вЂњBefore I launched Elysium, I always thought that the вЂlistening to our fansвЂ™ stuff was just lip service,вЂќ Hindpere said. People are still perfecting Fallout: New Vegas to this day!вЂќ More to matterДЇor The Final Cut, ZA/UM focused its effort into a few different areas: recording voice overs for the entire game (1.2 million words, Hindpere said) and expanding the scope of its political choices, both of which were requests from Disco Elysium fans. She continued: вЂњThe expandability of games, especially RPGs, stands testimony to just how grand an art form they are. The human ear can only hear so many notes in 40 minutes, but all senses over four days? We can perfect that experience to kingdom come.вЂќ (Though, perhaps, Beethoven did feel that way!) вЂњI think thatвЂ™s because games are just larger in the promise they hold.

вЂњWe donвЂ™t listen to a Beethoven symphony and say, вЂNeeds more flugelhorn,вЂ™вЂќ Hindpere said. ItвЂ™s something that makes games unique - people donвЂ™t expect them to be quite done when theyвЂ™re released thereвЂ™s always something that can be patched in. Games like Minecraft, Overwatch, and Stardew Valley are never truly finished. вЂњBefore I launched Elysium, I always thought that the вЂlistening to our fansвЂ™ stuff was just lip serviceвЂќ The mystery itself is almost secondary to the playerвЂ™s choices in the story you can decide what kind of person you are, and those decisions send the detective and his personal politics down one of four main paths: communism, fascism, moralism, or ultra liberalism. Players take on the role of a detective who has no memory of his past but has been put in charge of a murder mystery. ItвЂ™s akin to pen-and-paper role-playing games, with no combat decisions are made through dialogue and skill checks. вЂњIn many ways, this is the Disco Elysium we dreamt of launching when we started development in 2014.вЂќДisco Elysium is a not your traditional role-playing video game. вЂњ The Final Cut was very much the plan from the start,вЂќ lead writer Helen Hindpere told Polygon, referring to the upcoming, extended release of the detective game. That doesnвЂ™t mean that Disco Elysium, as released two years ago, was an unfinished game rather, ZA/UM hadnвЂ™t yet seen the success necessary to fully fund everything else its designers wanted to build. Despite the role-playing gameвЂ™s success, developer ZA/UM always wanted more for Disco Elysium. The game won prizes at The Game Awards, DICE, GDC, and the BAFTAs.

When Disco Elysium was released in 2019, it started racking up awards.
