'...Love pulled the Trigger' - In this Disco Elysium analysis we take a critical look at the various elements that comprise the game and how it pushes the envelope of both narrative design and RPG design. With a particular focus on setting, characters and story, and a more broadly at how the calibre of prose, dialogue writing, along with art direction and music augments these elements this essay looks to establish how and why Disco Elysium became such a modern classic and distinguishes itself in the industry today.
