Disco Elysium is a role-playing game developed and published by ZA/UM. It is set in the fictional city of Revachol, where players assume the role of an amnesiac detective investigating a murder case. The game emphasises dialogue and skill-based choices, with character attributes represented by internal voices that influence decisions and interactions. Its narrative explores themes of politics, philosophy, and personal identity, and it is known for its unconventional gameplay and deep storytelling.
In the impoverished district of Martinaise within the city of Revachol, a detective wakes up in a trashed hostel room with no memory of who he is. A severe hangover and what appears to be drug-induced amnesia have erased his identity entirely. He is met by Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi, who informs him they have been assigned to investigate the death of a man found hanged in an empty lot behind the hostel. The victim's identity is unclear, and the scene suggests he was lynched by a group. As the amnesiac detective and his partner explore the district, following leads and helping residents, the detective gradually learns he is Harrier ""Harry"" Du Bois, a decorated officer of the Revachol Citizens Militia. Something broke in him years ago, triggering a catastrophic spiral that culminated in a three-day drinking binge around Martinaise just before the case began. Now he must piece together both the murder and himself, navigating the political tensions of a city still under foreign occupation decades after a failed communist revolution, while the union dockworkers' strike and a squad of rogue mercenaries threaten to engulf Martinaise in violence.

95% of the game is dialogue with other npcs and yourself. So if you don't want to read for 30+ hours this is not the game for you. There is absolutely no combat. The RPG aspect is that you can level up different aspects of yourself like logic, reaction time, composure, endurance, etc. and as those skills come up in conversation you are having not only dialogue with the npcs but also yourself on how to proceed. It is very unique, and very awesome if you are into it. One of the most unique, thought provoking games I've ever played.
Disco Elysium is one of the best games I've ever played. It's an RPG, but it's a very different one, with no combat and heavy focus on skill checks. It's also a detective story, that feels amazing to slowly unravel until you finally solve the case. If you want to try it, I'll give you three advices: - Don't look for spoilers, be a real detective. - Don't metagame or reload if you fail a check, live with the consequences of your choices. - Don't skip text. If you are tired of reading, stop and play again another day. While Disco Elysium has some replay value, it's all about the first playthrough. Don't spoil it and enjoy the ride.
First off: The corpos running ZA/UM, the studio that made this game, have basically gotten rid of half the driving creative forces behind this game and our now just holding the rights hostage. So if there was ever a reason to sail the seven seas or check out dubious keysellers, this is it. No money you spend on this game will reach the people who actually deserve it. Do with this information what you want. On the positive side the devs that left are starting new studios that you might want to check out if you enjoyed this game and want more like it. Those studios are named Longdue, Dark Math Games and Summer Eternal ------------------------------------------------ 10/10 This game is an absolute masterpiece, the worldbuilding and the characters are just so good. 95% of what you do in this game is dialogue and i was never bored by it. Every character in this game is addicting to talk t
DO NOT PAY FOR THIS GAME! It has been STOLEN from its original creators by the evil corporate owner ZA/UM, who is the publisher here on Steam! While I highly recommend this game, obtain it from anywhere else except official means. I bought it while it was on sale, but even then, I now regret giving even a cent to this disgusting company who has screwed over the creatives who worked so hard on Disco Elysium. Disco Elysium is a genuine work of art, one which you can tell was lovingly and thoughtfully developed. It is one of the very few video games out there that has made me cry multiple times mid-playthrough. It is profound, somber, and wickedly funny all at once. I cannot recall another game, other than a few moments from the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy, that has managed to make me belly-laugh after crying, and vice versa. A sense of melancholy permeates through every moment, soa
you can spend the entire game saying the most communist thing possible in every single dialogue, read communist books, show sympathy for the revolution, etc. and when you finally meet the most communist person in the game he just calls you a liberal
