RagnarRox's video: NORCO is a Haunting Indie Masterpiece Games from Underground

GAMES FROM UNDERGROUND: NORCO NORCO is a beautiful, ephemeral and astonishingly well-written Sci-Fi Southern Gothic Detective Story set in the petrochemical swamplands of the real-world town of Norco, Louisiana, that touches on many of the most important struggles of our current generation. It’s been developed by Geography of Robots and published by RawFury and was released in April 2022, and it absolutely took me by storm. This video is a (largely spoiler-free) discussion of the impressions it made on me, themes and game design intricacies that deserve high praise. **Get NORCO** You can get it for 20% off exclusively through this video for the next 7 days on GOG: https://af.gog.com/redeem/Norcorox?as=1628879817 **Support the Channel** http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShow Ragnar’s GOG Hot-List https://af.gog.com/partner/RagnarRox?as=1628879817 Chapters 00:00 Part 1: Introduction 05:06 Part 2: Overview 09:02 Part 3: Narrative Choices/Mindmap 15:24 Part 4: Coming Home 20:20 Part 5: Development History 23:34 Part 6: Cyberpunk is Today 30:43 Part 7: Industry Blues 38:44 Part 8: Amazing Prose 41:40 Part 9: Formatting Nerdery 46:41 Closing Statement/Credits __ Credits Co-Written By/Copy-editing: Michael Saba Captions (English): Matt Cox https://twitter.com/pop_primer __ Video Sources The Feature That Almost Sank Disco Elysium | GameSpot https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-the-feature-that-almost-sunk-disco-elysium-was/1100-6472676/ Interview Umberto Eco: I Was Always Narrating | Louisiana Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8IWTOFNlOc Norco Real Life Footage by Yuts’ YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/NorcoLouisiana __ Music Credits Contains excerpts from: Norco OST, Ghost in the Shell OST, Blade Runner - The Game OST, Disco Elysium OST
