One thing about disco elysium that really intrigues me is how it doesn't exactly break the fourth wall, it bends it. It doesn't have anything explicit where either the narrator or Harry acknowledge that "hey we know we're in a video game", but Harry's video-game-y-ness is still acknowledged and either explained by Harry's character or acknowledged that this is a weird thing that Harry does and not how Normal people act. Real life people don't constantly zip from one "interactable" object or "container" to the other, but Harry does because that's just the preferred method of officers in his precinct. Real life people can't/don't run everywhere they go, but Harry does/can. Because he used to be a gym teacher. On the other side of the "weird", it's a total mystery to everyone else how Harry can get people to just reveal anything he wants to know. That's just how Harry is. It's weird, and people acknowledge how weird it is. He literally has a reputation as the "human can-opener". Real life people don't speak in "lists" or "trees" of questions, and Harry can even acknowledge that he only has a limited number of "options", to which everyone replies "What the hell are you talking about." Many people can even remark how much Harry loves questions, which Harry usually just chalks up to being a cop, but that's never the full answer. So Harry is either the weirdest person in the world because Normal people don't act like video game protagonists, or he's the only normal one because he's the only one who's actually acting like he's in a video game (which he is).

a thing I think about a lot in like. the background. is how much deltarune doesn't want you to do snowgrave. like it feels like way more than just like writing convenience; in undertale, even if you fail no mercy, things get distinctly worse results-wise the further on the path you got. but snowgrave failures get like... almost forgotten. almost set aside. noelle acts like she's waking up from a dream and moves on, maybe coming up with some quick justification. berdly assumes you're messing with him. a little jingle plays. the game resumes like nothing ever happened (minus the fairly soft neutral route consequences).

and ofc it's Hard to do snowgrave! the conditions are so weird and obscure that like. it's so easy to mess up. if you fight the wrong way, if you don't go out of your way to a dumpster, if you don't have the ring... no matter how much violence you're doing, if you're doing it out of step w this weird process, you get shunted back to normalcy

it adds to the like creepypasta feeling people have talked abt (how many video game urban legends have all these weirdly specific steps that lock you out if you're not careful) but like... also... it feels like the dark world is, like, fighting you. trying to get things back on the rails. there's a story that it wants told of heroism and success, and all the small failures of that get pushed under the rug as soon as it can manage. the story wants to move on. it doesn't care if that means ignoring a lot of deaths and violence; it wants Noelle to reconcile w Queen, to realize her strength, to move forward, no matter what she's like. done.

it's only when something you do affects the light world that there's really no turning back.
