Detective RPG in the works from "breakaway group" of former Disco Elysium developers

A new UK-based studio founded by former Disco Elysium development staff is working on a detective role-playing game.

XXX Nightshift will be the first project from Dark Math Games, which describes itself as a “breakaway group from the original development team of Disco Elysium”.

The team now has 20 members, including Disco Elysium veteran and art director Timo Albert.

Dark Math Games says XXX Nightshift will be a “deep single-player role-playing experience with many tools and layers of gameplay”.

“Set in 2086, you play a Patrol Op, Dinorah Katz, who is stranded at a luxury ski resort in Antarctica,” a description reads. “This original science-fiction setting lands you in a resort that shouldn’t exist with people that you shouldn’t know with the endless polar night covering a multitude of sins.”
