DE is fantastically well written, equal parts emotional and hilarious depending how you play and one of my all time favorite games. Big recommend

Disco Elysium is 90% off. $54.49 $4.54 (that’s in Canadian, not sure about the US price exactly.)
I honestly couldn’t even tell you what it’s about, but it’s one of my favourite games ever. You can die from reading a book that’s too sad and if you do it right, you can smell communism.

Incredible game that can be a little jarring for people who are probably expecting something like Baldur’s Gate 1&2, Fallout 1&2, or some other kind of isometric killfest RPG. It essentially turns the dialogue into 90% of the game, but the dialogue is so damn good that it doesn’t matter.
It also takes getting used to damage, as sometimes you can “die” in seemingly random ways. I was on a rooftop, I think trying to reach for a scarf or something, and failed my roll. That caused me to apparently get so depressed that I lost the game. I can’t remember which stat/trait it was but I think there’s a morale or mental trait you have to watch out for too.
Pirate this game if you wanna give it a try, don’t ever buy it. This is what the developers have actually advocated for and it actually fits right in with parts of the game itself.

I got a game over because I sat in an uncomfortable chair.

I really wanted to like this one but I just can’t handle being as much of a fuckup as this game will inevitably make you.

The ending makes it all up. It’s like a slow, painful crawl back to the surface.

Disco Elysium is always free, the devs for fucked and won’t get a cent from sales, everyone should pirate the game.
