How it feels
A reflective, text-driven experience that immerses you in a politically charged atmosphere where every choice feels weighty and the narrative slowly unfolds.

What players say
Players are split on Norman's Great Illusion. Many praise its political message and call it more art than game, but others are driven away by the mandatory math mini-game that only accepts arrow-key input with no mouse support. Some find the difficulty intentional, others call it unplayable.
