One of the best games I've played in recent memory. Full of moments that I will think about forever. Surreal, hyperreal, and small town familiarity all at once. There's nothing like it.

looks like *someone* is very excited for the party and isnt melting down or anything dont worry about that 🎉

Happy Birthday NORCO

Norco is a masterclass in atmosphere. Every element - the haunting soundtrack, the striking pixel art, and the surreal narrative - works in perfect harmony. It is a deeply affecting experience from @geographyofrobots.bsky.social that stays with you long after the screen goes black. 🕹️

NORCO is a really special game! Lotta little moments that stick with you for years. Some wonderful artwork. Commits completely to a sense of place. Can’t to see this new project

This reminded me of the Teesside Steelworks near where I once lived and all the things that died with it. They got rid of it with the largest single explosive demolition in British history. store.steampowered.com/app/1221250/...

On parle souvent du jeu vidéo comme d'une œuvre d'art, ce qui est généralement une vérité absolue, mais certains titres transcendent cette appellation, ou du moins lui donne son sens véritable. C'est le cas de Norco, un déroutant "dialogue-focused point & click adventure"... 🡣

Another “going to live rent free in my head” game.

First person to attempt the NORCO City Hall puzzle irl.

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."

Pixel art depictions of Interstate 10 in NORCO.

The new one's an industrial sprawl wetland investigation game that weaves in the history of the La Salle expedition and other pieces of the Gulf South's colonial past.

Now up on Patreon: progress on the latest environment for our new game. You can also find developer logs & interviews, Aseprite project files, desktop wallpapers and a lot of other things. Thank you to our supporters!

We went out for a late Aldi run recently and the sky was intensely glowing red in the distance. We initially thought a house a street or two over was on fire but nah, just one of the chemical plants off of Airline. I’ve grown up around these things but I hadn’t seen it that intense in a while.

The blog Sky City had a good run (2006 - 2019). It documented retail stores across the South (and eventually elsewhere), many of them shuttered or dying. Included advertisements, site plans, etc. A great attempt to capture a bit of the history of the prodigious Southern suburbs.

i dont remember this part of norco, maybe ive been playing it wrong this entire time 😰 @geographyofrobots.bsky.social

With so many games being released every year it's easy to let some fall by the wayside, and that needs to not happen with NORCO. Easily one of the best releases of the last few years.

"I don’t think we give enough credit to weirdness in games as a source of mystery and power." New essay up on @essaydaily.bsky.social's advent calendar today on the video game NORCO from @geographyofrobots.bsky.social and advocating for weirdness (minor spoilers): www.essaydaily.org/2025/12/dec-...

NORCO is one of my all time favorite games and if you get it for 65% off that’s highway robbery on I59 and also I10 so you really should just jump on this

NORCO's a Christmas game. 65% off on Steam through December 12th.

www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-... You should buy this bundle and get every game! Yes, my game Adios is in it. It's $13 for the entire collection; it would mean the world to us if you picked it up. You have about two days to do it!

Play NORCO wherever you can find it.

Can confirm this is one of the best games for steam deck. Thick atmosphere with intelligent world building that has a very real sense of political economy. Excited for your upcoming @geographyofrobots.bsky.social !
