Viral horror game Livber: Smoke and Mirrors is basically spooky Disco Elysium

Text-based games were a thing long before Disco Elysium, and they'll exist long after it has exited the public consciousness. Right now, however, it is a core part of the social zeitgeist and has led to a resurgence of text-heavy RPGs and narrative games.
