Abnormal Mapping 136: Norco

We ring in our ninth anniversary with a new-ish game, the
dystopian magical realism adventure game Norco! There’s plenty of
navel gazing about life, podcasts, gaming, and capitalism to be
had, that heady Abnormal Mapping special brew, as we bring you
this super-sized episode. Honestly, there isn’t much to say, this
game just rips and people should play it. Here’s to many more
years of podcasts!


Send us questions about our game clubs, other games, or gaming in
general to abnormalmappingpodcast@gmail.com!
