[@Acrylescent]

This game dug into me. When I played my first play through I was a jaded disillusioned detective that was sick and tired of the system. Luckily not an alcoholic, but this game spoke to me very deeply and made me realize I was done with law enforcement. It had ripped my humanity from me, made me mentally ill, made me depressed and sick all the time. This game was a microcosm of my entire career. Over a decade of death and seeing people being ground up in the machine changed me for good, but this game gave me hope.

[@MythicFox]

I'm both glad and sad for you to have been so deeply affected -- glad that you were, sad for the reasons why. It's rare that any form of entertainment can speak to us so deeply, but whether positive or negative those are moments to be cherished. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and I'm sincerely cheering for you to hang onto that hope.

[@Acrylescent]

@@MythicFox thanks! I’ve replayed the game twice now and it’s still hitting me hard lol but I love it. It’s so cathartic to play something so relatable that gives you power over how it ends. But I’m medically retired now and doing so much better. Thank you for the kind words!

I'm 32 years old, I've been playing video games since I was a kid. From the moment I finished Disco Elysium I realised that I was in for something truly extraordinary, so much so that I have no words to describe the experience. It's the best game I've ever played, after a while I open the game, I walk around Revachol and I feel a strange sense of familiarity, I feel "at home". I grew to love all the characters, they are so well characterised that I came to understand them and above all I felt sympathy and pity for Harry.

Disco Elysium was an experience. I went into it with my apathetic gamer brain and it made me feel something. Even the small side stories were written with such empathy and sometimes crushed me in a very good way. The music captured and enhanced the atmosphere so well and I‘ll come back to this video again. I probably won’t replay the game any time soon because I feel like my story in Disco Elysium was told. It‘s not the kind of game in which I‘d want to unlock every ending.

[@cyberdiver7076]

Yeah even when I replayed it, I still chose the same path.

[@laurenbastin8849]

British Sea Power really knocked it out of the park with soundtrack for this game. Every song managed to be distinctive, an enjoyable listen and also a perfect match for the environment it plays in and the emotions it’s meant to inspire. Like Martinaise, and Revachol as a whole, there’s this somber feeling of failure and regret for long gone tragedies within the songs, but always some element of hope, of stubborn optimism glinting under the surface. Elysium is a world that it is utterly fucked, the Insulindic a continent permanently scarred by the failure of the communist dream that was so brutally put down, and yet even as you yourself struggle not to be swallowed by the void, finding comfort in oblivion over being confronted by your past mistakes or worse having to accept that they have happened and truly move on from them… there still remain characters, like Acele or Cindy, Steban, Egg Head, Noid and Andre, the youth of revachol, who are determined to make something new from this rubble of a world. As such I’ve always found it weird when people describe the game as nihilistic or cynical, because I really feel that the game at its core is a refutation of those ideas: everything is fucked, and we can’t undo history, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still forge a new future

[@kristapsmuravjovs7061]

Ok, I was about to eat, so I was looking for a video to watch, saw this playlist, remembered how incredible it and the game was (didn't finish it, so guess what I'm playing tonight), then read your comment and kinda teared up while listening to Instrument of surrender. I think you are absolutely right about the game and the soundtrack (thanks for the band name btw, they are utterly amazing). I personally associate them both primarily with my own experience - the soul-tearing existential woe of realising how limited our time here is, that there will be a last time with every single person (and pet :( ) I know and love, one way or another; with me failing myself and others; with my struggle to embrace much needed change and other personal inadequacies. But at the same time the game and especially the soundtrack remind me how absolutely, incredibly gorgeous existance on this planet is, how there is always a warm glimmer of love, hope and joy just for their own sake, both within and without. This bittersweet mixture of somber melacholy and joyful gratitude has always been somewhere on my mind, sometimes background, sometimes foreground, and I too both love and hate it, but if someone came to me and offered to magically remove this specific feeling from my mind, I would refuse without a second thought. Seeing the beauty in the smallest things and always having love in my heart is well worth the melancholy, I think. And now my damn soup is cold.

I've only played a little of DE, but the fact that it's 99.9% voice acted is AMAZING, considering the number of different choices you make, and how some games nowwa days have difficulty voicing their linear stories. DE is exactly the kinda media I find myself gravitating toward. Most media tends to dramatize itself, it exists solely as a form of entertainment, and it requires a suspension of disbelief, because you know Real people don't act like they do, but a RARE few act like real life. It's characters and settings don't exist to serve the plot, they exist because they might as well be real. You see these characters and places, and you don't Think they are fake, are a fiction, you think they are Real people and places. And the emotions. The emotions are words I had never seen or heard before, but somehow I always knew. I see shit like "Espirit de Corps", and I think, "What the fuck kinda emotion is that?" But it turns out it's something like commoraderie. The feeling and ability to understand your brothers and sisters in arms, to see their glance at you, and understand what you need to do, and, as it says; "...not only willing and able but obliged to take a bullet for your partner." All these emotions are important, either at a base level, a level so deep down it's just nature playing out, or at a higher functioning level, that lets you be More than an animal. What happened to Zaum Studio OÜ is horrible, and I can only hope fate sides with them, as they deserve.

Edition 2024: I forgot this message and here I am again. What a loop! Two years ago, this was just the beginning. Today, life has become even more difficult. It's as if I'm waiting for the next wave. I'm afraid of the next wave. I know I'll survive, and I can still see myself at the wheel of my car, with the sun and sea by my side, thinking of nothing, just dreaming. In reality, it's not a vision, I've already done it. I didn't know it at the time, I was just happy. I wish I was still here, dreaming. I've always been a dreamer. Back then, I thought I was just running away from life, and that it was a bad person because of that. But I was wrong. I don't care if the dreams didn't come true. Let me dream like I used to. It's better than crying. I'm an adult now, and I cry instead of dreaming.

Disco Elysium came to me at the right time. It brought up things I thought I was over, and some things I wasn't aware it looked like from the outside... I dont wanna go so far as to say it saved me, but wow did it help me put down the bottle.

[@orphaotheseeker2770]

By far the best gaming experience I've ever had, was Disco Elysium. Don't know when or even if I will ever replay it, the game was definitely an experience.

[@KeithR2002]

i hve competed 3/4 of the game (first run) , i dont want to go ahead with the game anymore. i want to live in my first time. because ik once it's over , it will never be like the first time. :( hands off , the best game i ever played. and in 35 years im adamant i can say that with confidence.

[@user-ei6vz3be8g]

News about corporate greed gutting ZA/UM makes me want to do illegal shit to amazon property (especially when we know that Disco Elysium was supposed to be just an introduction to the world, and originally just an intro sequence to a bigger game) I feel robbed of an irreplaceable experience

[@122josh]

This game is so so special I just started playing the final cut like a week a go and its just incredible the writing, the world, the music and the deep themes running through the game its just all so well realized its hard to believe this was ZA/UM's first game its a 10/10 experience so far.

[@skmo7072]

totally it's mind blowing

[@wurzzzz]

I love it and I hope that they make another adventure game. I would love if it shares the same setting (I think new characters or locale might actually benefit the writers though), but I would take anything created with as much love and passion as Disco Elysium.

[@engliships2126]

@@wurzzzz it looks like they are working on a sci fi game now, which sound incredibly exciting. I hope they call it "disco infinitum".

When "Off We Go Into The Wild Pale Yonder" plays, I get such a powerful thrum of emotion in my stomach, going up my throat, all throughout my body.. can't tell if I want to cry, throw up, or start anew. Thanks for uploading this wonderful playlist.

I had three tests and a paper last week. I got an extension on the paper and have been working on it for all of this week. Looping this has kept me sane. Many thanks

[@crt_head]

I'm listening to this, eating french fries and crying, but It is not sadness, I revel in it. It is pure joy, a rapture of emotion, an admiration for the deepness of the heart, the capacity for triumph in the darkest moments, a perfect feeling in an imperfect being, forelsket and saudade in one. I *feel* human.

Edit: forgot to say thank you for the upload, thank you for the upload, you. There are many, many great, hell, maybe even formative games I've played, but Disco Elysium really takes the cake, and the extentially-somber love that seeps through the soundtrack and how well it went with the general tone, and the incredible visual artstyle is a huge, huge part of why I love it so much. It felt like it was tugging on the deepest, most profound strings of my soul, and it did so gently and true, like it was my oldest, most beloved friend - who's embrace I long for, but whom I love too much to be impatient with as they are nothing but love and joyful patience. The fact that we, humans (it's communism baby) can come up with something like this makes me grateful and hopeful, and that's super precious to me.

[@1991Argentino]

Disco Elysium is not a game, it's a DEEP EXPERIENCE. I'm an ex-cop and I find this game overwhelming...It's indescriptible.

[@reubenco]

I actually listened to this playlist while reading The Name of the Rose. Didn’t even notice the username it was uploaded by until later on.

[@fearprophetsadso7843]

It is an amazing book indeed :)

[@СтепановЮрий-й9з]

I don't really sure that I would listen to this music if I didn't play the game. But I played. And that’s why I’m delighted with this music, I’ve been listening to it for a long time and many times and I can’t stop.

[@KaroSword]

Hey friend, This mix is great! I've been teaching yoga classes to it. It's made me feel good. Thank you!

[@tenfivesmiths7802]

HOW you can listen to this and not have images of the unrelenting oceans waves, social interactions and your own (voluntarily) absence out of all it is beyond me. It just pulls you in, so easily, with a couple of chords

happy to see this playlist back! I really missed it for the last 1,5-2 years Now will save it for sure

[@horuho245]

when Live with Me came up i sat at the border of my window, listening to it as I looked at the now naked tree in front of it, rain fell on my legs I remember when it was summer, I was listening to these same tracks, doing the same thing Now it's autumn here in Poland I had to skip some tracks like La Revacholiere cuz I felt I couldn't listen to them unless I hear them occur in the game While I only slept up to Ignus Nilsen Waltz, it was a beautiful experience - so thank you for creating this playlist

[@vivilabunny]

There’s something deeply interesting about how the song that plays when you meet the phasmid is called “La Revacholiere.” Maybe the reveal of the insulindian phasmid is what revachol is about. An impossible miracle happening against all odds when you least expect it and completely changing the way you see the world.

Estoy en un buen punto de mi vida, todo marcha bien, pero a veces cuando quiero reiniciar todo y poner las cosas en perspectiva regreso a este video, aunque todo este bien

[@muffin_crow]

For people that played DE and NEED more visual novels I recommend two games: Echo and Arches. The first one is a pychological furry horror visual novel. I won't spoil anything from it, but, basically, I couldn't sleep at nights the whole week I spent playing it, both from excitment to keep reading and the dread of horror I felt when the lights where gone. Arches, in the other hand, is also a horror furry visual novel (made as a sequel to Echo), but has more emphasis on exploring the relationship between the two main characters and their trauma. Cameron is not the best schizophrenic representation out there (I say this as someone with schizotypia), but he's not BAD. I'm not satisfied with how they managed his dissability but, eh, the game really deserves a try, even if you are going to critisize some flaws!

[@fedhori4407]

I can't describe how it feels like when I listen this playlist.

[@morganrosenfeld5917]

Do you ever become aware that time has passed? This morning I watched fog roll in on a video game I suddenly remembered being around 13 or 14 and playing Minecraft with a friend on her Xbox while our parents talked after lunch in the next room and was then hit by the realization that that time of my life is completely gone and I can never go back to those days. It wasn't even like some check engine light turned on in brain that signaled me being an adult. It was every little step towards leaving childhood behind; it's every time I think my father is right about me needing a nectar card; it's struggling to chose which type of bread I should buy at the store. Tears and scratches that are imperceptible on their own but add up to me being someone wholly different while wholly the same.

[@alexanderremizov3dgamedev347]

I open this playlist from time to time. It always gives me goosebumps. God that game was an experience!

[@mounorman]

What a game What a soundtrack so many emotions my Inland Empire is tingling A mastrpiece of our Lifetime Glad we where here to experiance it

[@shhh673]

Currently playing through this. I've also started a new job. I thought I could play the "blank slate" card in both cases. But no, in the game I lost my memory, in real life, I met old colleagues that either I don't like, or I've never truly known. But the feel of the game to me is that I must've lived through this situation, or perhaps I used to be surrounded by this feeling before. All the people in the game are more familiar to me than I anticipated. Kim is like a lighthouse to me, and when I don't know what to do, in game or at work, I think about him and what he will do.

[@Vinny3571]

Disco Elysium influenced me similar to how some books or movies made me rethink my life. I would say it’s likely the only video game to make me feel like that. Thank you for the experience ZA/UM.

[@Liasos88]

I'm gonna miss this game. It was so relaxing to play. The art style, the music, the voice acting. It was so good. Not to mention the story itself and the optional stories you found. I loved it.

[@Mazena]

I always think about replaying Disco Elysium, but with a completely different character. Yet I never do. The story I had was perfect for me and the game just hit me hard when I played it. It was so cool, dark, dirty and yet hopeful. I don't think I'll ever forget it.

[@Marewig]

I love this playlist, don't get me wrong, and it's suitable for a number of purposes. In terms of productivity, though, I'm only productive half the time with this on. The other half...well, it's hard to be productive when the song just ripped your heart out from your chest and left it bleeding, lying on the floor. It's an exquisite pain called nostalgia, though, so I keep playing it again from time to time. :/

[@mattgenaro]

Disco Elysium was one of the greatest spiritual experiences I ever had.

[@darknephilim3248]

Those horns. I could go through what Harry went through (total retrograde amnesia, not the other stuff) and still those horns would spark a nostalgic memory. A line from the game few talk about sticks with me, especially when thinking of Disco Elysium as a whole. When you shake Titus' hand its described as "Holding a lump of unpolished granite" or something to that effect. That is Disco Elysium. For all the issues both in and out of game (My portrait has been stuck as "icebreaker" for the last three playthroughs) its a truly unique experience that will never be done again. I'm currently working myself towards the platinum, just two trophies left. Part of me wants to achieve that goal, part of me doesn't want it to end. Harry, Kim, Jean, Cuno, fucking electrochemistry. Theres not a single part of this game I dislike. I'm not sure its my favourite game, that spot has been filled by an rpg from my childhood I'm too nostalgic for to have it replaced, but it is VERY high up there.

[@stevedavesteve4224]

I have only recently found this game. After a couple of hours its really got a hold on me. This music perfectly compliments the world its set. Love 'Ignus Nilsen Waltz'... haunting Beautiful!
