I could say a lot about this game. You play as the world's drunkest driver, saddest detective, most pathetic human being. The people around you are mostly broken beyond repair, there's little hope left for anyone or anything. The writing is nice, perhaps even experimental, poetic in the most profound, primitive sense.

I could go on but I think I could never say enough so here's that: I will never forget about my experience with the game. At its core, I believe Disco Elysium is a game about the avatar of a crumbling city, about hope in weird places and, most of all, about the human spirit. About connections between us, some gentle, kind, in spite of a decaying society, others more visceral.

This RPG is a piece of art in motion and it confronted me with some of the darkest parts of myself.
