i think the game described could be fun, but given the op described disco elysium as "🙄 Do we really need another grimy detective story?" and as "👨 I'm playing as a generic middle aged white man again, urgh." i'm a little inclined to believe her game would be bad
I didn't realize she was a game developer - that makes it worse lol. I just assumed she was a random .
Especially with the "generic middle-aged white man" bit. Are there even many popular games where the protagonist is middle-aged? It's usually a young adult or teen protagonist. Then her proposed alternative is a pretty common, especially with games like Witchbrook and Songs of Glimmerwick coming out soon (no shade on these games, they look really cool).
It was really cool when your songbird companion downed a bottle of unspecified spirits and proceeded to regale you with the stories of foreign mercenaries slaughtering her comrades-in-arms during the Uprising.
no i'd play it, i just think the premise is funny. reads like "what if disco elysium but i didn't have to think about irl issues" more than anything else
