I was already intrigued by this Disco Elysium-inspired, D&D-based RPG where you play as the world's worst cleric, but its demo blew my expectations out of the water (www.pcgamer.com)

I'm interested. I do wonder if the attribute system of D&D 5E will provide enough granularity for the voices in your head. I'm also definitely seeing more of an "what if Disco Elysium, but D&D?"-vibe rather than merely inspiration. For me personally that means this game will start as an uphill battle simply due to how similar it is, but ultimately the only thing mattering will be the quality of the writing.

The lawyer imp sounds amusing, though when you start thinking too much about stuff like resurrection magic the internal logic of the world usually starts falling apart. But maybe they're leaning into that.

I'll definitely check out the demo.
