COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Disco Elysium This game follows an amnesiac drunken cop trying to solve a murder and fix his memory . The game starts quite literally at rock bottom with the main character waking up from a multi-day bender with no memory of anything, not even his own name. Despite his amnesia, he’s got a job to do: solving a murder in a forgotten, dying part of a massive city. The world of this game is bleak but we see human resilience in many of its forms here.

Our main character is a man named Conway trying to deliver a piece of furniture to an obscure location that he’s having trouble tracking down.
