I know I’m late to the game, I’ve been catching up on games but this is game is a fucking triumph. as a developer I can’t even wrap my head around the number of dialogue trees it must have
TOMMY LE HOMME - "I am a gander and a hunter and a gatherer, feel like a traveller..." The man mutters to himself, accenting the beats as he goes.
YOU - Keep Listening
TOMMY LE HOMME - "From another planet," he finishes and turns to you: "Hey there."
YOU - "I am the law."
TOMMY LE HOMME - "You sure are, my man." He nods emphatically.
It wasn't until I'd nearly finished it that I realized there must be reams and reams somewhere of relentless intrusive thoughts for the skills I DIDN'T have. When a friend told me he had a hard time connecting with other characters. He didn't have Empathy popping in before every dialogue option to tell him exactly what the other person wanted to hear. I did.
Just finished it recently. There are very few games that make me want to immediately play through it again, but Disco hit me right there. Having your skills be aspects of your personality that talk in your head is such a unique idea, and the amount if effort that must have went into it is stunning
I love it, but I never want to play it again honestly. I tried a second playthrough, but got bored. I think DE is best on the first playthrough, because you don't know anything, which makes you as the player experience the same lack of knowledge as the detective.
CONCEPTUALIZATION -- The paintbrush in your hand is like a loaded revolver. What will it be, desperado? Quite a few things come to mind...
YOU -- "FUCK THE POLICE"
KIM KITSURAGI -- The lieutenant looks at the wall in dismay:
"But we *are* the police."
i just wish there was a dialogue option to try to explain irony to kim
Hell yeah it is. Also I can proudly say I did not know it had the chapo hosts in it until I saw their names in the credits.
I mean a true leftist would never have even recognized their names, but I'm doing my best
I knew they were in the game, but I didn't recognize Matt as Titus at all. He's a pretty decent voice actor
Wait until the end. You’ll feel like the biggest fucking lib on the planet.
I literally cried at the end.

i love how if you're playing as a communist the guy fucking calls you out on being a useless larper
he saw a revolutionary moment come and go and dealt with the fallout. and now you're running around yelling vaguely leftist shit that your useless brain probably doesn't even understand and acting like that makes the two of you even
Can't wait for it to come out on Switch! Or Linux I guess but Switch is supposed to be soonish.
Weird timing, I just started playing recently too. I took the smart guy route but I keep thinking I wanna start over from the perspective of the empath. Great game, dialogue and Kim really are something else
twice now i have almost bought it and immediately think of all the other games i have sitting in my library, money, etc. i'm seriously going to be so late to it when i finally play it and love in like 3 years from now
I know right. Apparantly the script is around 1'000'000 words long. And it's all built on Unity.
