Here's Disco Elysium as a Game Boy game

If you missed Disco Elysium on every other platform, you can try it on Game Boy - sort of. A partial Game Boy demake of the indie game has been developed by a fan to commemorate the detective game's first birthday.


Available on Itch, Disco Elysium Game Boy Edition transforms the investigative RPG game from a vibrant, isometric environment, to the green and white, top-down view of similar adventures on the original Game Boy. Right now, it's just the opening section, but the way everything's been modulated to fit the limitations is a serious feat of game development know-how.


At the start, you choose between three archetypes, thinker, sensitive, and physical, and you still have the ongoing conversation trees with your own psyche. The dialogue retains the same pseudo-philosophical poetry, though obviously pared down a bit for space and time, and the rooms are vaguely the same, if you know the first few areas well. It was built using GB Studio, a name-your-price development tool that lets you build games to the specs of the handheld. No sound right now - creator Colin Brannan is looking for someone to compose a full soundtrack.

One Year Anniversary



We're wishing Disco Elysium a happy birthday as it's now one whole year old. And what a revolution it has been. Here are some numbers that help quantify the game's journey so far:
  • 3 new languages (and more to come)
  • 15+ patches
  • 15+ award wins
  • 40+ award nominations
  • 5000+ Discord members
  • 21,000+ Steam reviews

We're celebrating the occasion with the game's biggest discount ever. You can buy Disco Elysium at -30% off for a limited time! Tell all your friends who are yet to make a purchase (or gift it to them if you're feeling extra generous) so they can enjoy the experience too.

Discount Elysium isn't all we have for you today as we're also rolling out the new Language Switch feature. This lets you swap between two languages on the fly by simply pressing a button. You can choose which languages to flick between in the Options menu. We hope this lets you further enjoy the poetic richness of Disco Elysium's many tongues.



This is the latest update in a year of many for Disco Elysium -- and there's plenty more to come. We hope to continue improving the game as a way to thank you for all your support. Over the past year it has reached us in many wonderful ways so we'd like to share some of the highlights.

Disco Elysium is now available in Spanish and Korean!

A magnificent engine roars before you. Yet this is no machine – it is the esteemed beast Disco Elysium, equipped with powerful laryngeal muscles.

You look up as it opens wide an imposing maw above you, lined with a full set of impressive fangs, but it is the soft patty of flesh in the middle that catches your attention. As you watch, the tongue splits and forks in four separate directions. Somehow, you now realise, it has learned to speak four languages – a tongue for each one.




Hello everyone! We're very happy to announce that Disco Elysium is now available to play in Spanish and Korean. The Simplified Chinese version has also been optimized based on player feedback and thousands of internal revisions.

This is all down to the passionate work of our translation teams, who we have been working with closely for the past several months to make each translation the best it can be. We'd like to say a great big thank you to those teams and hope that you will join us in celebrating and supporting their efforts.

We will continue to improve the text in all available languages going forward so please carry on letting us know of any ways you think we could do this. We love hearing from you and can't thank you enough for all the support we have received and continue to receive. We hope to keep impressing you and reciprocating your love with future updates.

We're also putting the game on a -25% sale for a limited time alongside this launch. Now is a great time to pick up Disco Elysium if you haven't already, or to gift it to a friend who has been waiting to play it – especially if their preferred language is Spanish or Korean.
