Southern gothic narrative adventure NORCO is coming to consoles

destructoid.com:

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.

Now, the game’s developer Geography of Robots has announced that NORCO is finally coming to consoles with a PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One release on October 20. You can also play on Xbox Games Pass, if that suits your fancy. I obviously own NORCO on PC already, but I’m super excited for this release, because it means the game will be accessible to more players — and this game deserves all the hype it can get, if getting hype for old-school point-and-clicks is your thing.

NORCO is a point & click narrative tour of a distorted South Louisiana, inspired by first-person pixel noirs like Déjà Vu & Snatcher and rooted in years of research. You can find it here:
