It's such an incredible science fantasy universe, probably my favorite piece of fiction from the past decade.
The political history, nature of reality and shape of the world, even things about how computers ("radiocomputers") work are all fascinating to me. It's a shame what happened to the studio. There deserve to be more stories told in that universe.

- camtarn 2y ago> ZA/UM was, for a time, called Fortress Occident Hah! I've spent some time reading trivia about the game recently, but I hadn't come across this. That makes a lot of sense.
- mariusor 2y agoZA/UM is also the name of a physical artefact in the Disco Elysium universe. It gets used in the novel Kurvitz wrote: Sacred and Terrible Air.
