[SPOILERS] General questions after finishing the game

[Stirling]

Hey, I've been waiting for Norco for a few years at least and it was excellent pretty much from start to end. The ending, however, leaves some questions unanswered, and I'm not sure if the ambiguity is satisfying or no. I saw roboticgeo responds to most threads so I'm curious if there was an intent for there to be explanations for the ending and the paranatural things you see throughout the game.

Mainly: What is the nature of the orb and how much of the christian narrative pawpaw follows is true? Is he, in the end, just a delusional old man that has been stalking this family for decades and committed atrocities and manipulation to enact a doomed plot?
I want to say Pawpaw just constructed a fiction, since it seems the rocket collapses, but then what's up with the orb, what was the St. Claires's stake in this whole standoff? And how much of Superduck's existence is meant to be cyberfuturistic and how much supernatural (I can buy an escaped brainscan-AI manipulating people into serving its goals, but it seems to somehow have control over biological life and mutates animals?

I know this is a chaotic scramble of questions, and to be clear the game is firmly a positive experience regardless of them being answered. I'm mainly interested in knowing whether the writers even had an answer in mind for these.

Would also love to see this doc! It's been a while since I've experienced something that makes me want to dig into the backstory and inspiration/reference material as much as this.

[Cliché Poser]

I would like a link to the doc as well, just beat the game on gamepass and want to read more it

[montatatana]

Would also like to see the doc. Thanks.

[Phazzy]

I would also love to read the doc. Thank you so much for the game, and for making me ugly cry at the end

[Hasemano]

Add me to that list too please. Thanks so much for developing this engrossing game!

I'd love to see the doc too. This game was so engrossing, just finished it today and I can't stop thinking about it. It's really cool of you devs to be interacting with us like this. Great job all around.

I just finished the game on gamepass and I'm interested in the doc too : )

[Idawala]

Hey, just finished the game a few days ago on Game Pass.

Loved the setting, I felt like I knew the place.

Can I have the lore file as well? Dying for some answers.

Hello! I finished the game today and am feeling pretty blown away. Amazed to find a game with so much depth and research behind it and such well-delivered emotional impact PLUS an extremely long story about a guy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ himself. The misery, the hope, the cold corporate greed, the high-minded ideals, all alongside day to day filth and absurdity, it's like looking at reality through a hyper-exaggerated lens and I loved every minute of it.

My friend runs a video game book club and we'll be discussing Norco next week, and I'd love to read the document and share it with the rest of the club too, if that's ok by the devs.

Thanks in advance and thanks for all the love and effort that went into the game

Hey Deer Animal!
First of all, thank you for this game. I JUST finished it, and although I have my own reading of it, I feel like some references flew over my head - would love to get a look at the document you've prepared!
