[Spoilers] Please play in full, yourself, with sincerity first.
Disco elysium is not a detective RPG - that is it's mask. It is the medicine for those in pain of the modern-day nihilistic mindset. It is a one-of-a-kind video game experience of the impossible beauty and hope within a very broken world. It connects deeply with your soul and attempts to, and usually will if you let it, fix you. It shows, without directly telling you, that not all is lost for you; That people are far more than what they show on the surface, that possibilities are endless but most importantly, that if this Harrier Du Bois in this world of Elysium can have the willpower and the hope to continue, so can YOU.
This is what story-based games should be but very few can.
