Yikes. What a precipitous fall that studio has taken... This sounds antithetical to the most abject degree. The majority of people that spend time playing mobile games and brain-rotting their way through tiktok are more likely than not just going to swipe their way through the dialogue options and just walk around revachol until they are exasperated by all the reading.

The studio is dead, practically all members split up in typical leftist infighting fashion. The remnants of what was left can be thought of as nothing more than a passing capitalist nightmare.

yup. the right wing adjacent studio bosses chased off everyone who made the game special. the groups working on spiritual successors though all seem to wish each other success

Fuck off already you soulless corporate vultures. Go die in a fire and give the IP back to its rightful owners.

captivate the tiktok user

That's a low bar...

Probably means it will be under 2 minutes and every voiceover will have subway surfer being played in the background

As if we needed more proof that the company that owns DE is absolute trash.

Hey I've been wanting to play Disco Elysium, now I'll be able to play the diluted and rotten version of it. I hope it comes with Subway Surfers gameplay on the lower half of the screen!

It's an amazing game. Definitely go for it.

It's like nothing I've played before. Closest match would be probably old Planescape Torment. Not that it's vastly similar in gameplay, but more like novel style writing, deep lore, focus on narrative instead of action, ... Both games are long, slow paced and both make you think. Highly recommend!
