Disco Elysium
what lingers isn't any single moment but the cumulative weight of how the game treats failure, not as obstacle but as characterization... it builds a portrait of a person through collapse and small recoveries, and that framework keeps surfacing in my thinking long after. the writing operates at a density that rewards slow attention, and the skill system functions almost like a jazz ensemble, voices interrupting and complicating each other rather than resolving cleanly.
