I played the demo and I was very, very impressed. It's really fun and well written, and feels much closer in spirit to Disco Elysium than Zero Parades.
Zero Parades
I didn't know the demo for that was out!
it is, and it's an incredibly mid game, feels like a poor copy of Disco while Esoteric Ebb feels fresh, exciting and like it goes beyond being just a "Disco-like", for lack of a better term
heard chef, just doesn't have that sauce.
My first impression on playing the demo is that there's really something special about this one, both in terms of the writing and the gameplay.
I gotta admit i lost track of the DE "spiritual successors", is this related to a fraction of the original staff in any way like the other 4 games i can think of or is that an entirely unrelated studio making a disco-like?
Completely unrelated; just some person who liked Disco and made a game.

Plus a healthy dose of Terry Pratchett.
I only got to play it for a couple hours after work tonight but I can already tell this game will be very much My Shit. I just talked to a little demon lawyer about the laws around resurrection spells, the death penalty, and expectations about DIP (Death in Perpetuity). And I can keep asserting to people that I'm The Cleric.
Oh this looked very good when I checked it out. I’ll likely be buying
Looks really quite promising.
Man, it's been a while since I bought a game on launch day.
