![]() Some are like Cuno, a speed-addicted kid with a dirty mouth and a hobby of throwing rocks at corpses, while others are like Evrart Claire, the leader of the local dock workers union who is playing everybody around him for his own profit. The environments of Martinaise are lovely, painting the picture of a place that is almost entirely populated by people who are down on their luck and coping with that existence in whatever way they can. Not only do you have to do your job and solve the murder case, you also have to figure out who you are and eventually choose a side in this growing conflict that could potentially engulf Martinaise in all out war. What follows is a rabbit hole of a case centered around a dock workers strike, and the potentially criminal schemes forming on both sides of the issue. You learn that you are in the city of Revachol, specifically the run down district of Martinaise, assigned to investigate a murder alongside your partner from another jurisdiction, Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi. As you slowly pull yourself together and get dressed, you quickly learn that you’re not just some dude with amnesia you are actually a police detective with amnesia. In fact you don’t remember anything! Not your name, not your job, nor where you are: you are suffering from complete and total amnesia. At least you think it’s a hangover you don’t actually remember what you did last night. However, the game is well worth all the praise it received back in the day, though its debut on Switch has a few problem areas you may need to look out for if you decide to make it your platform of choice.ĭisco Elysium’s story begins with you waking up naked and feeling a severe hangover from the night before. Disco Elysium is an isometric RPG with a focus on narrative and interactions rather than combat, which is a concept that could easily have been boring. Even without that experience, it’s kind of hard not to have noticed the heaping piles of praise that were being thrown on Disco Elysium back when it first released in 2019, and even harder not to be incredibly curious why. I ran a campaign one time that still hasn’t finished, and this goes doubly for the games that have been heavily built on their foundations. I honestly don’t have much experience with tabletop RPGs.
