What is Disco Elysium: The Final Cut? In the role-playing game you are a detective. You can interrogate suspects, solve murder cases and fight for justice – or do the complete opposite.
You can just as well accept bribes in Disco Elysium as a corrupt investigator, start fights with the NPCs and become the most unscrupulous detective in the run-down town of Revachol.
A special element in the game is an extraordinary ability that you have as a detective. As a player, you hear the different thoughts and speak to different aspects of yourself to gain helpful information.
The “Final Cut” version delivers a remastered and improved version of the original RPG.
