Disco Elysium is a groundbreaking role playing game. You’re a detective with a unique skill system at your disposal and a whole city block to carve your path across. Interrogate unforgettable characters, crack murders or take bribes. Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being.

Just thought I'd share. It's a really fun game. I've done two play throughs already. It's very text heavy though but unique and worth trying out if you wanna be a drunken disco communist cop going through a massive identity crisis.

edit: the only advice i want to give people who are going to play is don't savescum IMO. Sometimes failed rolls can lead to some really funny moments. You really aren't supposed to "win" at every dice roll, but play the game how you enjoy it. I just found myself early on trying to win those dice rolls when in the grand scheme of things, it isn't necessary at all like it can be in similar RPG games. Also don't put only 1 point into physique (it's like health) on your first playthrough, you will end up dying in the most absurdly bad ways and after the charm wears off you will end up getting frustrated most likely.

edit 2: it's also on gog (same price) https://www.gog.com/game/disco_elysium?pp=a93c168323147d1135503939396cac628dc194c5 and the Epic store

    yeah it's much better than it sounds. Basically you are a cop but it's a bit more complicated than just being a cop. It also is not in anyway pro cop at all. They did a fantastic job with it.

    also i'd like to mention you don't HAVE to be communist but that was part of the fun for me at least. You could be a fascist if you want lmfao or an ultra liberal. The dialogue options are much better as a communist, it touches on theory quite a bit.

      I was trying to humor some big fucking nazi to try to manipulate him into going away, and now my character screen says basically "oh and you're just a little bit of a fascist" FUCK
