Norco was GOTY

NORCO was a gem that made me laugh out loud at moments. Looking forward to the next project.

NORCO was a masterpiece. Was enthralled with the experience the entire time. The characters, the writing the overall aesthetics—just brilliant stuff. Eager to see what you got coming next.

So... you guys made NORCO... thank you!

Norco was such a wild trip for me. The final twists and turns completely caught me off guard. I actually thought about the game during this most recent election cycle because of one very specific shocking event that paralleled.

This game is so much on my list.
It comes up quite often on the KRZ subreddit as a recommendation. I'm quite hyped up.

The game's key art was hand-painted by @greenheronart.bsky.social who also contributed many pixel art pieces and remains a close collaborator. The project began as a small HTML5 side-scroller in late 2015 and has evolved dramatically over the years. It was picked up by publisher Raw Fury in 2020.

Norco was great.

Seriously. I'm struggling to put words to it beyond "the vibe is immaculate." I could compare it to Kentucky Route Zero, but that comparison short-changes them both, as they're very distinct from each other.

It's extremely uplifting to read this, thank you so much!

We're early in the development of a new game with the working title "Sulfur" (or "Silenus"), an investigative mystery set on a string of islands along the U.S. southern coast. We'll share updates here. We also post detailed dev logs on Patreon & are very grateful to our friends and supporters.

Excited to see you folks again! Norco is an all-timer.

geographyofrobots.bsky.social•27 days ago

Thank you very much!

Yessss can’t wait; Norco was so good

HOLY SHIT YES!

kiranjv.bsky.social•26 days ago

Really looking forward to your next game!

Idk if this would affect marketing or dev, but there seems to be another game called SULFUR out in early access

This is very good info, thank you! We'll have to choose something else.
