NORCO

from Pixelated Playgrounds · host Pixelated Playgrounds

NORCO is what you get when you take a long lost LucasArts adventure game and steep it in Louisiana Bayou swamp water, then strain in through a filter of deep cynicism and hyper-local, near-future science fiction. Bryan and Josh showed up for the evocative writing and stunningly designed pixel art , but soon realized that the game’s crowning achievement was likely the way it was able to convey a sense of place and history perhaps more effectively than any other game they have played. So listen in for their discussion on NORCO’s story, themes, mechanics, and how it all blends together into an incredibly unique and affecting adventure game.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Local sci-fi gumboJosh - Desolated Bayou Banger Show Notes:NORCO Original Soundtrack
