I'm going to warn now, this game features the use of (censored) homophobic slurs, as well as depictions of racism and mentions of rape (both real and in the form of false threats). I might relax that policy in the future, but for now, just don’t. This game’s still pretty new, so I’m gonna ask that we not get too deep into spoilers. I’ll try to show off some alternate decisions, but seeing everything is impossible due to the sheer scale. Now, the problem with LPing this game is that it’s absolutely massive and incredibly modular, with tons of writing that will change based on your decisions. This is the part where I mention the game is incredibly funny, too.

These thoughts can be used to unlock dialogue options, pass skill checks, or just provide loads of flavor. Your thoughts can interact and bicker with each other, or just try to steer you along the right path. The more skill points you put into an aspect, the more often it will activate. but instead, your skills have the benefit of giving you more dialogue, in the form of various aspects of your personality. But what makes this game truly revolutionary is the way it simulates thought. Yes, drugs! Disco Elysium is a true role-playing game, one that allows the player to do pretty much whatever they want (within reason, of course, and often outside of reason as well). You can be whatever kind of cop you want-from fascist pig to sympathetic fascist pig! Wakka wakka amiriteįor real, though, the possibilities are enormous: preach laissez-faire capitalism! Sideline your investigation to sing karaoke! Do lots of druuuuuugs! Everything else, however, is up to the player.

Anyway, Disco Elysium puts you in the role of a detective trying to solve a murder. Disco Elysium is a revolutionary role-playing game from the fine folks at ZA/UM, written and designed by some European dude.ĮNCYCLOPEDIA: His name is Robert Kurvitz and he’s an Estonian novelist.
