Summary

  • Longdue Games has released the first glimpse of their RPG Hopetown, a spiritual successor to the popular game Disco Elysium

  • The game is expected to launch on Kickstarter soon

  • Hopetown is set to merge the emotional depth and psychological intricacies of Disco Elysium with the philosophical complexities of Planescape: Torment

  • The graphics look visually stunning, with a colourful palette and a painterly style

  • However, the dialogue leaves much to be desired according to the article, with the player character talking about shitting in their drinking water to a pigeon feeding old lady

  • Despite this, the article concludes that it looks interesting and beautiful and hopes that the final result lives up to the intriguing premise.
