A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

On your return to Precinct 41, play as Disco Elysium's Harry Du Bois with your new partner Kim Kitsuragi as you investigate what should be a simple open-and-shut case, that quickly devolves into something more...

We are a small team of dedicated people working together, to make a non-commercial fan-made visual novel of the game Disco Elysium.

This is a demo of the first chapter of our visual novel, with much more to come!

We would appreciate any sort of feedback, in order to make the upcoming chapters as awesome as possible :D

This was a fantastic demo- I gave it a good few playthroughs and was delighted to see how much variation there is in just this sample. Everyone's characterization feels true to the source material and it's just as jarring to disappoint Kim as always. I realize it's been a good while since any update, but I will still hope to see this complete one day.

Really cool game so far! Keep up the good work, I hope you haven't given up!

I have no idea if this game is still in production or not but I have to say I really liked it! I really enjoyed the writing and I especially loved the art style for the characters (cool design for Captain Pryce btw)

I really enjoyed this demo! The writing is great, and some things made me lough out loud.

(I also appreciate that there was no "typing sound" accompanying the dialogues. That is a visual novel convention that I find pretty jarring.) 

Loved this little demo! Made me feel like I was right back at home in the game!  thanks for sharing!

I hope this is still in development--it's so good so far!

Awsome demo, loved it !

Very cute and promising! The art is absolutely beautiful and the music choices are solid. The writing looks great so far, too. I'd love to see a full version!

I absolutely adored this little demo and can not wait for the full version to come out! The little jokes here and there and making Kim smile was absolutely awesome and lovely . It plays very well and I look forward to more.

Very polished and a pleasure to play, couldn't stop smiling. Everything fits amazingly well together and is very in tune with the original game. I can't wait to see the rest !

Happened upon this randomly - it's pretty fun so far. Feels like the writing manages to feel in line with the game's while transitioning to the VN medium  as well.

the demo is very nice! the writing is sharp, the art on point, and it all captures the feel of the original game. can't wait to see the whole game

Ahhhh man I'm terrible at writing reviews but I liked this one so much I'll risk rolling Rethoric: Heroic just once :D

This was so fun and in-character! I love how you kept the spirit of the original in transitioning to VN format. The artstyle and music are wonderful fit, too! Looking forward to more and thank you for bringing more Disco Elysium to the masses!

This is great! The design, the characters, and just the feel of it is very Disco Elysium. Everyone feels like they're perfectly in character, especially Harry and Kim. The story is intriguing and works very well to pull players in. Even the design of it is just very well done. I'm genuinely excited for it to continue!

I like everything about this little demo, liking ost, liking visuals, super-liking variety in dialogues, there are sooo many options to choose!, and I just hope they aren't just to water but really will lead to something. Only thing that I would like to see is - animated scenes, like when you ride in the motor-carriage and look through the window - you see houses and the sky, and trees, street lights and so on, like it would be on repeat, on loop passing by, and it would improve atmosphere and immersive significantly. Anyway hope to see the full game, good luck, bratans!

I just finished playing through the demo, and I love it! Thank you for creating such a wonderful fangame set in the world of Disco Elysium.

I love seeing your team's progress on the game through your Twitter account too. Thank you for the continuing updates.

I wanted to also invite you to a Discord server I use. It's called DevTalk and it's a server for visual novel developers. The community there is very friendly, and if you have questions on the Ren'Py engine, there's many people there who are happy to help give advice or info on it. If such a server interests you, let me know, and I can send you a Discord invite.

Thank you again for the wonderful visual novel.

I didn't play very far into the game but the dialogue seemed too close to the original

Hi Tobias, could you please explain this in more detail? If you got critique, we would love to hear it :D

Love this! Just what I needed after finishing Disco Elysium! Thank you so much and I wish you guys luck for the future, can't wait!!

(+2)

Thank you all for your positive comments!

(+2)

Dear god. I finished Disco Elysium not so long ago and got quite upset when I found out the sequel is unlikely to be about Harry & Kim, so you have no idea how happy I am to find this game. It's so on point!! Can't wait.

I absolutely love this demo! It was so charming and fun and I'm so, so excited to see what else is in store for the future. I feel like I'm back in Disco Elysium all over again. Thank you for making such a lovely fan project.

We appreciate that so much, thank you!!! You've all been so encouraging and we cant wait to bring you guys the rest of what's in store!

Just finished the game and what can I say, it's really good. Everything up to the writing, art, and music. 

I hope you'll continue on making the game and I'll be here waiting for the full release.

Thank youu! We definitely will be continuing and making it the best it can be!

I just played the first Chapter and holy dolores this so good!
The writing is crisp, it made me laugh, the characters feel like a natural continuation from the game.
Thank you so much for making this!

We're so happy to hear that! Thank you for your support, we can't wait to work on the rest!
