I feel craving, I need something new about Disco Elysium!
Looks like I understand feelings of those fan-girls of Beatles...

Serious article about Disco Elysium: https://www.greenmangaming.com/blog/will-disco-elysium-finally-move-rpgs-to-the-next-level/

Disco Elysium is looking to be something utterly special, it’s an RPG that actually uses the R for once. You’re playing a role, and you define that role through your interactions with the world and yourself. The start of the game which was playable at Rezzed was astounding, and easily was something that an hour or more could be sunk into without noticing. It’s one to keep your eye on, and it’s coming later in 2018.

For fuck's sake Infinitron VentilatorOfDoom or whoever has access to the front page post something there already, this is embarrassing

Yeah, I'm starting to ask myself what the fuck is going on and why I see no shit about Disco Elysium on front page.

Lots of people played the game, everybody liked it and I even managed to convert several RPG-sceptics.

A few of the players wrote about their experience. Here’s one writeup by Alex McHugh.

Disco Elysium (formerly No Truce with the Furies) is a semi-futuristic/fantasy alternate-world neo-noir RPG about ideas and about solving crimes. It’s a game where your character’s mind is as important as your character’s actions, it’s a game where your character’s perception of events is called into question throughout, and it’s a game that feels fresh and exciting in a way that RPGs haven’t for a while.

Follow the link for more. The writeup is solid enough and descriptive enpugh to give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the game.

Look! There’s MORE.
While waiting for a station to free up at the Disco Elysium booth I got chatting to one of the developers. Shortly into our conversation, he compared the game to a cross between classic RPG title Baldur’s Gate and the gritty detective TV show True Detective. At first, well, I was a little confused about what he meant, not to mention the fact that I thought it was a very bold statement. However, although it was a bold statement it was also a true statement, Disco Elysium is one of the most unique games I’ve ever played.

Am I the only one here tonight? Here’s EUROGAMER’s best of the show list: LINK

Previously known as No Truce with the Furies, Disco Elysium begins with an argument between the player and your character's reptilian brain about whether to wake up or die in your sleep. I'm honestly not sure what to add, other than that this game very much isn't a) the gamboling nostalgia fest the title might lead you to expect, or b) your average spin on "golden age" CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and Fallout.

No, the game itself does not :( But if I’m there hovering over you shoulder while you’re playing I’ll definitely whisper it in your ear every few minutes.

Edit: I should point out that on the showfloor we threw around a bunch of names to give momentarily idling passersby a quick idea of what this odd Eastern European videogame debut might be about.
