Norco

NORCO is a point-and-click narrative adventure set in the sinking suburbs and industrial swamps of a distorted South Louisiana. After your mother’s death, your brother Blake goes missing. To find him, you follow a fugitive security android through the refineries, strip malls and drainage ditches of suburban New Orleans.

South Louisiana

The game’s painterly, cinematic pixel art depicts a science-fiction world of disappearing swamplands, labyrinthine oil refineries and other landscapes inspired by Norco, Louisiana, and Greater New Orleans. Field recordings and sound design by fmAura accompany a post-industrial electronic score by Gewgawly I.

A family mystery

Your search for Blake develops into a mystery spanning generations. The story explores salvation, memory, technology and nature, with roots in Southern literature, pulp fiction and classic and contemporary point-and-click adventures.

Characters and challenges

You explore alongside characters with deep roots, detailed backstories and complex motives, including a bayou pirate, a bar-stool private detective, an escaped security android and your stuffed childhood monkey. You solve puzzles, fight corporate security goons and infiltrate an influencer cult occupying an abandoned mall on the outskirts of New Orleans.
