the great thing about disco elysium is the way it subverts, then verts, then subverts your perspective of the world building

you think "wait- i thought this was the detective/communism/ alcoholism game- oh shit this isn't our world at all" then you think "ah actually this more or less IS our world with differing history, religion, and geography" THEN you're thinking "oh shit actually this one got GHOSTS in it" then you have to come to terms with the fact that ghosts probably dont exist but peoples' consciousness and voices can be broadcast through radiowaves hundreds of years later AND is that *more* or *less* weird than ghosts. THEN you get told about an eight-eyed bird's psychic abilities but your skeptic bestie is like "no that one's definitely bollocks" but to be honest he didn't believe in the stickbug and the stickbug definitely WAS real, then you're like "okay this is... a.... bit.... like our world. except for the fucking pale, because the fucking pale goes ~Lol, imagine It Follows but instead of A Scary Guy it's the literal concept of entropy and erasure, teehee~" and you have to wonder why people aren't freaking out about that more, except you remember videos of people throwing canned food into volcanoes and shit and think "yeah, actually, on the Elysium equivalent of YouTube there is absolutely a Will It Pale? channel dedicated to throwing shit in there and seeing what happens

anyway, this is all to say that i'm glad the game takes place over ten days, because that means it all takes place in March. So for the longest time I have rightly assumed that the months are the same as on Earth, but knowing this game there is every chance that the following month is called some shit like "Spoom"
