About Metanormal
It's up to Desmond Gates, the boy with the ability to interact with spirits, to restore order.
By his side are his best friends, Cicilia Shine and Milo Martin.
Accompanying them on their journey is Otto, a spirit that's been protecting Desmond since he was a child.
Their path will constantly be fraught with danger, having to face a wide variety of opponents.
Gameplay
During combat you are taken out of the world and placed into a bullet-hell stage. Each stage will be unique and modeled around the opponent. Stages could also have sudden changes in combat mechanics, like switching from the usual free-roam to a platformer.
The concept is simple, your goal is to deplete the enemy's health bar before they do the same to you.
You attack by staying on top of a white-bordered object, most commonly a circle.
You have to stay on it long enough for the white parts to completely disappear to cause damage to the enemy.
That's easier said than done because the enemy will throw everything its got at you to keep you off it.
If you find yourself low on health, chase the green HP Savers.
It's up to you to decide how risky you want to play it.

Metanormal is an experimental supernatural adventure that blends visual novel storytelling, role-playing ideas, and bullet-hell action into a surprisingly distinctive package. Developed and published by Melancholic Nights Studio, the game follows a small group of characters caught in a growing conflict between humanity and increasingly powerful spirits. Rather than committing entirely to either narrative-driven gameplay or arcade-style combat, Metanormal attempts to connect the two. Its greatest strength comes from this willingness to experiment, although the limited scope of the available experience also makes it feel more like a demonstration of a larger concept than a completely realized adventure. The story revolves around a supernatural disturbance affecting spirits that have been unable to properly pass into the afterlife. Trapped within the Spirit Realm, these entities have gradually become restless and increasingly powerful. Eventually, some begin entering the Human Realm, where their intentions range from domination to destruction. This premise provides the game with more narrative potential than a conventional story about simply defeating monsters. The spirits exist beca…2 found this helpful

Игра 'Metanormal' захватила меня своей атмосферой таинственности и непредсказуемости. Сюжет, закрученный вокруг паранормальных явлений и скрытых обществ, держит в напряжении от начала и до конца. Графика, хоть и не поражает передовыми технологиями, отлично передает мрачную эстетику мира, в котором грань между реальностью и вымыслом размывается. Персонажи получились живыми и запоминающимися, у каждого своя история и мотивы. Интересно наблюдать за их взаимодействием и развитием в процессе расследования. Геймплей сочетает в себе элементы визуальной новеллы, головоломок и детективного расследования, что делает его разнообразным и увлекательным. Особо хочется отметить музыкальное сопровождение, которое идеально дополняет атмосферу и подчеркивает ключевые моменты сюжета. Иногда возникают небольшие шероховатости в управлении, но они не критичны и не портят общее впечатление от игры. В целом, 'Metanormal' - это отличный выбор для тех, кто любит игры с глубоким сюжетом, загадками и паранормальными явлениями. Рекомендую к прохождению!
This game is outstanding! The Bullet Hell is really fun! The game is hard as all hell! I love hard games so much! This will likely be one of my favorites when it releases!
Complete Honesty! I am VERY IMPRESSED, and I feel like everything in this game speaks to me! The artwork and the soundtrack draws me in not to mention I love the Characters, Otto is a cool lil Flame, And I love how I thought Mimi was a girl not a nickname for Milo haha. 9/10 love the game! I have a lot more to explore tho! Ill have a link today to my first look at it, and you will see why I enjoyed it so much! Well done and thank you for the creative story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d87Ds2b2Xc
