Disco Furries -- there, I came up with a better title and it took me 2 sec.
it's funny that they've chosen first bad and then even a worse title, and if you consider that in addition the narrator really sucks ass. It's almost as if the have chosen a deliberate approach to market the game so that only the most devout followers will try it, as the game itself seems quite interesting.
EDIT: I urge you not to google 'disco furries'. Just don't do it man.

It's gonna haunt you, son, for the rest of your days. But you won't be alone. It's gonna haunt me too. (c)
Kasparov , A well-meaning codexer here. Let me give you a crash course in name generation, an art developed and honed to perfection by the greatest Mecca of entertainment until it became the Raqqa of entertainment - of course I'm talking about Hollywood.
You don't name your thing Disco Elysium. You name it Disco of Elysium. That signifies to the consumer that your product is full of something - in your case, of Elysium - and he already subconsciously wants to buy your container simply because it's a container full of something. That's how he has been conditioned. And he certainly doesn't care what it's full of. Something full of Elysium is almost like a container full of Matt Damon, and this is considered a good thing in the West.
A secondary option, yet equally, if not more effective would be if instead of an of, you add a colon. I don't mean as box art (though this will work as well!) but between the two words - Disco: Elysium. A number of succesful "RPG games" have already done this, and it has brought in sales totally incompatible with their quality as games. Imagine what it would do for you.
Consider this now, and thank me later.

You are so right! How could we forget about Call of Duty: Infinity Warfare, Planescape: Torment and Kentucky: Route of Zero - our principal influences.
Disco's of the Elysium: The Reckoning
There are more glaring examples of RPG game success: look at all the Assassin's Creed series of games - colons everywhere. Look at the RPG Codex GOTY2017!!
No: Truce of the Fruities

Codex is just very much into colons. Period.
still better than disco elysium
With the AssCreed series' Ubisoft's strategy was to start the AssCreed with lots of colons and then when people got accustomed to them, hit them with originality and go colonless for a few games.
You know what´s better than Disco Elysium?

Anything. Everything. I hope you guys at least gave your resident literary genius shit about the new title before giving in.

Do it and I'll buy two copies. Just won $12 on powerball, so you know I have the disposable income.

They probably asked for suggestions and started a poll on reddit or something like that.
Very inconsiderate of them if true.
