What Makes 'Normal Club Stand Out
Explore Buckcreek in search of paranormal hot spots. From author Philip Armstrong, winner of the Windhammer Prize 2013 and the studio behind The Frankenstein Wars and Heavy Metal Thunder -among other adventure gamebooks.
‘Normal Club is an investigation adventure in which you build (and play as) a team of three members of the West C. High School Competitive Paranormal Investigation Club as they investigate a big scoop and try to beat their academic rivals.
"For a perfectly normal American town, Buckcreek sure has an unusual amount of
paranormal hot spots. While the team might be tempted to stake out the first spooky graveyard or haunted zoo they come across, it might be better if they narrow down their options and actually figure out the location of tonight’s big discovery."
FEATURES
· Explore Buckcreek and the mysterious surroundings in search of paranormal hot spots
· Build your team (including Jim Morrison -the Club’s pet chupacabra and mascot- or not)
· Overcome challenges to progress and collect the right clues
· Comic-like, simple interface
· Binaural audio to create immersive soundscapes
· Interactive narrative with hundreds of (funny) choices
Your team needs the final trophy to knock out the rival team!

Community Insight:
It is also a little too random, and there are no updates whatsoever other than one 4 months ago.
We enjoyed the art, the writing, and how the story changes based on which characters you have. The concept is great you search for clues, go on paranormal adventures, and make choices. But sadly it ends up feeling like a demo, as its over after one short adventure. Would totally play a sequel that expands this universe.
What everyone else said Plus: it suddenly turned everything to Spanish and no matter what we clicked we couldnt turn it back to english.
First off Love the concept! Art style is unique and not bad by any means but the core game mechanic is crap and makes the game unplayable the bar swings at 20million frames a second but eventually becomes predictable with timing its a pretty basic game and we would personally not recommend it :/.
