Disco Elysium is a blend of isometric RPG and hard-boiled cop show set in a unique urban fantasy world.What kind of cop are you? Good cop? Bad cop? Utter failure? That is the question explored in Disco Elysium.
You play a disgraced lieutenant detective in Revachol West, a shore town where corruption’s out of control, murders go unsolved, and the kids just wanna dance. Kick in doors, interrogate suspects, or get lost exploring a gorgeously rendered city and unraveling its mysteries. All the while, tensions rise around you as Revachol threatens to explode.
Disco Elysium’s completely original skill system makes your innermost feelings, doubts, and memories an integral part of every conversation. Level up your rational faculties, sharpen your wits, or give in to your basest instincts. What kind of cop you are is up to you.
In a recent podcast interview with BBC, ZA/UM Art Director Aleksander Rostov revealed that Disco Elysium will be coming to nintendo Switch as well.
