This is a sub-page of Prerelease:Normality.

Later magazine prerelease articles show screenshots of a distinctly later build that is not quite the same as retail. It still features the debugging numbers at the top left of the screen that's also seen in the demo. The earliest screenshots were published in May 1996.

Kent's Apartment

In Kent's apartment, the box that used to be on top of the microwave has been moved down to the stovetop. However, it still has the old graphic—the retail version renewed this graphic to look more natural for its new location.

Notably, we can see that the kettle is now gray and the mug blue, just like in retail, whereas they were orange and green in the older prerelease version.

M.I.N.T. Mall

The mall has only a few minor differences compared to retail.

The blind man's dog is in a slightly different place.

The mall's exterior had not been finalized yet, as some of the shopping carts are missing and an extra tree is present.
