I just started playing Disco Elysium, I'm about 3 hours in and I have no idea what I'm doing. The voice acting is fantastic though, so that's nice!
Yeah I've put about 5 hrs off and on and the entire time just feel like I'm fucking it all up.
That’s a normal feeling, and one that I think is intended. Disco Elysium is a game that is, fundamentally, about being a fuck-up.
Congratulations that means you are getting into the vibe
The game is least forgiving in the first few days, after that, it really opens out into people remembering the choices you've made in the game. Even if you've still been making bad choices, it's pretty fun from there.
I too am taking advantage of the summer sale and am about 20 hours in and still wildly infatuated with this weird, weird amazing game.
After a while you start getting a slightly better idea of what's going on, but that doesn't make it more "game like" if anything, the more you learn about the game, the more it reveals itself to be a giant tool to explore meta-narratives and there are some moments of conversation regarding this that are absolutely chilling.
just remember to save often, it autosaves rarely and it will likely force you to load a save many times, especially early on
I'm currently about 25 hours in. It's so damn good.
