Table of Contents

If walls of text make you sick, and you've avoided Disco Elysium because of that, then you are certainly not the target audience for Geography of Robots' debut production. The reason is simple - the gameplay of the game (albeit unique on many fronts) mainly involves reading. NORCO is a text-driven game.
Even if the plot outline is quite simple, it can still keep you chained to the computer for a long time - like a good PDF. Our hero begins the search for his brother Blake after their mother dies. The path will take us to swamp industrial areas modeled after Louisiana, and our allies are rather unique (e.g. a plush monkey). Due to the huge amount of text in the game, it is recommended to try out NORCO only if your knowledge of English is satisfactory.
