Introduction:
Welcome to the Norman’s Great Illusion Trophy Guide!
Norman’s Great Illusion is the latest game to be ported over to the PS4 and Vita by Sometimes You. Sporting more lovely retro pixel art graphics, join Norman’s journey through his working life and decide on what moral choices he must make and what consequences they may bring.
The game consists of 2 minigames; a simple reflex game during driving, and a maths minigame for every work shift. Each day there will also be a moral question you will have to make a choice for. I will tell you in the text walkthrough below which choices to make to ensure you please your work colleagues and get invited to the Christmas party, which is needed for the last trophy 
Merry Christmas.
All in all it’s a fun and simple little game with a straightforward trophy list so after following this guide enjoy your nice new easy Platinum!
Roadmap:
Step 1: Do 3 short bad runs, for most trophies, all 3 endings and get fired
Each of these short runs will only take a couple of minutes. For a run to get fired first do well in the car minigame, then do badly in the work minigame, rinse and repeat so on the evening of day 3/62 you will get fired and earn an ending trophy will follow the next day. For the remaining 2 ending trophies just start new games and purposefully fail and crash in the car minigame and also do badly at the work minigame, on the morning of day 3/62 you will get the ending options.
Please see the text walkthrough or video guide for more details.
You’ll be earning these trophies:
This is not rocket science Very expensive lesson Need to start from something Your kind is not welcomed here It’s the End Real pedestrian Terror is always a bad idea Undergrounder Three endings
Step 2: Do a good run to Day 10 (in-game will say Day 276) for the last 3 trophies
Start a new game and this time every day do well at the car minigame and do well at the work minigame. If you are a bit rubbish at the maths work minigame don’t worry you can just press options to pause the timer and get a little helping hand from a calculator! By consistently doing well at the work minigame you will get a daily bonus and a promotion on day 8/215.
During this step you’ll earn these trophies: You got a reward Employee of the month Merry Christmas
Norman’s Great Illusion Platinum
Tips and Strategies:
Maths Minigame note: When you see “:” in the sum it means divide! What is important this playthrough is in order to get the ‘Merry Christmas’ trophy you must please your work colleagues enough to be invited to the Christmas party so you must select good choices for all the daily moral questions. You will need to play through to day 10/276 to reach Christmas and get this last trophy. Please see the text walkthrough or video guide for all correct choices that will guarantee you the trophy.
