disco elysium text-form #thots:

i finished my first run last friday because i went stupid and played the game for nearly 24h straight. i could literally not drop it. i called it a 10/10 when i was about 2h away from finishing it, finished it and kept that score. it’s a real good game and you can stop here with my endorsement but if you want some more in-depth spoiler-free thoughts on it you can read the rest of this post. it’s big.

due to the content of the game, i talk about mental health topics, suicide, drug use and - obviously - cops 🐷

in a way calling this by numbers feels reductive (scalding hot review take, i know). a 10/10 score doesn’t reflect the awe i felt when gilding through the end-game. it doesn’t say a thing about how viscerally my body reacted to a few pixels and lines of text. it can’t tell you that i spent 2h in bed trying to sleep but couldn’t keep my brain off of it and got up at 8AM to finish it; or how much i’ve been replaying the game in my head, curious about how certain quests or events would have gone if i’d tried a different approach or character build.

i have this funky little medical condition that goes with my autism that makes it difficult for me to identify and process most emotions that i feel. but i can tell you how my body reacted. this game went into my gut. it felt like a leaded fist burrowed through my throat into the pit of my stomach and shredded my insides. it got me fucked up, is what i’m saying.

obviously i can’t go into what caused me to react like that without spoiling the shit out of this game, and since i wish i could gently lobotomize myself in order to experience it again for the first time, i heavily recommend you go through it knowing as little as possible. what i can do, however, is talk about the technical elements of it.

the art is beautiful. the art direction is top-notch and it was definitely of the things that drew me to this game first. the oil painting aesthetic is sublime - gritty and ethereal in equal parts whenever each purpose is called for. finding out that the art team was spearheaded by painting majors from russian fine-art schools made perfect sense - it shows, and the game made peak use of it. the philosophy behind their visual approach is woven into the fabric of the game itself - it’s a perfect compliment to the writing and storytelling, and i’d struggle to imagine this game without it. it permeates and elevates every environment, every interaction, every character build choice - from the character portraits, to the UI, to certain skills and game events. real art cop hours all my homies kin the art cop.

the music by british sea power is subsided and haunting and gives the game that british/european post-industrial melancholic flavor. i’m no music critic sadly. it fits the mood and it stands out beautifully in a few key scenes, but that’s as much as i can say.

the biggest turn off for me was in the voice acting. if you’re interested in playing this game i’m going to assume with 75% certainty you’re in your early 20s to 30s and are politically located to the left side of liberal at a minimum - so i’ll just come out and say it plainly: every second NPC (especially in the late game) is voiced by a leftist podcaster. i’m sure this is a plus for some, and it’s not the kind of thing you’d immediately notice anyway unless you’re a quote unquote dirtbag leftist with terminal irony poisoning twitter brainrot. most of them do competent work, but the sound mixing and general performance is weaker in comparison to the NPCs voiced by actual voice actors. 

it’s not that bad, but it’s there - and the fact that this is probably my biggest complaint about the game should say enough of my opinion on it. either way i was cringing with recognition every time it happened and it took me out on more than one occasion because i kept hearing felix chapotraphouse in one of the game’s big tense climatic scenes.

‘but caramujo!’ you say ‘this doesn’t tell me what this game is about’. hold on, i’m about to blow the ‘i can’t do literary analysis unless things are explained to me in clear cut absolute terms’ gang out of a career and spell the themes of this game out for you in detail:

it’s about loss, and renewal - both personal and interpersonal. it’s about rising from the ruins of something that’s been in motion long before you were even thought of, having little power over it, and soldiering on. it’s about heartbreak and the end of a relationship and how that can warp your mind and infect everything around you. and you won’t get better right away - the end game doesn’t wrap everything up with a little bow and lets you cause systematic upheaval. you can’t revolutionize your way out of this one. shit will, for the time being, continue to suck. 

it’s about waking up in a body that’s fucked up with a heart that aches in a world that’s been torn apart - and still making the decision to try to make it better - because you’re alive, and your heart beats, and there’s other beings in the world that are tethered to you and we all owe it to ourselves to make it better. communism hasn’t worked, baby - but so hasn’t love - and we’re not gonna give up on that. that’s what it’s all about.

it should be pretty clear right now that i did my first run as a bisexual/questioning communist feminist hobo who kinned karl marx. but i can assure you there’s other ways to play this game, and there’s more to it than that because of it. 

the quests (both side quests and a main story) are varied and had me laughing and dropping into existential despair on different occasions. other than trying to be the biggest communism builder, this game is also about:

- having a heart attack because a chair is too uncomfortable, but it’s OK because your buddy cop holds you in his arms like in the buddy cop movies. 

- doing copious amounts of drugs and turning on, tuning in and dropping out, maaaaan. 

- going on an x-files monster of the week episode to track down a curse that’s dooming the local businesses.

- shilling for the free market to come fix it all with its beatific invisible hand while standing in a town so fucked over by economic embargoes and poverty that the local union leader is a corrupt toad with a plan to revitalize the region by gathering the work force into a nationalized worker owned drug enterprise of the legal and illegal varieties - and it still comes off as one of the more levelheaded economic decisions one could make in that situation. 

- trying not to fucking kill yourself even though you have to live with that thought every single day. 

- winning the trust of a 12 year old crackhead with a deadbeat dad by becoming a positive masculine role model. 

- turning into a fascist you so can get buffs from drinking alcohol, and therefore becoming a raging alcoholic and having to walk up to important story events carrying half a liquor store in your inventory so you don’t have a mental breakdown or kill yourself from lack of morale whenever someone calls you out on your ethnonationalist bullshit.

it’s also - and i cannot stress this enough - about making sure you can find a tape to sing karaoke and make kim kitsuragi smile. it slaps. it’s real good writing.

i don’t know what else can say. pretty sure the game is on sale on steam now. anyway please play this absolute masterpiece and stan studio za/um for clear skin. ACAB.

 I went back to my room to relax. While sketching with music in the background my phone buzzes in my lap. Sage is calling me. I gladly answer it with excitement. “Hello?”

“PLEASE! HELP! ANGEL, HELP ME!” my phone screams at me causing me to stand up.

“Sage! Are you ok?”

“I am fine. I just want to get your attention.” Sage laughs at her dark humor. I take a deep breath and sit back down.

“That was not funny.” 

“Yes, it was.” She laughs in between. “Come on it, it was funny.” 

I gave up on my pride and laugh along. “Fine, it was funny. Do you have to a question of a reason for calling rather than trying to give me a heart attack?”

“Yes, I do. I was wondering if you can come with me to the mall. I need to go prom shopping and I need advice.” I awe in silence thinking she wants me there. But I forgot prom is coming soon. Maybe I should also go shopping for dresses? 

“I would love too let me just check in with my brother to see if I can. I’ll text you. Okay?” I say as I leave my room to find my brother.”

“Yes of course. Just text me.”

“Bye.”

“Bye.” We both sign off and end the call. 

I make my way to the arena where Eric is doing his regular workouts to stay fit. I walk around and avoid any interaction so I don’t ruin someone’s concentration. I see my brother lifting weights in front of a mirror. 

I skip down to his sections and begin to say, “Hello, beautiful brother of mine.” Giving my best smile. I love my brother and he loves me. I know I am my brother’s weakness and it is hard for him to say no to me. It is bad of me to play off of it sometimes.

“What do you want?” As Eric put the weights back in place with Cam’s help. 

“What makes you think I want something? I ask my brother.

He just raises his eyebrow suspiciously. “You never come in open arenas unless you need something.”

“Well, I hate working out and prefer a light jog, unlike some people.” I look around and see all our warriors working out and dying from exhaustion. “Fine.” I give up the act. “I was wondering if I can go to the mall with my friend Sage. Please.” I shyly ask with a soft smile. After I was done I hang my head down low ready to rejection. 

“Sure.” He answers.

My head pops up fast. “Wait really? You are going against father’s wishes for me to stay home?”

“I trust you and trust you enough to go on your own for a couple of hours.”

My eyes widen in shock and slightly confused. “Oh okay. Thank you. I’ll just go then. Bye, love you both. I would hug you but you’re a little sweaty.” 

With my brother’s approval and already texted Sage that I am on my way to pick her up. It will be easier to take one vehicle. Before I could exit out Jesus stops me.

“Where are you going? And who are you meeting?” Jesus does his Mexican interrogation.

“Umm… I asked my brother if I could go to the mall.”

“I know I just got a text from our Alpha saying to come with you,” Jesus says. 

“Oh okay. I didn’t know I had a plus one. Sage and I are going dress shopping for prom.”

“Oh really! Let’s go.” Jesus claps turning his serious expression off and back to his happy self. I smile and follow Jesus who decided to drive. 

We successfully picked up Sage and found a parking spot with shade. Sage is glad Jesus came. They both share an extroverted personality. I’m glad they get along and but both can be stubborn in their ways of living. Like when we pass a pretzel cafe inside the mall. They argue for 10 minutes if a pretzel should be salted or unsalted. We all link arms and skip inside our first stop. It is a bridal shop that holds their seasonal prom dresses collection.

“Alright, bitches here is the game plan. I am looking for a dress that makes me feel sexy, not slutty. A dress with rhinestone but I’m not trying to compete with the disco ball. I don’t care if they are short or long. I want to show everyone that at school I may look like a hot mess. But Just give me 10 minutes and I can be a hot bitch. Yes?” Sage says with her typical power pose.

Jesus and I nod at her demands and starts shopping around. All these dresses are beautiful. I smile and selfish wonder if they would look good on me. I push those thoughts away and remember I am here for Sage. Jesus and I hold open multiple dresses to Sage to see if she seems interested enough to try it on.

In total Sage walks in the dressing room with 10 dresses at a time. 

Jesus sits on a couch in front of the runway. I walk in the dressing room with Sage to help her. We giggle loud enough for the whole shop to hear. I try my best to quiet it down but sometimes Sage just makes me laugh by grunting to get into a dress. 

“I am waiting!” Jesus yells to hurry us up. 

Sage just rolls her eyes and walks out of the runway like a model. She is a feisty 5’5” figure but wants everyone to notice her presence. So she poses, poses and turns around. She did this for each dress she tries on. Jesus openly reacts to each dress. But he also pranks Sage by sneaking in a couple of ugly dresses. My favorite was a terrible big bird dress. I did take a photo of it to always remember this moment. 

After 7 dress Sage like a sparkle golden dress with a deep v neckline and backless. Jesus and I stop what we were doing because Sage looks so beautiful. The long dress flows behind her as she walks.

“Sage you look amazing. Are you going to wear heels?” I ask.

“Yeah, most likely.”

“Sage you need to get this dress. It fits you perfectly. I’m gay and I would fuck you.” Jesus says as he walks around Sage.

“Really? Thank you.” Sage says as we all laugh.

“You know I never been to prom and I have a bow tie that matches that dress.” He winks and hits at Sage.

“Oh really?” Jesus has caught her attention. “I wouldn’t want this dress to go to waste without some arm candy.” She says.

“Plus you wouldn’t have to worry about a date.” I encourage Sage.

“Or the pressure of prom sex.” Jesus smiles.

“You’re right. Do you want to come?” Sage ask.

Jesus kneels down and says, “I would be honored if I can take you to prom. Will you go with me?”

She smiles and says, “Yes, of course.”

“Now it’s Angel’s turn,” Jesus says and I eyes widen of the mention of my name. 

“Oh no. I’m good. I thought we were here for Sage. I’m not sure if I am going to prom.” I stutter and try to decline politely.

“As a power couple, we demand you to go and try on a couple of dresses,” Sage says as she wraps her arm around Jesus. 

“Guys please no,” I beg. “Fine just one then we are leaving.” I give up and let them have their fun. 

“Come with me.” Sage grab my hand drag me into a fitting room. “Stay here we will be back. 

I sit and wait until they pull a dress. I hear outside “Try it on!”

I look at it and my jaw drops down. Are they kidding me? It is a tight red dress. An off the shoulders with a heart neckline. I swallow my pride and just try it. I know it will make them stop pressuring me to go to prom. 

“Guy’s I can’t…” I say.

“Why?”

“It’s too tight. I don’t know.” I don’t feel comfortable in it.

“Just show us. Don’t make me come in there. I will.” Sage yells back at me. I stay quiet then I hear, “I’m going to crawling underneath.” She threatens me.

“Fine. I am coming out.” I am doing this for them rather than me. I unlock the door and walk up to them. I hold myself with my arms wrap around my stomach. I am too self-conscious. I feel like I am about to burst out of this dress like Hulk. I avoid their eye contact.

They weren’t even saying anything which makes this worse. Is it that bad?

“Omg! Angel! Look at you!” Sage run up to me to spin for them.

“What? Is it that bad?” I ask.

“Are you kidding? This is so sexy.” Sage gasp and made me let go of my waist. “You are a sex goddess

“I feel like I have sinned.”

“I feel like your brother is going to kill me,” Jesus says. He knows we must not dress too crazy. As an Alpha member, we must always look presentable and conservative. 

“Who knew you had these curves under all those cardigans,” Sage says. 

I honestly didn’t think my Mexican hips were going to fit in this tight dress and I am scared my boobs are going to pop out of this dress. I’m more of a heavier set of breasts.

“Can I change now?” 

“Wait? What? You have to wear this to Prom.” Sage says. I know she is trying to push me out of my comfort zone. “I can’t wait for Xavier to see you in this. He is going to shit himself.” 

“I don’t think I am going anyways.” I don’t think Xavier would even ask me. I know people want him for prom king. “It is too tight.” I don’t want to wear something I don’t feel confident in. I want to wear something for myself and not for anyone else’s twisted fantasies. 

“It is supposed to be. It is a mermaid cut dress.” Jesus says.

“You should never cut a mermaid,” I mumble.

 In the end, Sage pay for her dress and we make our way back to the car. I feel so much better to be back into my normal clothes. While walking with shopping bags in hand Jesus stops walking and backtracks. His sudden reaction made Sage and I follow his new direction.

“Jesus, where are you going? The car is this way!” I say.

“Isn’t that your brother’s car?” Jesus questions.” 

I look at his direction he was pointing at and I see three men crouching down in shame. They start rolling up the window. I march over to them and knock on the driver side. Through the spotless glass, I see Eric, Cam is on the passenger side, and Xavier sitting in the back. 

With my hand on my hip, I ask, “What is going on here? What are you guys doing here?”

“Oh, we are just shopping.” My brother starts to say.

I calming repeat myself and ask. “Please don’t lie to me.” 

“I’m sorry Angel we were watching you from afar,” Eric says.

“You guys were watching me?” I ask.

“That’s creepy,” Sage says in the background. They all got out of the car and line up in front of me. “Really creepy.”

“Why would you guys do that?” Jesus asks mostly in Cam’s directions. His tone of voice sounds disappointed.

“Well…”

“We...were..”

Both Xavier and Cam stumble with their words do to our disappointed state. 

“We were worried about you,” Xavier says while putting his head down.

“Angel we were worried. This is your first time out since the shooting accident. We didn’t want you to be in trouble or…” Eric trails off as Sage picked the sentence up.

“Or if someone was following us like creepy stalkers,” she completed.

“Do you not trust me?” Jesus asks with watery eyes. I look back and forth between the two lovebirds. I pray for Cam to response the both his mate and his Alpha.

To Cam’s rescue, Eric says. “Considering the recent events, we believe more protection would be helpful. It has nothing to do with your ability to protect her.” 

Jesus stays quiet to please his Alpha. I am still not satisfied with his answer. “Why are you here?” I ask Xavier.

“I went to your house, Eric answered the door and he told me to get into the car. I didn’t realize what we were doing until we saw you shopping.” He answers.

Blood rushes to my cheeks and thinking he saw me in the prom dress. They all saw me in THAT dress. That evil red dress. “So you saw us in the mall and…”

“Yes, we did.” He smiles at his memories which only makes me crumble more of embarrassment. 

“Did you guys have fun?” My brother asks.

“I thought you said you could trust me. I guess I was wrong. I’ll see you at home.” I whimper about my brother’s lie and walk back to the car. 

I hear my brother calling for me but lies are never acceptable. Lies only cause my trust to break and is never put back.

Little did I know that this fuck boy was actually not as big of an asshole as he made himself out to be. I don’t think we actually solidified until we went to college though, since we are going to the same one and didn’t know anyone and bonded. Also Lisa. Love you Lisa, never change, but I know you love Brooke more, so it’s fine.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever bought? This sunblock that made me break out in hives and freaked out my mom when we were in Florida because she thought something in the ocean was killing me.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever been given? This is going to turn into a story time because I’m extra and am looking for a distraction alright okay. If we’re talking sentimental; Stupid John White, who I mentioned above, gave me this big ass jar. I was like, wow thanks John, I get you concert tickets, suffered at it with you, and you give me a damn jar, what is this full of diRT? And he’s like, no you fucker, just take it home and open it. So I go back to my apartment and am like half scared it’s something gross because he would pull that shit on me, so I open it over my trashcan. And when nothing gross wafs into the air I look inside and am not really sure? What I’m looking at? So I take it back to my bed and dump it out, and basically it’s just a bunch of bullshit that he kept over the years. Like movie tickets and notes we passed in class, and pictures and other stuff. And then a little letter being like, “Happy Birthday!” And I cried!

If we’re talking material: My laptop. Thanks mom, you’re the best, love you.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever been given? Is there such a thing as a bad gift. I don’t know. Probably some gift card to a place I don’t like, but even then I probably went and used it on deserts. So I don’t really know, you got me there.

What are your future goals? Get a job. Don’t be a bum.

Describe your bedroom? Uhh...So I guess I’ll describe my one at home because my apartment one is as bare as is was when I moved in.

It’s like a square, but one of the walls is slanted, so it’s got a weird angle. A full length window on the right wall with some soft floral curtains. My bed is in the middle of the room, up against the opposite wall so when I walk in I can just hop up and fall face first onto it. The bed has four drawers under it, so that’s where all my regular clothing is for the most part. My closet it on the left wall, and that’s where I keep my hanging clothes, old sentimental clothes, and blankets for when I get cold or when someone stays over.

Who do you consider the most beautiful woman in the world? Honestly I really love Alicia Key??? Or Reese Witherspoon. OR WAIT TARAJI P. HENSON.

Who do you consider the most handsome man in the world? ….Can I say Taika or is this biased. Probably. Maybe Chris Pine. Idk. Roger Federer.

Favorite thing to do on a hot summers day?  Swim in the damn pool or drink a glass of lemonade.

Favorite thing to do on a snowy winters day? What’re those. Joking. Uhm, probably the usual. Get snuggly. Get something warm to drink. Throw on Elf or some other feel good snowy movie.

If you were granted 3 wishes, what would they be?

Be granted the power of healing.

Please, Mr. Genie, fix the environment.

Probably ask for money I’m ngl.

If you could go back in time to see or change something, when would it be and what would you do?

Wow so many options. Tell my parents to wait for a hot second on having a baby, then maybe one of the other sperms could have gotten to the egg that wouldn’t have made me.

Too morbid? Lmao, okay, uhm, probably keep my brother from wrecking the car.

What’s the first thing you think about when you wake up? “Why am I awake, god damnit.”
