In June, we're playing a game that's already been heralded as one of the best of 2022.

NORCO is a Southern Gothic point & click narrative adventure that immerses you in the sinking suburbs and verdant industrial swamps of a distorted South Louisiana.

You play as Kay, who returns home after five itinerant years after the death of her mother. On returning to Norco, Louisiana, however, she finds that her brother Blake, who she had expected to care for, has gone missing. In the time that follows, the player explores Kay's house, hometown, and her own psyche, piecing together the disparate forces, emotions and memories that shaped the final weeks of her mother’s life.

NORCO's searing, sensitive narrative has already earned comparisons to classics like ZA/UM’s Disco Elysium (2016) and Cardboard Computer’s Kentucky Route Zero (2010). Through writing that balances lyricism with razor-sharp clarity, NORCO delves into the heart of a place, revealing the ley lines of intergenerational trauma, class and grief, and how they operate on us and our relationships.

Once you register, you'll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link to join the meetup.

NORCO is available on Mac and PC, and you can download NORCO Act One for free on the Steam Store.
