Happy New Year to all the Normal Horse friends, family, and fans out there! 2025 was a huge year for our team…and our first year as a team. We’re so excited to see what 2026 brings for Normal Horse and Nocternum. Here’s to more demos, events, playtests, swag, and fun!

Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season from the Normal Horse team! 🎄🎁
We can’t wait to see how Nocternum grows in 2026!

2025 BFIG Digital Audience Choice Award

The Normal Horse team, led by developer Nolan Manning, was incredibly honored to accept the Digital Audience Choice Award at this year’s Boston Festival of Indie Games. @bostonfig.bsky.social

What a day! This year’s Boston Festival of Indie Games was amazing!! We can’t believe how many people sat down at our booth to play Nocternum. 🌑 There were so many impressive digital and tabletop games in the showcase - we wish we had time to try them all! @bostonfig.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone who played and voted for Nocternum! The Boston Indie Game community is so inspiring, and we couldn't believe how much passion there was for indie games in the room today. Thank you so much @bostonfig.bsky.social for a truly wonderful event. We hope to be back next year!

Here’s a sneak peek of just some of the free swag you can snag at our @bostonfig.bsky.social table tomorrow. We can’t wait to see you there!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Normal Horse team! 🦃

Hay! We’re just a couple of normal horses working on our first game, Nocternum. Seemingly anything but normal, Nocternum puts you in the shoes of a child suddenly awoken as the prophesized hero, tasked to save a broken world overrun by bloodthirsty demons. Follow us as we make this game a reality!
