Norco is a game that feels deeply nostalgic yet also undeniably modern. Its mechanics and n presentation are rooted in classic 90s point-and-click mystery adventures, yet its setting exists firmly in the present, perhaps even the future.

The game is an alternative-reality take on real-life Norco, Louisiana. You play by turns as Kay, a drifter who has returned home in search of her missing brother, and Kay's mother Catherine in the days leading up to her death. When Catherine's time runs out, she leaves behind a strange story of hidden secrets, corporate cover-ups, and floating lights in the sky.
