Sometimes I Play Games

Occasionally I play games, not enough to make a year-end list anymore.

  Norco

  Wow, that's was strange ride. I loved all of the absurd elements and the very ornate descriptions for the basic "look at this thing" action you find in adventure games. I am not sure I get much of the deeper symbolism of all the religious elements. I do love the characters, the detective LeBlanc is fantastic and funny in a down-to-earth way. It was just such a strange world especially in how it blended things that were incredibly ordinary and relevant (pollution, poverty, religion) with fantastical elements (strange cults, malevolent AI, surrealism, uploading consciousness). When you have this many crazy pieces together it's really hard to wrap them all up together in an ending but Norco does just OK--it veers hard into surrealism and gives you just a few nuggets of story to be interesting.
