Norco is utterly captivating. It is a brief point-and-click noir thriller through a bleak cyberpunk world as you piece together the mystery behind your mother's death and search for your missing brother.
The gorgeous pixel art does a great job of painting the grime of Norco, with a soundtrack and story that all work together to capture the aesthetic perfectly. It is utterly strange and very well written, and much is left to interpretation. There are some brief "gameplay" segments of puzzle solving and even combat, but it is largely a narrative adventure. It's quite short, coming in at just over 5 hours for me but I felt that was the perfect length. Fans of this genre should definitely check this one out.
