Ah, sultry whispering. Yes, this basically seems like an ASMR rework of the waking scene in Disco Elysium, in which detective Harry DuBois wakes up slowly to the quarreling sounds of his limbic system and a sense of deep worthlessness.
But here you’ll play a detective on holiday at an Antarctic ski resort in the year 2086, where something has gone wrong. “Now you’re stranded at the off-season resort with unforgettable guests, wild parties, and mad secrets,” say developers Dark Math Games.
There’s certainly more than a whiff of Revachol’s idiosyncratic lingo to the game’s writing so far. “Use Marafet calculations to alter your time and space,” we’re told. Enjoy the “Dopamine Buffet”. There’s also the ability to recruit companions to help you solve cases. I’ll call it now - you will probably fuck your companions.
ZAUM, the studio that made Disco Elysium, becamewracked with internal disputesfollowing that game’s release, which eventually led to employees leaving the company, including key directors like Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov. It looks like those two are not involved in either of these new games though. Regardless of who is or isn’t working on it, I still think XXX Nightshift is an, uh,interestingname choice. Insofar as I expect to see it written in comic sans on the Steam thumbnail of an ass in a g-string. But hey, you still have time to change your minds, Disco people.It’s been done before.
