    This video is intended for those who've completed the game.
    There are light spoilers covering the first half of the game throughout; I don't consider these spoilers so substantial as to ruin the gaming experience for those who haven't played the game yet, so feel free to watch if you're just curious about the game but don't mind minor spoilers.
    Major, endgame spoilers are discussed from 12:21 - 14:52 (spoiler warning in video). Feel free to skip that time if you don't want revelations from the second half of the game fully revealed to you.
    There is still plenty unsaid about the game in this review. If you watch the whole thing and it garners your interest in the full game, please play the game. It is amazing, honestly, and happens to be available right now through Game Pass.

    I hope more people play Norco so I can talk about Norco with more people

      Haha. This is always the problem with great but semi-obscure indie games!

    Nice video. I just finished this game and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, although I couldn’t quite figure out why. So I went looking for videos on it and this one definitely does the best job of explaining the feeling this game leaves you with.

    Loved this game so much. Such a masterpiece.
    Oh, and I agree that the fact that it steers clear of (and even critiques) the misery porn approach to places like Norco definitely is one of its strong points.

    Excellent analysis of NORCO; it's a beautiful game that left a lot on me as I played through it.

      Thank you very much! Coming from you that means a lot, considering the density and consistent quality of your writing.

    Thanks.

      Thanks for stopping by!
      The artwork is gorgeous and deftly adds to the game's somber atmosphere.
      I highly recommend you give it a shot someday. I'm glad I played it.

      I don't know what to do about it all.
      Form a community? Run? My health & wealth limits both while folks seem so crazy, so desperate for & focused on money, they don't even listen when I talk.
      Has the world gone mad or have I?
