Electric Geographies Ander Monson in conversation with Yuts, creator of NORCO I first encountered NORCO last year teaching a course on narrative games. It’s a throwback-style point-and-click video game released in 2022…

"You commit to something, and you just become the incubator for the work."

My conversation with Yuts / @geographyofrobots.bsky.social (maker of the great game NORCO) is up on @graywolfpress.bsky.social's Games Lab today: graywolflab.org/2025/10/03/e...

Fellow NORCO artist Jesse Jacobi devoted many months to this acrylic piece. If anybody knows anybody at Tor Books, please send it their way. A remarkable tribute.

ICYMI: we just announced NORCO as our next EDITIONS PS5 title.

Immerse yourself in a surreal and uncanny South Louisiana in this beautifully presented point-and-click adventure.

Find your missing brother in a futuristic, yet eroding, suburban New Orleans.

Limited to 1,500 copies. 🔗👇

So much time and consideration goes into what Lost In Cult does for these releases. Stephen's focus from the start was clearly on expressing the themes and ambiance of the game in a cohesive physical form, making it feel like it emerged out of the game in some way vs just being a container for it.

Evening rebroadcast: the NORCO physical release is now available to pre-order through Lost In Cult.

You can get the base game or a special edition limited run with prints, a slipcase, a booklet, and more. Both options feature custom artwork by @esanchezill.bsky.social.

Absolutely beautiful new physical game launch. We've been desperate to do something with NORCO and @geographyofrobots.bsky.social since 2022 😁 A true cult classic!

Mimi is still the OG NORCO stickersmith

The esteemed Chris Tapsell contributed original writing to the bundle, available as a booklet alongside concept and in-game art. It was a pleasure getting to know him through this release!
