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-...

Good morning, Patreon supporters! I just posted the December devlog, featuring new environments, assets, and UI improvements.

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 !

Had the chance to play NORCO myself on a Steam Deck and can confirm it runs well. We added features to make things more comfortable, like using buttons to quickly cycle through selectables, and supporting both dpad & joystick for cursor control. There are a number of font options available as well.

Good morning. "Ducks over a marsh" by Cal Gaspard, 1970.

Patreon supporters, a new post is up covering progress on the latest environment. Thanks everyone!

This is the good stuff

Can't get enough of it really. A representation of Gulf South habitats as faithful as we can make it.

Played Norco by @geographyofrobots.bsky.social for @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social Game Club. It was an interesting and layered experience. I had seen it be recommended as a similar vibe to KRZ and yep, they are "of the same cloth" Happy to finally play it, It had some scenes I really loved.

I do think it makes for a good handheld experience. A little like flipping through postcards from Louisiana.

NORCO is Steam Deck Verified & 65% off until the 29th of October

Gathering textures for the new game in St. James Parish with our 3D artist Megan Acosta. A majority of the vegetation textures we use come from south of I-10.

Happy birthday, Promesa! An excellent game for those not familiar.

Dear patrons, our sound designer, fmAura, has compiled a digital mixtape of field recordings, sounds, and music from the new game, alongside tracks that serve as inspiration. You can listen via Patreon or an RSS link using your preferred podcast app.

"You commit to something, and you just become the incubator for the work." My conversation with Yuts / @geographyofrobots.bsky.social (maker of the great game NORCO) is up on @graywolfpress.bsky.social's Games Lab today: graywolflab.org/2025/10/03/e...

We are working on "Game"!

Extremely excited about this game

Good morning everyone, a short alpha gameplay reel featuring the latest progress on our new game is up on Patreon.

Fellow NORCO artist Jesse Jacobi devoted many months to this acrylic piece. If anybody knows anybody at Tor Books, please send it their way. A remarkable tribute.

Hi y'all!! Still super pleased with how this came out, would love to see it on some folks walls!

NORCO's EDITIONS release comes encased in a premium slipcase with original artwork from @geographyofrobots.bsky.social's own Yuts. Inside, find exclusive cover art by @esanchezill.bsky.social, an essay and developer interview booklet by Eurogamer Deputy Editor @christapsell.bsky.social + much more.

@narrascope.org 2025 talks are up, including my own talk on the resonances between information seeking behaviors and narrative design. the conference, hosts, and audience were all wonderful. also thanks to @meredithgran.com and @geographyofrobots.bsky.social for everything. youtu.be/AekYBb576sU

"Nothing wrong with my look. It's timeless" Here's the sticker design of Juggalo LeBlanc I did for @geographyofrobots.bsky.social and @lostincult.co.uk !

Glorious

ICYMI: we just announced NORCO as our next EDITIONS PS5 title. Immerse yourself in a surreal and uncanny South Louisiana in this beautifully presented point-and-click adventure. Find your missing brother in a futuristic, yet eroding, suburban New Orleans. Limited to 1,500 copies. 🔗👇

So much time and consideration goes into what Lost In Cult does for these releases. Stephen's focus from the start was clearly on expressing the themes and ambiance of the game in a cohesive physical form, making it feel like it emerged out of the game in some way vs just being a container for it.

Evening rebroadcast: the NORCO physical release is now available to pre-order through Lost In Cult. You can get the base game or a special edition limited run with prints, a slipcase, a booklet, and more. Both options feature custom artwork by @esanchezill.bsky.social.

Absolutely beautiful new physical game launch. We've been desperate to do something with NORCO and @geographyofrobots.bsky.social since 2022 😁 A true cult classic!

Mimi is still the OG NORCO stickersmith

The esteemed Chris Tapsell contributed original writing to the bundle, available as a booklet alongside concept and in-game art. It was a pleasure getting to know him through this release!
