Disco Elysium

Disco Elysium is a role-playing game where you step into the shoes of a detective who’s lost his memory after a drunken binge. Waking up in an unfamiliar city, you’re immediately drawn into an investigation of a mysterious murder. Yet the real intrigue lies not in finding the killer, but in discovering who you will become once the truth begins to unfold.

Instead of traditional combat, you face dialogues, skill checks, and tense internal monologues. Your mind becomes a battlefield: twenty-four distinct skills speak to you in different voices — arguing, advising, or misleading you. Every line of dialogue or passing thought can change the course of the investigation and how others perceive you.

You’ll search for clues, argue with locals, make decisions, form your own ideology, and even reinterpret your past. The world reacts to your every word, outfit, and gesture, while your beliefs take shape in the unique “Thought Cabinet.”

Disco Elysium is a story about choice, politics, and self-discovery. It grants you the freedom to become a brilliant detective, a miserable drunk, or something in between — and leaves it up to you to decide what it means to be yourself.

Note: At present, Disco Elysium remains largely inaccessible for fully blind players. While full voice acting makes it easier to follow the story by ear, the interface, menus, and environmental interactions still require visual navigation.

A community of enthusiasts is currently developing a modification aimed at making the game accessible through spoken interface elements and audio cues. The project is in beta testing. It does not yet offer a fully playable experience but provides significant hope for improvement.

Once the stable version of the modification is released, the game’s accessibility rating for blind players will be re-evaluated.
