What Does Norbert Do in Shift at Midnight?

In Shift at Midnight, Norbert the gnome is revealed as a recurring doppelganger.

Shooting him does not fix the issue — he comes back later with new pranks.

Players are advised to mostly leave him alone unless they need to deal with a specific anomaly.

His return can include nuisance forms like a bike rider, disguised customer, or poisoned lemonade stand that damages HP.
