Juin 2240, après s'être fait couler un café bien serré, Augustus Pinkerton, détective privé, part en direction de son bureau où une nouvelle affaire l'attend. Il est chargé de mener une enquête concernant la disparition de Norma X, une jeune fille rebelle âgée de 19 ans. Cette histoire vous entraîne dans une aventure point and clic réalisée dans un environnement en voxel. Ce monde futuriste et atypique est peuplé de personnages qui m'ont quelque peu fait penser aux "LEGOS", ceux-ci sont dotés de voix robotiques qui peuvent paraître un peu déroutantes au début mais qui concordent parfaitement avec ces androïdes pixelisés. Les doublages sont en français avec possibilité d'activer les sous-titres. Sans être totalement parfaite, leur exécution reste de bonne facture. Pour les personnes vivant loin de notre hexagone, les sous-titrages ont également été traduits en Anglais. L'intrigue se dévoilera sans réelle difficulté, à mesure que vous investiguez les différents lieux, et une liste d'objectifs se mettra à jour dans votre inventaire en fonction de votre progression. L'inventaire est simple, il s'ouvre et se referme en cliquant sur le bouton central de la souris. Les objets ne peuvent se combiner entre-eux, leur usage étant très basique. Il vous est possible d'observer l'environnement avec le clic droit lorsque le pointeur se transforme en loupe, mais malheureusement, c'est ici un gros point faible. Que vous cliquiez sur une table, une banane, ou tout autre objet sans besoin direct avec les objectifs, ce cher Augustus ne pensera pas à vous gratifier d'une quelconque réplique. Le scénario, agrémenté de quelques notes salaces et d'une pincée d'humour, est la clé de voûte du jeu, au détriment des énigmes qui se font rares et sont très faciles à résoudre. Cependant, quelques-unes d'entre-elles pourraient bien révéler quelques petits bonus secrets... Les succès ont également un impact sur les bonus, qui sont consultables dans le menu, une fois le jeu terminé. La façon dont ils se débloquent est surprenante et amusante. J'ai beaucoup apprécié cette touche d'originalité. Concernant la prise en main, il est également possible de jouer avec une manette. Etant de la vieille école, il est pour moi impensable d'y songer pour ce type de jeu, donc je n'ai pas testé, mais des mises à jour ont été effectuées pour optimiser son utilisation. Malgré un gameplay basique et facile, "noRma" est une aventure qui sort du lot avec son environnement 3D voxelisé, son univers unique et son scénario farfelu. NoRma et Miss Cyber Channel auront causé bien des tourments à ce pauvre détective...

Atmosphere and art is there, but it should come with a better interface and a lot better English translation. Because the game is a sequel to a free visual novel game, the beginning bombards you with a lot of backstory. You are a detective who once solved a major case involving a scientist and his sex dolls. After developing his latest prototype, the scientist fell in love and fled with the doll. However, this doll series experienced a glitch and became violent. Long story short, you solved the case and turned off all but one of the dolls, which was reprogrammed and became your wife. Despite the game’s unique camera angles and look, you do not have direct control over the character. The game is most convenient to play with a mouse because you still move about and interact with it using a cursor. Although the gamepad is supported, using it is difficult because you have to move the cursor slowly across the screen. The left mouse button does the most of the work because the action changes depending on the hotspot, such as a speech bubble for characters or a cog for using anything. Everything else has a magnifying glass, prompting the main character to comment on it. Because certain hotspots have a default action and a magnifying glass, you can switch between them with the right mouse button. The right button is also used to examine items in your inventory. There is no modern quality of life option that highlights all hotspots, so you are completely on your own. Strangely, some hotspots do not provide any interaction. You can still see them, but no comments appear when you click on them. These hotspots may make the game more detailed, but they are also useless and a waste of time when attempting to use inventory items on them. The characters have voices, but the tone is not satisfying. Not because of the French language, but because every voice has an unpleasant robotic filter applied to it. Most people will not understand it anyway, but the filter makes it sound too artificial and AI. There is no skipping, so when you click on something, you have to listen to the entire thing. Due to French language, the game relies on subtitles. But the translation could use some tweaking because it’s literal, contains grammar mistakes, and sentences sound awkward in English. Sometimes text looks wrong or even feel like some of the text is missing. For instance, when you click on a television, the character says a lot but all you get for a translation is “television”. Inventory management is standard. You simply click on an object to activate it, then select another hotspot to use it. While it is frustrating that an object is removed after an incorrect usage, forcing you to re-select it each time you wish to use it, it is far more annoying that you have to open the inventory with a separate button. If you play with a controller, which is not recommended, all of the buttons are nearby. However, using a mouse makes for an uncomfortable experience. Instead of using the middle mouse button, you have to press the "I" key on the keyboard. You cannot hover the mouse to the top of the screen to display inventory or lock inventory to keep it on screen. This also means that playing with only one hand is out of the question. Despite the problems mentioned above, the game flows nicely and is not very long. It’s more about the story than puzzles, so you don’t have to juggle with too many items. Also, you don’t have to travel between locations. You are taken to different but closed areas according to the story, and you can always check the objective list to find out what needs to be done in the current location.
une petite pépite de Point'n'click vraiment super drôle
