    I think a lot of people who obsess over Disco Elysium should spend less time litigating its legacy and play another game, like Norco, which is a masterpiece that not enough people played.

    An introduction to this project: we're a small game studio based in South Louisiana. Our first release NORCO (2022) is a sci-fi graphic adventure set in the New Orleans suburbs. Gameplay resembles Hideo Kojima's Snatcher or a modernized MacVenture such as Deja Vu.

    If you want to play a game for this moment, give NORCO a shot. It's a narrative game about what happens when the world turns to systems that encourage us to dehumanize each other, like crypto or AI or corporate feudalism (it's actual cyberpunk!!). It's only two years old but it has aged like wine

    I started a playlist of ambient loops from NORCO, featuring music, sound, and artwork from the game. I'll continue to add to it over the next few weeks for those who would like background sounds and visuals from the game. Link below.

    I impulsively decided to try out Norco last night and ended up playing through half the game. It's a dystopian, narrative-driven point and click, the pixel art style is GORGEOUS & the writing, humour and music are 10/10. I haven't stopped thinking about it so I think I'm going to finish it today!

    Platinum 🏆299🏆 was Norco 🚀 I absolutely adored this game; it was everything a point and click adventure should be. Pensive, funny, melancholy, and completely eccentric. I was hooked from start to finish and so glad I gave this gem a try. Top Platinum screenshot too 🤭

    Had the chance to play NORCO myself on a Steam Deck and can confirm it runs well. We added features to make things more comfortable, like using buttons to quickly cycle through selectables, and supporting both dpad & joystick for cursor control. There are a number of font options available as well.

    I’m not buying anything in the steam sale but if I were here are some things I would purchase! NORCO- a beautiful sci fi point and click game set in Louisiana. Act 1 is free and the whole thing is $5 SKALD: Against the Black Priory- an rpg with dice rolling and a lot of beautiful, dark pixel art.

    I love and have bought Norco, Pentiment, and every other story focused videogame out there, and I still think it's worth focusing on Disco Elysium's legacy because this upcoming game is gonna be directly handing cash to the guys who stole the IP, literary critique notwithstanding

    I've bought NORCO three times, most recently the PS5 edition from @lostincult.co.uk, because it's such a great example of a game firing on all cylinders. I look at these and find myself nostalgic for a five year old game. "Oh, I remember where I was in that scene, and that scene, and that scene."

  • Does it play? @doesitplay.orgBluesky · Feb 2, 2026

    NORCO has earned our Badge of Approval! We are particularly proud of this one, as we were able to identify a game-breaking bug during our testing. Together with Lost In Cult and Geography of Robots we made sure it won't sneak onto the physical release.

  • Joy @ahoyitsjoy.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 27, 2025

    Incredible game, a steal at this price. If digital games were a thing I could put on a shelf, I would put NORCO next to Kentucky Route Zero, Disco Elysium, Phoenix Springs... And if you have much familiarity with southern Louisiana it's really gonna hit.

    NORCO is a text-based point & click adventure that immerses the player in the sinking suburbs and industrial swamplands of an increasingly surreal and distorted South Louisiana. This game is making me feel so many things. It's so God damn beautiful.

    I have taught Norco in every semester I've offered the Decolonial Game Design course. It has one of the clearest visions of the past, present, and near future of the United States. It also does a supreme, consistent job of the "creepy stare + jump scare" in a way that'll haunt your dreams.
