I tried this and failed miserably, and she laughed and let me know this was going to be difficult for me later when I had to question her about the murder. If you choose to talk to the woman standing just outside, you can try to talk normally, or might have the idea to try and seduce her. (I never did figure out how to recover it, and spent the entire play session running around in one shoe and one sock.)Īfter dressing, you can leave your hotel room and explore a little more. If you choose to investigate further, you may discover that this is because you apparently threw it through the window onto an inaccessible balcony.
You’re in your underwear, your tie is hanging from the ceiling fan, pants, shirt and coat are strewn around the room, and you can only find one shoe. You can choose to prolong the effects of the self-induced haze by choosing the appropriate dialogue options, but eventually you wake up and have to take stock of your surroundings.
The developers told me they wanted to allow more meaningful interactions with the world than just shooting everything in sight, and in my opinion they succeeded admirably. I got a strong feel of tabletop mechanics while playing as well, but we’ll get into that a little later.
It’s not exactly isometric like those older CRPGs, but the perspective is similar, and that’s quite intentional. One of the developers told me his mind was blown when he saw a Friedrich Nietzsche quote during that game’s introduction, and Disco Elysium borrows this idea. Disco Elysium is meant to be an introduction to this universe.Īs for the game itself, it’s heavily inspired by late ’90s computer RPGs like Baldur’s Gate. The world of Elysium is the game’s setting, and the developers told me they intend to create more games in this space. Disco Elysium does contain some music from the 1970’s, but the Disco part of the title has more to do with discovery than afros, leisure suits, and bell bottoms.
