SHIVERS - The road ascends; a raised motorway loops above the ghetto. Beneath its concrete columns - a sea of rooftops, woodwork, and tar stretches northward. Four-story buildings as far as the rain can fall. The snow melts in Jamrock
YOU - What is Jamrock?
SHIVERS - Revachol is the capital of the world. Jamrock is the capital of Revachol. Droplets form on your eyelashes
INLAND EMPIRE - It's home
YOU - Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
SHIVERS - HAVE A BROTHER IN THE CUT, WHERE THE WOOD AT?
Ahh I hear the music, i can feel the ambience like a sheen of sticky sweat the night after binging on cheap booze
truly an excellent soundtrack. check out British Sea Power if you liked the music, they have some extended versions of the tracks used ingame.
Check out this hidden little nugget:
"Leslie will always take his pants off when he's drunk. Burke will always trash everything. It's just what they do. It is their nature - you cannot change the nature of a man. And you can't lock them away, because public indecency and small scale property damage are not punishable by incarceration."
the game this reminded me so much of is Planescape Torment
That's intentional.

Inspired by Infinity Engine–era role-playing games, particularly Planescape: Torment, Disco Elysium was written and designed by Karelian-Estonian novelist Robert Kurvitz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Elysium#:~:text=Disco%20Elysium%20is%20a%20role,and%20published%20by%20ZA%2FUM.&text=Inspired%20by%20Infinity%20Engine%E2%80%93era,Karelian%2DEstonian%20novelist%20Robert%20Kurvitz.
"You keep saying things like down with the bourgeoisie, eat the rich, sodomise the land-owners, impale all people who have more than 25 reál in their pocket, literally murder all human beings regardless of their political beliefs -- that kind of stuff."
also a small detail I overlooked the first time I played it: your clothing comes with little reasons for the stat de/buffs, just like your thoughts. Nice color that's easy to miss.
