April 2025
almost all the reviews i read of norco talk about how if you love disco elysium, you'd probably love this too. and honestly, even just reading random quotes from disco elysium is enough to tear me up and give me goosebumps, so i was excited to see if norco would fill the aching gap disco elysium left in me. and while i do see where the comparisons come from, i think the two games have completely different tones. disco elysium gives me hope. even when everything's falling apart, it has this weird warmth to it. norco felt darker and heavier. it’s less about finding connection and more about grief, memory, and returning to something that no longer fits. that said, i loved it. the setting is incredibly rich, a southern sci-fi landscape full of industrial decay, religious imagery, and surreal moments that somehow all work together. it has this deep, swampy atmosphere that wraps around you. visually and emotionally, it sticks. and the writing, when it hits, it really hits. i think what makes a narrative game great is how it gets you to care about the characters, and i ended up caring a lot about people i never even expected to like. norco even has a party system, like in rpg games, which isn't a mechanic we see a lot in point and click adventure games. the addition of it here really helped those connections with the characters grow. is norco a new favourite of mine? no. because there were moments that felt like a bit of a reach, and some of the writing didn’t always speak to me. but it’s definitely an experience i’ll remember, one that really left its mark on me. i feel like i could just keep going... so i’ll stop here. i’ll just say this: while norco didn’t replace disco elysium in my heart, it echoed in a similar place.

NORCO is a beautifully crafted and immensely aesthetic game that is set in a near future, hyper-capitalist Louisiana that itself is placed within a world that is rapidly collapsing due to climate change. The story follows Kay, a drifter/runaway who returns home to Louisiana following the death of her mother. The story that expands from there covers many themes, most notably it revolves around corporate greed, a dying earth, mystery, religion, grief and that strange sense of loss and uneasiness when you return to your childhood town. I am not a big fan of point and click adventures, normally i find them rather mechanically boring. However the writing, art and soundtrack of NORCO were incredible. This game is one of the few games that has (albeit briefly) tickled the itch that has been left within my brain after completing Disco Elysium, a praise I would not throw out lightly. Highly recommend this game. Given its length it is something you could easily play through in one sitting or a nice rainy day. 9/10

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.

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.
