Love this so much. Sure the price is steep and I need to check whether I can afford it, but I love them starting off with such an artsy product rather then a game. It seems much more in common with what the ZA/UM art collective originally was
Argo Tuulik was a minor shareholder and part of the coup of Ilmar Compos who ousted the original creators and inventors of the elysium universe using legal exploits.
Robert Kurvitz the actual creative force behind disco Elysium has been barred from telling stories of this own world because he no longer holds the copyright.
The people who are trying to sell this “successors” are the people who robbed us from learning more about this world.
Argo Tuulik along with Martin Luiga were players in Robert Kurvitz’s Elysium TTRPG sessions, perhaps less important than Robert in the creative process and world building but still definitely participating enough to be considered co-creators of the setting. Torson and Mcclane were characters created and played by Argo and Martin during the tabletop sessions, for example.
Argo Tuulik was also a writer for Disco Elysium who was hugely important to the game, and wrote several iconic parts of it like the Hardie Boys. His involvement in trusting the people who betrayed Robert is something he personally regrets, and has talked about in his extensive interviews with the 41st Precinct YouTube channel.
It’s such a shame too because Disco Elysium’s world has some of the most unique and dense lore I’ve ever experienced.
I would really like to experience The Pale, maybe as a courier, as their memories bleed into static and forget who they are, moving between Isola’s on intuition and qualia alone.
The kinds if fucked up storytelling The Pale enables is cosmic level absurdity mixed with psychological horror. Yet the new devs will probably just make ‘le communist simulator 2.0’

EDIT: Argo Tuulik’s interview series below. Be warned it’s like 20 hours of content. Interview part 1 Interview part 2 Interview part 3
ZA/UM - The Inside Story Part 1 ZA/UM - The Inside Story Part 2
So downvote and ignore it is.
