    Game comes out on March 3 and has a fairly sizable demo available out right now. And the save file will carry to the full game.

    It’s fairly obviously super inspired by Disco (there are even 1-1 analogs like a wall painting you can talk to) it is very fun and has a charming silliness to it. I’d highly recommend it.

      If you want to support the game, consider adding it to your wishlist if you haven’t already. It makes a huge difference to how much algorithm visibility the game gets on launch

        Tbh I wishlisted as soon as I saw it on Steam. A dnd disco elysium is not something I thought I’d ever see and I’m doubly excited for it because I can’t bring myself to play zaum’s new game after they essentially robbed the ip for disco from the creators.

      Agreed, 100%! The demo had me hooked in the first five minutes, and I’ve been cautiously optimistic ever since. Can’t wait! 😍

    I’ve played the demo and I live what I’ve seen there. I’m really excited for the full launch.

      If you want to support the game, consider adding it to your wishlist if you haven’t already. It makes a huge difference to how much algorithm visibility the game gets on launch. (I think this is still beneficial, even if you’ve already installed the demo)

    EDIT: Excellent demo, this is going to be an instant buy for me. :)

    Thanks for sharing! Taking a look at the demo now, Disco Elysium was awesome when I first played it back before they had everything fully voiced.

    I really need to go through it again at some point…

        No problem at all! I added it immediately after I looked at some of the images on the store page! B)

        I’m about to play the demo right now to see what’s cooked up so far! Cheers! :)
