Southern gothic narrative adventure NORCO is coming to consoles
This has been a pretty awesome year for indie games, with titles like Cult of the Lamb, Immortality, and We Are OFK, just to name a few. One game has stuck with me since I reviewed it all the way back in March, and still remains one of my favorites to come out in 2022: the Southern Gothic narrative adventure NORCO that was “inspired by first-person pixel noirs like Déjà Vu & Snatcher and rooted in years of research,” according to the game’s creators. Set in a dystopian cyberpunk version of New Orleans, Louisiana, the game takes you on a journey through the infamous “Cancer Alley,” an area of Mississippi that accounts for a quarter of the US’s petrochemical production.
