除去心灵冲浪这个超能力设定，此游戏是我玩过的体验感最真实的侦探游戏。线索是不能一次性完全查明的，破案时间是有限制的，搜查令是需要申请的，居民被搜查房屋后是会生气并拒绝后续配合的，问询话题是必须斟酌取舍的，也没有人搜查线索会把居民家里的所有物品翻个底朝天，想搜查什么都要仔细判断，玩得有点心累但是真实感真的很不错，比较少玩到这种高自由度非线性叙事侦探游戏
Disco Elysium lite. Overall good but leaves some things that could be improved. Wasn't a super big fan of the time constraint - there really isn't enough time to go about searching for random things; I took up almost 100% of the time just questioning and mindsurfing everyone. On the mindsurf minigame, I kinda hated it, but you can just turn it off so it's not really a problem. Inspecting items and getting search warrants were kinda useless... as long as you see like 2/3 key mindsurfs and put one or two pieces together the killer is very gettable. I didn't even search the killer's house because I accidentally used the search warrant on them on the first day I could and didn't have time to look there. You don't really need to look at any items or go to the search warrant only areas to figure out the killer so it all felt a bit pointless... also you don't even really have time to do that. But... aside from that it was enjoyable overall. Buy on sale, not worth full price due to short playtime. Because of the non linearity you could technically say it's replayable but once you know who the killer is like... what's the point? And to be honest you really should find the killer on the first try - it's not hard. Maybe if you went in to it knowing you didn't have enough time to do everything and you did all the side stuff on your first playthrough then actually tried on the second the game might last you 2 playthroughs. If you manage to figure out the REAL story of what's going on in the whole game past just finding the killer - it's really really good. But the game definitely does not make it obvious.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

that was the sickest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ detective game ever i want a chapter 2
Short but sweet detective game with great ambience and style.
Fini en 5h le jeu était vraiment génial !
A very stylish detective game with a twist. I enjoyed the gameplay although the culprit was kind of obvious at the end.
Pretty challenging to find the true culprit. Spent too much time snooping around lel can't help it
Ever wish you could be a weird detective guy with a moustache who can surf people's minds? This is a funny, interesting, challenging and well crafted detective procedural. Dialogue and voice acting are great. At about five hours long, I wish it was longer, but other than that this is very very very very very very very very good (very).
La DA est top et les musiques sont sympas. Traduction en français impeccable. Je commence à regarder des lets play et je me rends compte qu'il y a plein de différentes façons d'avoir les mêmes indices, et d'arriver à la solution. Certains scénarios, voir certains évènements importants ne sont pas les mêmes en fonction des choix pris. Bref, très bon jeu !
Enough red herring to make a decent fish taco. The mini games are fun, the puzzle is challenging, the writing and characters are well done. Probably not much replay value unless you want to clean up achievemnts or fail the investigation in your first play through, which is fair because the ending is not obvious. I will say that I thought it would be more on the quirky and funny side but things got very serious. You are there to investigate a murder, which is serious enough, but that is hardly the only shady thing happening. Forced to make decisions that waste a very real and precious resource (Time) it is very possible to make mistakes and miss evidence.
