Disco Elysium

My favourite game of all time. Every character has so much depth in their being. they each have something they care for, people they know, and have their own deep histories that led them to being stuck in a conversation with you. The game sets this cruel world in a way that reflects most of the real world's politics. Child eating billionares have taken over every part of the globe through any propaganda, war, and endless corruption scandalls. All who aren't these child-eaters are stuck trying to get a fraction of their power through working until they retire. You play as a detective in the worst district in one of the many wartorn countries, controlled by global superpowers. He is also an addict to everything, hung up on a long gone ex-something, and has been mentally plummeting for years. You take control of him after he drinks on the job until total retrograde amnesia (so bad he can't remember his own sexuality) and change this blank slate into whatever the fuck you want. Make him worse, make him better, make him a commie, make him obsessed with art, just so long as you can solve the murder of the hanged man who has been waiting to be taken down for a week.
