    this game was so fucking depressing and bleak and full of downer characters and sub stories i stopped playing after 4 hours.

    drama can be good. hardships make adventures exciting. but when the entire world is a hardship, I’d rather play something with more realistic variety.

      Maybe you should have kept on playing and you’d have noticed that the game is also funny as fuck…

        i have 4 hours on my steam account. not a single chuckle. that’s enough time for a laugh. you may jokes about bleak existences and situations but dark humor isn’t exactly mainstream and imo is pretty hard to pull off without feeling gross, which Disco Elysium did to me.

        also, i have seen more of the game via youtube than i have played. the game is not a comedy, just stop it.

          Hey, it’s cool if you didn’t like it. I just think there’s tons of hilarious things going on. The whole setting appears very bleak and surreal, but there’s some really funny things in the game. I think it’s a good balance to be honest.

          4 hours really doesn’t get you far. You don’t even get a feeling for the world in that little time. But you’ve watched YouTube videos on the game, so I guess it’s just not for you.

          I grew up with British humor, so it’s kind of weird to hear that dark humor isn’t mainstream, lol.
