      It is real, though from what I remember its unlikely to ever be completed since they have about 30 people volunteering to be writers and like 5 people willing to do anything else. The usual problems of trying to make a volunteer fan game with strangers on the internet, its quite literally the opposite of how Disco Elysium was actually made. My main take away from the no clip doc was how suprisingly well funded DE was, there is probably the makings of a ZA/UM in every country that never sees the light of day.

        Looking at the account of op, too many cooks in the kitchen is one of many things. Probably gonna go the way of many indie games: all ideas, no builders, main dev burnout, turn over, turn over, project cancelled and then released as an unfinished alpha.
