(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It's on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.

def Disco Elysium

heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards

it's also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn't shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn't spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it's also one of the most hopeful games I've ever played at the same time

I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scumming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-

I've been staring at python for too long. I read your comment like it was a function

def Disco_Elysium():
    raise Warning("there is no going back")

Hope you did it on Steam. 75% off so $10

I buy all my games on Steam. It's simply the best, and they support Linux and develop Proton.

Sad story about buying this one, though: https://youtu.be/k7Xu4GvpN9U

Yea, I heard. I tried to pirate it and run it from steam as a non-Steam game, but it didn't work ):
