Much like some people with drug addictions love Disco Elysium, specifically because of the authenticity it has regarding substance abuse.

That was part of it, as well as the idea of an RPG that represents skills as essentially "shadow work". Very much helped me on my mental health journey!

My pro-fascist brother-in-law with massive social anxiety hated it for some reason..

It was such a masterpiece right up there with The Last Of Us.
