8 itemsAbout the Game
You are a Neural Organic Replicant Model, or N.O.R.M. You wake in a mysterious facility and quickly realize you are not alone. The facility’s artificial intelligence has taken over - and the result is horrific.
Build on the successes of every run, looting everything you can extract with, unlocking new weapons, useful gear, and meaningful attachments as you delve deeper into the facility. You sense your humanity slipping away as you become the monster you need to be to escape… if you were ever human at all.
Procedurally Generated Runs
Facility layouts, encounters, vent connections, and loot paths are randomized every run. No two attempts are the same, forcing constant adaptation and planning.
Tactical Combat
Crawl through vents with a suppressed rifle or take enemies head-on with a fully automatic shotgun. You are the agent of emergent chaos.
Extraction-Based Risk Loop
If you want to keep it, survive long enough to extract with it. If you want to build it later, turn it in to Terminal.
Persistent Meta Progression
Death is inevitable and progress is accumulative. Materials and implants persist across each life, making each N.O.R.M. more powerful than the last.
Meaningful Gear & Loadout Decisions
Weapons, attachments, and gear change how you play and the choices you make. Experiment with loadouts to survive with whatever you can find.
Every death is a chance to learn.
Every life is a chance to evolve into something too powerful to contain.
