Man dances so hard he See's the future.

It might just be a miscommunication between the writers and the voice actor, but I LOVE the detail of Shivers allegedly "speaking fast because she's afraid" even though she sounds so slow and methodical to our ears. This being what Shivers considers fast and frantic speech really paints a picture of what she’s like normally.

"Officer, what happened?" Asks Lt. Kitsuragi, "I danced so hard I heard the city speak to me. She was afraid, Kim." "Yes, I'm ABSOLUTELY sure you did, now let's get back to the murder inv-" "THAT IS ULTRA HARD-CORE! ONE LOVE, ONE CITY, YEAAAAAAAHHH! ULTRA HARD-CORE TO THE MAX! YOU FELT THE HARD-CORE LOVE!"

Such a Sacred and Terrible Air.

She loves us, you guys.

Just for the sake of info i leave it here: if you have high enough Impossible check Shivers, after you return to the book store to tell to the shopkeeper about the hole in reality in the church, and that is not a curse and an actual hole in reality, you tell her to move to another city for the sake of her and her daughter's safety, the Shivers check says, that it would be pointless for her, for you and the entire Elysium Sorry, if somebody already said it in the comments

Holy shit. Thanks for sharing that. As if this story couldnt get sadder.

Disco Elysium is the alternate history where Harry survived his suicide attempt. Revachol may yet survive in this time, in this place. Keep hope alive.

I cannot perish. Look at me - I cannot end. Be vigilant. You can keep me on this Earth. I love you.

If you have high Shivers you can pass a passive check on Klassje's balcony. The gist of the encounter being that when Revachol finally determines self-independance: The Coalition will completely destroy it...

“I was born to detect you”

It makes this dialog all the more tragic when you read the book set in this game's future

In the light of this revelation, Harry ceased to worry about the heat death of the Universe. He ceased to worry about the Pale, the end of the world, the countless and uncountable ways by which this world could end. He ceased to care about the world he didn't know and would never see, because he had been born in Revachol. This city was the only place he had ever been, the only place he has ever been allowed to exist. He was born here. He was going to die here. And they were going to destroy it. Whatever this city was made of, it was the same stuff that had made him, and they were going to burn it all away. So he ceased to fear the end of the world. It was a world that was going to end him, everything he was, first; so why should he mourn his executioner?

The game hinted the city will be nuked 22 years later, and the whole world will be covered by The Pale 27 years later

This game is so odd and beautiful. The first time I passed the check for this dialogue I actually got shivers.

considering how shivers ends with ‘you can keep me on this earth’ i wouldnt say the future described here is inevitable, more like a worst case scenario. and also hope is a key theme in this game

sobbing screaming crying wailing weeping

Man.. This realy did gave me the strongest shivers I've ever had from the game.

As much as I’d like to experience a DE sequel with a similar beginning, imagine a game with you and Cuno, or Jean, or Kim (you could import your save data) where you have to stop the nuclear bomb as old men. Disco Infernum

Stuff like this convinces me that Harry is an actual Innocence. He's legitimaty got super powers. Even if you don't count anything but shivers, he can literally hear the city speak. And we know he isn't imagining it because you can have no Inland and still get Shivers checks, meaning it's a legitimate connection to the world, using the Pale as a through-line. That metaphor of him being a magnet rubbed against the world is completely accurate. Harry is the Innocence of connection, seeing the pain of the people, himself, the world, Revachol, finding gaps in the fabric of reality. He IS Revachol.. Would be really cool if we ever got a sequel (screw the guys who stole the company) to have a small appearance of Harry being an Innocence and saving Revachol from being bombed by the Moralintern after their revolution and independence.

as long as they are together I believe Harry and Kim can save the city

man, you have to invest heavily to get to this interaction i love that this game seem to have secrets hidden within it and majority of people even the die hard fans will never know all of them

I love her voice she is so methodical and sweet but she seems to really care about harry for some reason weather he is just imaging things or he actually hears the city it really shows that Harry has a deeper relationship with this city than we could ever imagine. and when she ends with that fading and slow "I love you" OgH god simply just chill actually shivers

I weep when I reach this point. It bleeds me mercilessly. It's beautiful and burnt with longing.

This check even without the the high enough reaction speed is in my opinion an Epiphany point for Harry and his journey in this world. The man heard the three words that he needed most in these last days if not years, and not only did he hear them, he heard them in the most sincere possible way, it changed my entire outlook of the game of Harry. If I were to write a part of the game as “hard” cannon Harry would still be a drunk suicidal fool until this point, but after, oh man he has one and only one goal left. Protect Revachol and her people, she loves him, truly loves him, he already lost that once he won’t let this one down… he can’t.

“I love you.”

2 years later and I didn't even know you can do this. Disco Elysium just keeps on giving man.

In light of the moves being planned at the end of the game (if taken back into the force), it makes me wonder if either the bomb is used by the Coalition or some other anti-Revachol faction in open warfare, or (also why RCM would be able to "protect" against it) planted in the city as an act of terror by some other actor.

"In 22 years, the first shot will be fired. Not a shot from a gun -- an atomic device that will level all of me. All of me."

Hits different after reading Sacred and Terrible Air

Thank you for posting this!!!

This actually made me tear up.

I get goosebumps when she speaks

Oh, so that's why I don't remember anything about the nuclear bomb. I got this interaction, but my Reaction Speed was way too low to get that particular bit.

Welp, time to stock up on irradiated soda pop, bottle caps, big ass power suits, and replace disco with with 50's Jazz jams!!

This gave me legit Shivers.

I think Revachol generally talks in way, way longer wavelength or perhaps language when she generally presents(talks or communicate) as the city or the land of the people who reside within. Just small interactions like leaves falling, birds flopping, and stuffs that you literally interact as citizen of Revachol The way she usually communicates with her own people must be scattered around herself among mundane life of her people So when Revachol tried speaking directly to Harry(player) in the form of our language, she needed to compensate her preferred way of communication(interaction) Compared to her usuals, she needed to condense and even shorten her language itself, for her beloved resident to successfully understand what she is trying to alert imidiately Therefore, I think the dialogue of Reaction Speed telling the player Levachol is talking 'fast' must be just an indication of herself being urgent and chose to reveal herself in the form of our language, not herself 'literally' talkin fast

Spoilers: During the moralist quest, you can hear Kim speak through the static. Kim waves it off as pale storing all info of the past. During the final stretch of the story, Kim speaks the exact dialogue (something to the effect of "Wires are frozen due to a long winter.") meaning the dialogue is from the future. BUT! It is possible as a player to keep Kim out of the island by letting him get shot, thus altering the future. Would this mean that Harry, The Super-star Cop of the Apocalypse, has the potential to protect Revachol from nuclear annihilation using ability to alter future!

I love that shivers is like, the only thought Harry has that isnt distinctly his per say, being communicated with shivers being the only thought to have a different voice, La Revacholiere

Major spoilers for Sacred and Terrible Air, the novel published before this game's publication taking place in the same world. The bomb does drop.

You know, I think he cant do it, I think Harry will actually fucking do it

From that egg head to basically ascension and this. It was just greatest experience that I could ever asked for video game in my life.

Pretty sure you can also trigger the Nuclear Bomb bit with enough Rhetoric.

The writing of this game, is phenomenal. Phenomenal is putting it mildly. Every sentence, I can imagine it, I can feel it, I can taste it. And the voice over is perfect, mermelade pours from my ears

she loves us 🥺🥺🥺

Thanks for sharing that, I got the first part but my reaction speed wasn't good enough to catch that middle bit. Literal shivers :')

Aaaaa,the city love us,how cute☺️☺️

Fun fact. Irl the USA nuked two imperial Japanese cities at the end of ww2 to flex on the Soviets at the negotiating table. The imperial forces could've been blockaded into starvation even on the mainland. Just airbomb the farms. The Yankees were never going to invade the mainland. It was about sending a message in time where your enemy couldn't retaliate. Note how in the game the pawnshop owner talked about the people trying to set up nuclear power? If allowed their universe may have had a cold war If inland empire and shivers could elaborate on the matter it would be wild

Shivers is a weird skill, i still dunno if he (the man shivers) is the city or its representative, or she is (the women shivers) the city or the actual shivers. Also cant wait for disco elysium 2 where this might become a plot point

i love revachol, i hope she loves me too.

Shivers is the best

I really like her voice.

If a man can dances so hard he created a future of Revachol being nuked, what's stopping him to create a future where Revachol is not being nuked?

Imagine if this was the follow up game, fine the nuclear bomb

Who would know that the world would end in just 30 years from '51...

The only woman (other than my mom) who loves me (Thank you mom and la revacholiere)

"Lidé, měl jsem vás rád. Bděte!"

...and only Harry can find and disarm it. Or else... boom.

Who does the voice? Honestly this makes me cry every time I hear it. It’s when she says “all…of me”

SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK!!!! Revachol really was nuked 20 years later, during the events of “The sacred and terrible air”. I think it was the ICM’s effort to combat the spread of the pale but it made things worse. It happens during the end of the world, where the pale slowly begins to destroys the mundi of Vaasa, supposedly caused by the 3 protagonists looking for their 4 missing classmates/girl-friends, who went missing 20 years ago. Looking at this game after reading that book breathed new interest for me.

Holy shit, Garry the cryptofascist's channel

We need a sequel game about this!

So me and a friend had a massive argument of if the world in disco elysium is going to end soon or not. We both agree that in disco elysium perception defines reality. (If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it, it doesn’t make a sound). Unlike real life. It boiled down to my argument that if you have alot of red skills, (which are all obessed with the end of the world) then of course you think the world is going to end soon. And becuae of how reality works in disco elysium it will end soon because you think it is. He was arguing that it will of you think it will or wont, but my 1pys guy never got a any inclination that the world was about to end. And the game very much had thr vibe of "this crap hole will always be a crap hole" That being siad, my friend is the type of guy who thinks every time a person in the military sneezes that ww3 has started and were all going to get nuked any day now. While i think we all have plenty of time on this miserable rock. Funny how disco elysium mirrors your own views back onto you

Wait I did the dance thing and I don’t remember this

MUST PROTECC

ben bir ceviz ağacıyım revachol parkında

Quiet?

When does this trigger?
