“Disco Elysium Animation” by Anaf Mujeeb

“Disco Elysium / Procreate

 

First things first. Disco Elysium is an RPG game where you, as a highly dysfunctional detective, must solve the case of who murdered and hanged a soldier in the backyard of an inn.

 

Second thing, I can write a thesis on why I think Disco Elysium is one of the best pieces of art and media ever produced ever. A collection of evocative paintings by Aleksander Rostov and team , seminal writing and world building by Robert Kurvitz, Helen Hindpere and an entire team of other talented writers I don’t even know, haunting soundtrack by Sea Power and themes that act as satire, critique and entertainment at the same time. It offers us a window into the lives of people living in a system that beats them down consistently, while also nurturing hope in the indomitable human spirit. And by all means, it is a piece of work that exists despite the nature of our political and economic systems. A true fuck you to an establishment.

 

Thirdly, almost no one I know have even played or heard of thia game, so making long form content for it is not smart in terms of algorithm optimizing. This is my attempt at invoking the Disco fandom, by tagging everyone I know. I hope Sea Power forgives me for not using their music.

 

Also NO AI was used to make any of this. All procreate and mental illness. Disco Inferno.” – Anaf Mujeeb
