Luke and Alex Talk Disco Elysium

This month, we delve deep into the surreal and thought-provoking world of Disco Elysium. Developed by ZA/UM and released in 2019, this narrative-driven RPG puts players in the shoes of a deeply flawed detective navigating a city rife with political tension, personal demons, and existential crises. With a unique blend of noir aesthetics and psychological depth, Disco Elysium challenges players to solve a murder while grappling with the protagonist's fractured psyche.

Both Alex and Luke rolled the credits on this complex journey. Luke experienced the game on his Steam Deck, while Alex split his time between his Steam Deck and PC. The game boasts a Metacritic score of 91 on PC, praised for its narrative depth and freedom of choice. With around 30 hours needed to complete the main story, it’s a substantial dive into a richly detailed world.

Join us as we dissect the narrative layers, discuss our favorite moments, and ponder the philosophical questions posed by Disco Elysium. Whether you're a seasoned detective or new to the streets of Revachol, this episode offers a comprehensive look at one of the most acclaimed RPGs of our time.

Step into the eerie world of Deadeus, a unique horror game developed for the Game Boy by -IZMA-. This haunting title, originally released in 2019, immerses players in a dark narrative where a young boy has a prophetic nightmare that everyone in his village will die in three days. With 11 different endings and no direct path, players must explore, investigate, and decide the best course of action to potentially save the villagers or uncover deeper mysteries.

Deadeus stands out for its chilling atmosphere and intricate storytelling, all crafted within the constraints of classic Game Boy hardware. It showcases the power of pixel art and minimalist design to deliver a profoundly unsettling experience. Featuring music by Stuart Busby, the game’s soundscape adds an extra layer of tension to the gripping narrative.

Alex played Deadeus on his Analogue Pocket, embracing the physical cartridge experience, while Luke explored the game through a ROM on his Steam Deck. Both hosts experienced the game’s unique horror elements and discussed how it masterfully leverages its retro platform to deliver modern chills.

Join us as we delve into Deadeus’ complex storylines, explore its multiple endings, and discuss the game’s impact on the indie horror scene. If you’re a fan of retro gaming or looking for a fresh horror experience, Deadeus is a must-play.
