Disco Elysium is a groundbreaking open-world RPG by ZA/UM where you play a detective with amnesia in a crumbling city. The game is primarily mouse-driven — you click to move and interact — but a set of keyboard shortcuts gives fast access to the inventory, journal, map, thought cabinet, character sheet, and other critical panels.
