Curator Review

By 80 Days January 25, 2021

“美术又拉满了，对于重文字的AVG来说更是质变。这几年因为微博朋友圈短视频的狂欢，就有了反对碎片化信息的声音。但不少人在否定时并未在意读者的具体感受，于是只有粗暴干预。那为什么“懒得”大段阅读：这是读图时代，很多人的阅读习惯已经变了，图像感受力提升的同时是文字接受力的下降，喜欢读图所以下意识回避文字的判断逐渐成了日常习惯。我总在扯游戏美术，不单因为它让我们继续好奇，更好的是，它还能帮助我们重返文字。”

About This Game



NORCO is a Southern Gothic point & click narrative adventure that immerses the player in the sinking suburbs and verdant industrial swamps of a distorted South Louisiana. Your brother Blake has gone missing in the aftermath of your mother's death. In the hopes of finding him, you must follow a fugitive security android through the refineries, strip malls, and drainage ditches of suburban New Orleans.

Immerse yourself in a surreal and uncanny South Louisiana




NORCO’s painterly and cinematic pixel art draws the player into its quotidian sci-fi world of disappearing swamplands, labyrinthine oil refineries, and other landscapes inspired by the titular town of Norco, Louisiana and other parts of Greater New Orleans. Sink into the rich field recordings and sound design by fmAura and a driving, post-industrial electronic score from Gewgawly I.

Unravel a mystery in a world haunted by the past and threatened by the future




What starts as a straightforward search for your missing brother quickly spirals into a multigenerational mystery. The lines between salvation, memory, technology, and nature bleed together into a uniquely compelling, contemplative narrative rooted in Southern literature, pulp fiction, and point & click adventure games both classic and contemporary.

Explore alongside sharply drawn characters with deep roots, rich backstories, and complex motives




A chaotic bayou pirate, bar-stool private detective, escaped security android, and your stuffed childhood monkey will all offer assistance in an eroding and uncertain world. Solve puzzles, fight your way past corporate security goons, and infiltrate an influencer cult squatting an abandoned mall on the outskirts of New Orleans.
