dear lord the vibesss in this game. it's so weird and atmospheric and tragic and haunting and funny. there's just something about a casual dystopia that gets to me. even though i felt like i was in a fever dream the story felt so true and real. the art is so good i wanna eat it, and the soundtrack is on point. the prose is beautiful: "These stars," she swats at the flaking bits of strengthened glass that decorate the ring of her face, "are his eyes." She shakes her head violently. Crystals of glass rain into the water as it rises to find her neck. "What am I then? Does it mean anything when I apologize?" The water rises still more to the crown of her head. She continues to speak an indecipherable static. Soon there is no more robot left to flood. 10/10 game can't stop thinking about it

Good example of a modern adventure game done right. Kentucky Route Zero meets Disco Elysium.

What did I just play. I was worried the lack of animation and a lot of text would bore me, but nope. It's one of the best games I've played, topped only by Disco Elysium, and Lion's Song also comes to mind. The developers have a lot of fun with the incredible art, crafty zoom ins, and minimal movement. As the game progresses, the art is just getting more and more insane. I love it. Gorgeous. The music and sound is so pleasant and moody, and the first second you play in your room feels like everything is a bad dream, the day is beautiful and full of hope. Hahaha. Ha. The arcade fight was cute. I felt I had something to do and was fitting for the game. Easy. But the story and the world are something else. It starts casual. It proceeds to become less and less normal, both weird and realistic. There is a cat you pet that foretells stuff, but you just don't believe it. The way the real world mixes with increasingly futuristic and ludicrous themes is so well written and out there, I can only be jealous of the creativity displayed. I want a developer commentary mode, which is a documentary probably to cover everything in the game. Masterpiece indeed. I don't know why this game isn't more popular. It should!

This is the most surreal, beautiful, sorrowful game I have had the pleasure of playing. a great criticism and well spoken prose, all while having some of the best storytelling. for being a text based game, a damn good story can still be told even with only pixels and images.

It's not a game for everyone. But for those it is for, it is one of the more beautiful pieces of media I've ever seen. I think this game gets criticised a bit for not really having a strong focus on its themes. It asks a couple questions, but not very many. It certainly doesn't answer many questions. But I don't think it tries to. To me, NORCO is a game about depicting things as they are, more or less. It's vaguely near future and quite surreal, but as with much of the tradition of magic realism, that doesn't really matter. Events, consequences, reasons why - these are not things that matter to NORCO. It's not even really a dystopia, in the sense that it's quite real. Reading an interview with the author, NORCO was never intended to be dystopic either. It's quite autobiographical, it seems. Frankly, the details are not things that matter to me either, at least not in this context. It's a game about the past, the future, and the vibes of the present. So sit back and embrace the near-future atmosphere. Of South Louisiana.
