Disco Elysium Review

This week the ladies talk about Disco Elysium, which was made by ZA/UM and originally released in 2019. The Final Cut version of the game recently came to consoles (so far just Playstation, but Xbox in the future), and now has more voice acting. In this RPG, you play a detective trying to investigate a murder and figure out who you are, all while listening to the many voices in your head. We discuss inland empire, listening to your limbic system, political theory, deadly chairs, cones of nothing and save scumming.
