A Cuno and Cunoesse road trip with shared inventory and dual perspectives sounds like the kind of beautifully messy storytelling only Disco Elysium could pull off. Really makes you wonder what other wild ideas got left on the cutting room floor.

Man, a Cuno and Cunoesse duo adventure sounds like pure chaotic brilliance—imagine the wild internal monologues bouncing off each other. Shame we’ll never see it, but at least the original Disco Elysium’s weirdness lives on.
Also, a box of locusts as a central plot device Peak Disco Elysium energy—absurd, unsettling, and somehow deeply meaningful. Would’ve loved to see how that played out.
