What players say
A very well written gem with an interesting art style that I came to really appreciate. My only criticism is that NORCO's ending is quite abrupt and leaves many questions unanswered, and not the usual "left to the player's interpretation" sort of way, it just ends. Otherwise it's a great game, Pawpaw was my favourite.
I love this game. I won't lie, I'm the type of person to have games in my library for long stretches of time. This is one of the titles I played the demo, got the game on sale, and it did linger there for a while. I feel bad about that but also for personal reasons I won't specify here, this year, this time in my life was the perfect time to play it. It's a heartfelt, soulful look at life, the mysteries beyond life...
can't really write a real review for it as i would for any other game because describing the gameplay, the art, the story -- i don't know, it feels kind of redundant. but something about it and its themes resonated quite deeply with me, easily making it one of my favourite games
