Spoke to some friends about this game right after I'd just wrapped up my first playthrough. I don't think this is a game I'll ever stop thinking about.

It's dense. It casts a wide net on what it talks about and all it portrays. Addiction. Paying for poverty. Wounds. Disco. Love.

"I don’t know how to properly put this into words, but the only word I can think of when I think of disco Elysium is just love."

It's an autopsy on love.

Its examination is largely clinical, accompanied with the sterility and blunt precision of a medical professional. There is no tidying things up. No saving face. No euphemisms. It will manage to dig into many different parts of you and tell you what it sees. Your politics, habits, your engagement with others. It will find your mistakes and put them under a magnifying glass for far longer than you think is necessary.

It does all this because it loves you, and it doesn't want you to give up on that.

@mayaheemayahoo in broad strokes, you're a detective tasked with solving a murder mystery, only that you end up forgetting everything about your entire life before you start the investigation
