This month, we delve deep into the surreal and thought-provoking world of Disco Elysium. Developed by ZA/UM and released in 2019, this narrative-driven RPG puts players in the shoes of a deeply flawed detective navigating a city rife with political tension, personal demons, and existential crises. With a unique blend of noir aesthetics and psychological depth, Disco Elysium challenges players to solve a murder while grappling with the protagonist's fractured psyche.
