The static hisses in your ears as you slowly spin the dial. Nothing but warbling data from a planar anomaly. Is there anything at all? A small sadness creeps in.
“...”
Wait! Go back. Between your finger and thumb the hiss becomes a hum and your hairs stand to their end. You hear the sounds of waves roaring; a formidable chorus of water. A small splash, and then...
“... or weaker… now”
“... dying is an art.”
The static returns. But there is no doubt. A man’s voice, one you’ve never heard before, telling secrets from a place that could be anywhere and nowhere at all.

We’re in the business of mysteries here at ZA/UM and so to celebrate the holiday season we’ve just added some new ones to Disco Elysium - The Final Cut. We’re calling this the Jamais Vu Update.
To discover what we’ve done we encourage you to play strangely and thoroughly. You’ll have to do your best sleuthing or get chatting to your fellow players to figure it all out.
We’ll give you a few clues to get you on your way. It is the season of giving, after all.
Perhaps it’s worth stopping a while to admire the scenery
The cold coastal waters are known to wash up the lost
Knock, knock, lieutenant
This is our special way of thanking you all for a HARDCORE 2021 alongside a 55% discount as part of the Steam Winter Sale, from 22nd December 2021 - 5th January 2022. It’s our lowest price ever so if you’re yet to experience the game, get it now! Or if you’re in the holiday spirit, consider gifting it to a friend!
We’re big fans of Remedy Entertainment and everything they do. We were especially blown away by Control so we’ve teamed up with the publisher 505 Games to offer our communities a Steam Bundle featuring both games.
Huge thanks and much love to all our friends at Remedy and 505.
Finally, we’d like to take the chance to take a look back at everything we did this year. It was a lot!

We added Russian to the game

PC Gamer selected Disco Elysium - The Final Cut as #1 in their annual Top 100 Rundown for the second year in a row!
Polish was added, bringing us to 10 supported languages
We also just announced that Turkish is on the way too!
Phew! One hell of a big year for us and one that we’ve been proud to share with you all. Your support helps us remain creative, to push ourselves, and to keep bringing you more surprises. So, go on, have another big thanks from us to you.
Raise a bowl of barszcz to your lips and take a big slurp, friends. Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is now available to play in the Polish language.
Not only that, the game is 50% off right now as we’re part of the The Game Awards sale. It’s the perfect time to pick Disco Elysium up if you speak Polish and don’t own it yet (or want to gift it to your Polish-speaking friends).
We also have some high quality postcards available to purchase over at our online store. They come in a variety of packs so you can pick your favourites or build up the whole collection. They’re the perfect gift for Christmas -- just make sure you get your orders in soon, or they won’t be delivered on time.
We cannot wait for you all to check out Disco Elysium with a distinctively Polish flavour. And we mean that literally, as all of you Poles will be able to find a familiar bottle of red wine in the game, as well as meet our questionable cook Gorący Kubek.
We’re extremely proud of the work that our friends at QLOC did to localize the game into Polish. So please, send your thanks to them for their dedication -- just as we’re thanking you for being patient.
Oh, and this sale marks an occasion, don’t you know? It means it’s been two years since Disco Elysium picked up four awards at The Game Awards. Our little game won Best Narrative, Best Role Playing Game, Best Independent Game, and Best Debut Indie Game.
We can’t think of any better way to remember the occasion than bringing the game to even more people and at our lowest price ever. Please, join us in the celebrations. Na zdrowie!
Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is now half price as part of the Steam Autumn Sale. Don’t miss out on our lowest price ever!
If you’ve been holding off from buying Disco Elysium to see if you can play it in Polish, wait no longer, friends. Polish language support is coming on December 9th.
With all the money you’ve saved with this latest deal, consider treating yourself to the new Disco Elysium merchandise and quality bodywear we’ve added to our stores. In our online shop we have a brand new range of postcards. Perfect for sending a festive message to your faraway friends or just to build your personal collection. There are concept art and character packs so pick your favourites or grab them all. Over in the ZA/UM Atelier we now have a new ‘Revolutionaries’ print for sale. It’s yet another beauty from Anton Vill, the artist behind the unforgettable Thought Cabinet art.
If you prefer, you can also wear this new artwork with pride as we have the ‘Revolutionaries’ shirt for all you daring fashionistas.
That’s all for now. You have until November 30 to pick up Disco Elysium - The Final Cut at this bargain price.
Hello again, friends. We’re happy to announce that Disco Elysium - The Final Cut will be available to play in Polish language on December 9th, 2021!
We’ve been working hard on this localisation with the dedicated and talented team at QLOC. Translating over a million words is no easy feat and they’ve done a fantastic job. We'd like to say a huge thank you to them and hope that you will join us in celebrating and supporting their efforts.
We’re thrilled that we can soon welcome all Polish speakers to enjoy our game in a language that is near and dear to our hearts.
Winter is upon us. The ground freezes over. The air sharpens to a crisp. But it will not last - spring will return to us all, and with it a renewed sense of self. Until then we’ll warm your cold toes with a week-long sale. Light the hearth, get it roaring, and enjoy Disco Elysium - The Final Cut with a massive 45% discount from 8th - 15th November!

Chat with Robert Kurvitz, lead writer and designer on Disco Elysium
Auroch Digital’s Tomas Rawlings gets to know Robert Kurvitz, the lead designer and writer behind the critically acclaimed RPG, Disco Elysium. Discover how Disco Elysium evolved out of physical role-playing games, what inspires Robert in his game design, and just how expansive the dialogue trees in the game are!
When we think of an RPG we often think of a fantasy setting with dragons, elves, magic swords and trolls. However there is a huge amount of titles that opt to be set not in fantasy but in sci-fi settings; with technology, dystopias, space, spaces that feel contemporary, inhospitable planets or a setting that re recognise some and yet other aspects of fantastical. This panel explores the attraction of the sci-fi (or non-fantasy) setting for RPGs and how it approaches world-building.
Remember that we are still optimising the game where possible so please keep reporting issues to us via our bug report.
Thank you to our wonderful community for your continued love, support and incredible fan art!
Steam Digital Tabletop Fest | RPG Edition is a multi-day celebration of tabletop gaming, with featured discounts, a main stage of streaming content, and more.

By the golden light of her lungs! We can hardly believe that it’s the 2nd anniversary of Disco Elysium, now known as Disco Elysium - The Final Cut. So much has happened since our first anniversary…
We announced and released The Final Cut, which features full voiceover, streamer mode, and Twitch integration. We added four more languages and opened an {LINK REMOVED}official Displate shop. We designed and created a ton of new merchandise on the webstore, and launched ZA/UM Atelier, where you can get high-quality artwork and handmade clothing inspired by the game. Did you know we also opened a new ZA/UM website and hosted a pop-up shop in London? We sure did!
And now Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is available on all major platforms. We really have been riding the lightning over the past two years!
To celebrate it all, you can buy Disco Elysium - The Final Cut at -45% off for the week of October 11th - October 18th. Be sure to tell your friends who are yet to play the game (or gift it to them if you're feeling extra generous) so they can enjoy the experience too.
Some visitors were also able to meet a couple of our writers and artists, and had the opportunity to get their hands on signed posters. A huge thanks to the hundreds of fans that came by and showed their support, we truly appreciate it. Be sure to follow our Atelier Twitter and Instagram and sign up to the {LINK REMOVED}newsletter to be notified of future clothing drops.
PC Gamer - Top 100
Continuing the celebrations further PC Gamer recently selected Disco Elysium - The Final Cut as #1 in their annual Top 100 Rundown for the second year in a row!
Once again we want to thank our community for their continued love and support. Kisses to you all.
We’re still being blown away by the incredible fan works that you continue to produce. It’s beyond surreal to us that our characters have captured your hearts and minds. You clearly have as much love for them as we do.
From fan art to tattoos, sculptures and cross stitches, memes and even the odd graffiti, the list goes on and on. Due to the fact there is always so much incredible art and fanworks, it often feels like we don’t have the capacity to see and recognise it all. Please keep sharing your artworks and tagging us in your efforts and know that we appreciate each and every one of you. Here is just a tiny selection of fanworks we have enjoyed over the last year, please show them your support!
Rest assured that we’re still working on continuing to make improvements and optimise the game as much as possible on all platforms. Please continue to help us by reporting any issues you may come across in our bug report.
