Noclip's documentary about the making of Hades is a favorite of mine, but their current series on Disco Elysium is shaping up to be another all-timer. The third episode is out now, and while the first two dealt with the foundation of Za/um as a collective and how the setting of Elysium evolved through tabletop roleplaying and Robert Kurvitz's novel Sacred and Terrible Air, episode three is an anatomically thorough dissection of how it was written.
Honestly, I could have watched another hour breaking down the themes and influences of Disco Elysium. Calling it a rich text is like saying Bill Gates has a couple of dollars. According to Helen Hindpere, writer on the original game and lead writer on the Final Cut, Disco Elysium technically has too much writing—at least for Articy, a tool for writing branching stories that Za/um used.
