Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It's the only visual novel I've ever played, but it excels so much at it. The writing, worldbuilding, characters, narrator, and overall "vibe" are fantastically superb. It's also another one of those games that I can't help but play for ~5 hours nearly every day until I finish it. I'm no video game connoisseur, so you can find more sophisticated reviews elsewhere. You can pick it up on GOG for like €10 half of the time.
Hate to break it to you, but you still haven't played any visual novel because Disco Elysium is a CRPG.
A visual novel would be VA-11 HALL-A or Milk Outside a Bag of Milk Outside a Bag of Milk.
You're right, but I thought that it was one of those visual novels because I had to have a dictionary at hand to understand half of the words.
