Anyone knows any games like Disco Elysium? I don't expect them to be as high quality and fleshed out since DE is an extreme outlier.

Disco-like in what aspects? Mostly I was looking for dialogue-heavy good writing that is funny. Less to no emphasis on combat. Disco Elysium is easily the funniest game I have ever played and I don't think it will be beaten ever.

I found an under-development game called Esoteric Ebb which has a demo on Steam. It is a bit rough around the edges but the writing is alright even though I don't really like stuff set in DnD universe.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank.

    No, it's worse than that. Those old-school games came with cheat codes, and almost everyone beat their favorite old-school games with cheat codes. That or using Game Genie. A 6-year old is not going to beat Super Metroid or Doom by themselves. "Games were harder back then." Yeah, and you beat those games with enough cheat codes that a 6-year could beat them.
