"takes players on surreal journey through Louisiana"



Deep into "Norco," the video game, one of the characters finds herself trying to break into an abandoned mall in Kenner to steal a magical object of unknown origin from the apocalyptic cult that has hidden it away.

It's but one scene in a procession of increasingly surreal and bizarre situations in a game that counts talking birds, malevolent robots and messianic cultists among its cast. More than the people, though, the game's setting is the main character.

The scenes will be familiar to anyone from southeast Louisiana, despite the fantastical plot. Characters criss-cross the New Orleans area, from battures along the Mississippi River to City Hall, traveling on Interstate 10, Airline Highway and Apple Street in the actual community of Norco.

That is probably easier than making it through mega man 1 without taking a hit

You have to get another player to take over the notes on your f250, boat, and side by side in order to get to the final level.

Not if you achieve the New Iberia Haircut of Invincibility.

ETA: If low on health, steal a Cigarette from Prop Stop, then pick up assorted sloots.

I feel like trash admitting this but I’ve been in there before, with some D-han skanks.

ETA: I am trash, I’ve come to terms.

just saw this available on Xbox Game Pass for PC this past weekend. Looks pretty damn interesting, gave it a download, but haven't gotten to play it yet.
