(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It’s on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.

def Disco Elysium
heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards
it’s also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn’t shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn’t spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it’s also one of the most hopeful games I’ve ever played at the same time
I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scumming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-
The only things I save scummed were getting Kim to dance and trying to open that bunker door. No regrets.
understandable, have a nice day
Thanks for the warning. This has been on my wishlist for a while now, and I very likely would have done exactly that.

100% this.
For me I got so immersed in the world and character that it didn’t even occur to me to save scum. This RPG is so good that I actually felt like I was living the story. The only game that ever managed to accomplish that.
I’ve owned this game for years. And I want to love it, but I’ve never been able to make it past the dude hanging in the tree part. Which is basically the very start of the game 😄
just FYI: you can finish the game without ever as much as looking at the body, there even is an achievement for it!
I couldn’t get into it
I’ve been staring at python for too long. I read your comment like it was a function
def Disco_Elysium(): raise Warning("there is no going back")this kinda made my morning. Thx ^w^
Just bought it, going to give it a try tomorrow.
Hope you did it on Steam. 75% off so $10
I buy all my games on Steam. It’s simply the best, and they support Linux and develop Proton.
Sad story about buying this one, though: https://youtu.be/k7Xu4GvpN9U
Yea, I heard. I tried to pirate it and run it from steam as a non-Steam game, but it didn’t work ):
uuu you are in for an adventure with so much replayability
and as some other comment said: even “failed” checks lead to interesting outcomes
I’m especially interested in the fact that the game is from a Marxist perspective.
My blind playthrough was great, despite or even due to mistakes made. Lost once playing sport so badly it destoyed my self-esteem, but also won a miracle 5% perception roll right at the end (although we scared it away). On my first playthrough I intentionally tried to avoid losing and I played conservatively enough for the game to start bullying me over it, which is great design.
I’m the kind of person who thinks it’s hilarious how fragile the player can be where (esp. because of the class I picked). The cursed chair didn’t get me but it sure made me laugh.
