Hey folks, it's been a while! I'm here today with a giveaway for a key to one of my favorite games ever made, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. I am so excited to share this amazing game with whoever wins this giveaway! Be warned however, there are a few things you might want to consider before entering:

  • This game features some very intense content that some people might find disturbing or at the very least depressing. It also has some humor and imagery that some may find offensive.

  • There is some serious controversy surrounding the creation of this game and things that happened afterwards that lead to multiple followup projects being canceled and a very messy split with the original concept's creator and the company behind the game. Read more about this here if this is something that may concern you and sway if you want to play the game.

With that stuff out of the way, what is Disco Elysium? According to the Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/632470/Disco_Elysium__The_Final_Cut/

A groundbreaking role playing game. You’re a detective with a unique skill system at your disposal and a whole city to carve your path across. Interrogate unforgettable characters, crack murders or take bribes. Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being.

Honestly in my opinion though, this doesn't even begin to describe the chaotic intrigue that this game is. I highly recommend this one if you played Baldur's Gate 3 and want to play something similar, albeit a lot different in themes and gameplay. This is also quite a bit shorter.

Anyway, so how do you enter? All you have to do is:

  • Comment telling me what games you've been playing recently or what other
  • Wait till Friday, June 28th at 10am CST to see if you won! A random comment selector tool will decide if you win. If you do I'll comment on your reply to this post telling you to check your DMs where you will find the key to the game!
  • (Optional) Share this post with a friend or fellow lemming to let them get a change to try and win this gem.

Thanks for reading the post and thanks for entering the giveaway! Good luck folks! If you have any spare Steam keys lying around you want to get rid of, this is a great place to do so. DM me if you have any questions!

~ Hyrulian

Unfortunately the first two people I tried to send the key to did not respond to my message. I'll be trying some other folks in the coming days! Thanks!

I’ve spent time on Tears of the Kingdom lately, and as always, Minecraft.

[–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Been playing BG3, Dota2, and Stardew Valley. I like to play my games slowly so I haven't finished BG3 yet. Disco elysium has been on my wishlist for a while, regardless of winning or not, thanks flr the giveaway!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Congrats! You've won! Check your DMs and please respond to this comment once you redeem the key!

[–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Redeemed! Thank you ♥️

[–] MMNT@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Cool. I've heard this is an awesome game, but haven't had the chance to play it. Right now I'm just blowing off steam with a 10 year old game - NFS Rivals.

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

I've been playing civ 6

[–] Unimperfect@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Been trying to get through Elden Ring so I could prepare for the DLC. I might be ready sometime next year.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Drawing for the winner tomorrow at 10am CST! In case you don't win, Disco Elysium is in the Steam Summer Sale for $4 starting today!

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I've been wanting to pick this one up, but the ZA/UM drama had me hesitating.

In the meantime, I picked up Skyrim again, and while the main quest stayed the same I'm floored by the amount of flavor content that was added since my last playthrough a few years back.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

I have been battling with bloodstained ritual of the night the switch version has problems with the cutscenes. Been planning to pick Darkest Dungeon and/or Rain World

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dude you're back!! Glad to see you active again

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been lurking and modding from the shadows! Still have a lot of keys to give out but I was waiting till the community became active again lol.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've entirely fallen out of participation at all, got some horrible news about a year ago and haven't been the same since. Glad I didn't take you up on helping you moderate, I'd be feeling even worse right now.

I'll try to toss some games up this weekend.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Damn that's awful. Hope things start looking up for you soon chief.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Waiting for the other shoe to drop, they were given 6-12 months and that was 9 months ago, so every moment is precious, then the real shit begins... Changes are a coming.

[–] Psymonkee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Stardew Valley has been a life saver during bouts of insomnia.

Other than that BG3 and Golf with your Friends.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Mostly playing the new Duos mode in Hearthstone Battlegrounds. Also gave Endless: Legend a spin after the giveaway, and finished an infamous SNES title from 1994 called Lester the Unlikely. Summer is off to a nice start.

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for running this giveaway! I've heard such good things about this game - this could be a chance to finally check it out.

Been playing a lot of Project Zomboid lately. The only limiting factor (besides work of course) has been my friend's schedules - I never seem to get burnt out on it. And with Build 42 just around the corner, I'm very much looking forward to raising chickens!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm very excited for Build 42 as well! The art pass they did on the buildings has me really excited (and basements of course).

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I was never that bothered by the flat rooves, but seeing how much nicer it can be has definitely got me stoked, haha.

[–] titaalik@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I‘ve been playing Ghost of Tsushima lately and I‘m eagerly waiting for the Seamless COOP mod for the Elden Ring DLC to get ready so I can play it with some friends.

I‘d love to get into Disco Elysium

Thanks to you for doing this great giveaway!

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah I'm regretting refunding Elden Ring on PC because the performance was bad. I rebought it on PS5, but I really wish I could check out the Seamless Coop mod. Might have to double dip during a sale.

[–] UnityDevice@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago

That's been on my wishlist for a long time.

Recently I've played a lot of demos from the Steam Next Fest. Before that I think I finished Heaven's Vault, I can dearly recommend it.
