Review: “Norco” might be mired in the supernatural, but its villain’s corporate face is all too realistic.

The week I started playing “Norco,” I got the urge to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 album “Born in the USA.” My favorite track from it,describes someone going to — or dreaming of — his lover behind her partner’s back. It takes the feeling of burning up with lust and agitation to a sonic and lyrical extreme. Love has savaged him. Bruce can barely keep his body together.

You spend much of the game in flashbacks with Catherine, Kay’s mother, who, before her death, was sinking into medical debt and trying unsuccessfully to reconnect with her child. Catherine’s story reminded me of gig work games like “Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor” and “Neo Cab,” where large portions of time are spent achieving almost nothing, where you earn just enough money to keep your head above water and then immediately have to spend it to survive.
