I no-lifed that one the day it came out and beat it in two sittings. I think it doesn’t take itself as seriously as Disco, in a good way. Which like Disco is very humorous and equally absurd, but everything is still in the context of people’s destroyed hope and lack of a future. Ebb is the opposite, where it still uses politics as a basis to talk about people’s relationships, but from an overall more hopeful and forward looking perspective given the context of it being the first election, not a failed revolution. We’re either going to kick out all the non-humans in the name of Urth and make the Coast great again, or establish the egalitarian society we’ve always wanted.
No Ebb spoilers, but it does have some heavy moments that reminded me a lot of Disco’s

ending encounter with the Deserter, and the phone call with your ex-wife
Good game overall even if it didn’t hit me the same way as Disco or Planescape. Unique spin on that kind of game that I think people into stuff like Terry Pratchett would like.
EDIT: Something I don’t really get is the amount of items that have negative stats. Unless there’s super unique dialogue for having extremely low stats like Fallout low INT runs, they all seemed like flavor items that clogged up my inventory.
How long did it take you if you finished it in 2 sittings ? Im still on the 2nd day after 6h. I dont think its as good as Disco but I do think Esoteric is a special little game and im happy it exists. Also yeah Esoteric feels more upbeat than disco.
My final save is about 15 hrs and 49 minutes. I’ve been sick, so I really did just sit and play it for like 8 hrs lol. I also missed two quests that I think can only be picked up in the morning, so could have extended that out a little longer. As far as I can tell, you can enter the ending sequence of the game any time before the dawn of the last day without getting any sort of bad end or lose condition. I didn’t actually try, but I know I had lots of time left that I could have used to finish those quests out if I had started them a day or two before.
