Disco Elysium News

Hey everyone!

Things have been a bit quiet recently but we’re here to change that! First up we have an update from our trip to San Francisco for GDC, some recent press to share and 5 of our favourite games from the conference. The team had an awesome time, attending numerous talks, events and meeting inspiring developers from all over the world. Lots of awesome people dropped by to play the game, so a huge thank you to those who did. As always we really appreciate the feedback, the support and the patience from all our fans.



We showed the game for 2 days with the wonderful Indie MEGABOOTH. Big shout out to all the organisers, volunteers and crew that help make it possible! You can see their post show recap here!

Since our return Disco Elysium has been featured in a number of articles and videos. Paste Magazine listed us as one of their [url=10 best gamesfrom GDC and RPG Codex got a hands on show floor demo of the game. Windows Central also highlighted us as an upcoming indie game and GameZakh included us in this mega list of PC RPG's!
