Norco, a rich pixelated universe of bizarre conspiracies, difficult family histories, and insurrectionary androids hiding in the swamp. Wander the solitary industrialized streets of your hometown in search of your brother. Lose yourself in the textured synth magic of New Orleans-based composer Gewgawly I, with a guest track by Andy Gibbs of the doom metal band Thou.

Norco, Louisiana. December 14th, X92A.
Several days after returning to your childhood home to handle your dead mother's estate, you awake to find a strange message from your brother waiting in your voicemail. Accompanied by a fugitive security cyborg that your mother harbored for almost a decade, you must search the broken industrial landscapes of Norco to find your missing brother before it's too late. Featuring retro cyberpunk adventure gameplay that pays homage to such classics as Snatcher, Rise of the Dragon, and Read Only Memories, Norco guides the player through a rich pixelated world of androids, swamplands, and oil refineries to piece together a mystery that goes deeper than it seems.

Gameplay Features
* Converse with a range of unique characters through a branching non-linear dialogue system
* Collect scale and feather tokens to speak to reptiles and birds
* Rent and play games from the local video store
* Check the news and weather on your UX500
* Scratch away at the dark history of your hometown through investigation and puzzles

Explore a world of detail-rich and atmospheric pixel art born from the petrochemical landscapes of South Louisiana.

Find clarity and confusion through a branching non-linear dialogue system.
Bust into a refinery with your robot friends.

Immerse yourself in the eclectic, atmospheric soundscapes of Gewgawly I.
Skulk around downtown New Orleans on a desolate weeknight.
Recruit a wild-eyed river dog.

A gameplay style reminiscent of such classics as Snatcher and Rise of the Dragon, as well as more recent revivals such as Read Only Memories and VA-11 HALL-A.
