I'm wondering myself what "content" some of these "creators" on these here forums make to warrant advanced copies.

I'm not sure how to use the ammonia to mask the smell of the rotting corpse. What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to use the item.

It’s enough to have it in your inventory. It just doesn’t work very well. Not a bug, meant that way. Basically getting the ammonia just gives you a free reroll.

About the days and nonlinearity: game time advances when you do stuff, and background events happen with game time. Quests advance regardless of game time based on what you did, so nothing gets reset when you sleep, consequences certainly carry over.

There’s also a LOT more to do in the starter area than you can fit into a single day, so if you do a few playthroughs of the review demo you can make them all different.

The game is good. I had to force myself to stop playing to get some sleep. Junta, would you say the game has the best writing of any rpg you've ever seen?

Well, it makes sent to me why Prime Junta has a preview demo, because he actually wrote a preview for the game. He has a history it with it. Same if Tigranes had one.

I see Prime Junta still didn't figure out that his relentless obnoxious shilling is exactly what caused half of the Codex to have allergic reaction to any mention of this game and that it's exactly because of him that keyboards are warming up to nitpick every tiny flaw it will have.

I’ve also been peripherally involved with the development (pro bono, no shekels involved). I went there to give a workshop about how to get software done. Later I was a kind of agony aunt they could call when they had little (and sometimes not so little) bumps on the road. They told me it helped and kept doing it so maybe it did.

In any case this thing has been a genuine labour of love and passion for them and has been superhumanly hard. I never for a moment doubted them however, the fires of Prometheus burn that bright.

I’ll ask them how much of it they’re OK with me talking about and then maybe say something more about it here.

But in any case, that’s also why I can’t review it. I’m too invested.

It's got some stuff in common with Tides. Be honest. It is a bit better though, the detective angle is really unique and well developed.

Good that nobody else is hyping up games on the codex and we can rely on objective reporting all around

I have to state at this point that I have been very very disappointed in Infinitron viz Disco Elysium. Practically NO shilling at all until this final embarrassed scramble after they announced the release date.
