Finally getting into Disco Elysium after a false start last year. Great game, spectacular writing, though it does require a little bit of investment.
I put about three hours into it. It's obviously a well put together game that a lot of love went into, but it just ended up being way too much dialogue for me. Most people love the game though, hope you enjoy it!
I had the same problem on my first try! I'd been trying to do everything and talk to everyone about everything and just drowned in words.
On my second try, though, I took a different approach: what if I am this guy, just want to get the job done, and only do stuff for the purpose of trying to progress the case? That worked great for me, and the game is structured so this still takes you through much of its contents -- only, now, there is a purpose to it.
So, thanks, friend! I am indeed now enjoying this game, and I hope you are enjoying whatever you are playing also.
I got stuck a few hours into it and quit trying. I really want to love this game and play it through multiple times, but it just doesn't make sense to me and I don't want to read any guides or spoilers. I want whatever path I take through the game to be my path, but it isn't working for me.
