Norco is a point and click adventure game that sets players on a journey through a warped, dystopian version of Norco, Louisiana. The story follows a young woman named Kay returning home after her mother's passing. There are also parts of the game where the player controls Kay's mother Catherine in extended flashback sequences. Catherine can acquire many different phone cases for her smartphone throughout the game with achievements tied to the hidden ones. Follow this guide to find the secret alligator themed phone case and acquire the Gatorcase Achievement. Players can find this phone case early on during Act 1.2.
Go to the Overpass
When players first gain control of Catherine they have limited areas to travel to. Visit the overpass to see the puppet show theater being set up. The player needs to set some events in motion to start the puppet show.
Examine the Curious Duck
Catherine needs to go to the French Quarter and knock on the door of the Curious Duck gift shop. She'll realize the door is locked.
Speak to the Hot Dog Vendor
The nearby hot dog vendor will tell Catherine about a secret knock that can get her into the Curious Duck. He'll only tell her what it is if she can send some customers his way to buy some hot dogs.
Talk to the Showgoer
Head back to the overpass and a crowd will be gathered around ready for the show to start. Tell the showgoer about the hotdog stand and he'll check it out after the show.
Start the Show
Simply click on the curtains to begin the show. It tells the tragic story of a fisherman losing his son to a pet alligator.
Use the Boat to Find the Fisherman's Memorial
The show will transform into a map of the swamps with the player in control of a boat. It's important to be careful while navigating the swamp as there is a damage bar that can fill up from crashing against land. The screen will also darken more as the boat goes faster. If the boat is completely damaged the show will end. Players can explore the swamp and find points that further the puppet show's story.
There is a cove tucked in the northwestern corner of the swamp. Go there to find a cross and some items the fisherman placed in memory of his son.
Sift Through the Objects to Find the Case
Catherine needs to observe the memorial. She will then be given the choice to sift through objects. Doing so will put the alligator phone case in her inventory and give the player the gatorcase achievement.
Norco is available on PC, macOS, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
