Disco Elysium spiritual successor Hopetown plans to "redefine" psychological RPG genre
Independent studio Longdue has shed more light on its Disco Elysium spiritual successor, now officially known as Hopetown.
Now, Longdue has announced the crowdfunding pre-launch for Hopetown, a game it says will redefine "the psychological RPG genre with groundbreaking mechanics and a world shaped by your words". "Set in a mining town caught between decay and transformation, shaped by ambition, exploitation, and the fragile systems that bind society together, you step into the role of a rogue journalist - a chaotic, self-destructive provocateur who sees humanity as inherently selfish and cruel," reads the official blurb. "The psychogeography system transforms how players interact with the game world: emotions, memories, and conversations replace traditional mechanics like keys and levers, becoming the tools that unlock doors, alter landscapes, and reshape relationships," Longdue explained.
