Normal Golf Game is set to launch on PC via Steam on September 21. The demo, released on May 27, holds a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, and the full version will include over 100 Bounties, multiple clubs, a nine-hole course, and difficulty levels beyond Nightmare.
Luke Muscat, co-creator of Fruit Ninja, released a demo for Normal Golf Game on Steam on May 27. The game is a physics-based golf simulation with a surreal premise: a live-action protagonist trapped in a golf course, facing a $100,000 bill and vague memories. Players control swings with a mouse, adjusting stance, orientation, face angle, and trajectory. The demo covers about 30 minutes near the clubhouse and includes a tutorial and missions like destroying signs.
On June 17, the demo was highlighted for its strict physics and live-action hands. The full version was announced to include a nine-hole course, and play time and stroke counts are recorded, supporting speedrunning. By August 12, Muscat announced the release date of September 21 on Steam. The demo's wishlist count grew from about 5,000 to 40,000 within roughly three months, and it earned a 'Very Positive' rating with 97% of 330 user reviews praising satisfying shots and a quick retry system.
The full version will feature over 100 Bounties, optional challenges such as destroying three watermelons or landing on a distant green, multiple clubs with distinct physics, and difficulty levels beyond Nightmare, including Diabolical and Impossible. Muscat is developing the game solo, with marketing support from Future Friends Games.
