Best Story – Norco

Tom: It’s rare a game captures a spirit of a place but if you want to explore Cancer Alley, as someone from the area, Norco nails it. It’s like being there. And the plot? It’s a little out of this world (ho ho ho he’s got jokes), but I could easily see it happening there. I never really knew what to expect but I was always very curious to see where it was going to go next.

Nick: Norco manages to create an extremely fun and engaging mystery that almost had me finishing the game in a single sitting. Despite being based on a real place, the worldbuilding done in the Norco timeline makes you feel involved, a part of this world. Meling together a blend of anti-capitalism, the supernatural, occultism, and learning about your deceased mother makes for some very delicious Norchos.
