Quietly sitting at an 85 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. This one plays like prestige TV: science fiction, mystery, characters with actual depth, and a adventure game frame around it all. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run.

About this game

Norco is a Southern Gothic point & click narrative adventure that immerses the player in the sinking suburbs and verdant industrial swamps of a distorted South Louisiana. Your brother Blake has gone missing in the aftermath of your mother's death. In the hopes of finding him, you must follow a fugitive security android through the refineries, strip malls, and drainage ditches of suburban New Orleans.

Explore a world of detail-rich and atmospheric pixel art born from the petrochemical landscapes of South Louisiana. Navigate your way through a world of uncertainty and moral ambiguity as you venture deeper into the swamp to unravel the threads left by your brother. Fight, sneak, or fast-talk your way past any hometown bullies, security contractors, or death cults that stand in your way. Bust into a refinery with your robot friends. Immerse yourself in the eclectic, atmospheric soundscapes of Gewgawly I. Explore vast scenic landscapes of pulsing nightlife and eerie solitude. Recruit a wild-eyed river dog.
