Have you tried NORCO?

I've heard good things, but I've only played the voiced-over version of DE - I'm not sure if I'd be down to read everything, and the different voice actors really add another layer

never heard about NORCO, but steam reviews look great. I'll try it when I'd be itching for a point n click

Yeah, I was interested to know how they compare

Unfortunately the last update to DE introduced a very annoying audio stutter (they're supposedly trying to get it fixed)

torment is better imo with writing on par with disco. Disco is great but depressing. Torment is more escapism while still being similar to disco in that it's intensely original like nothing you've ever seen before.

Coincidentally, I've never played Torment and installed it just 2 days ago.

Disco's world is depressing, but because the world is so dark, any light in the game stands out so much more. It's depressing world make good people in it and any small kindness matter.

torment is pretty dark too. It's gritty and harsh, but it leans more in the fantasy direction rather then down to earth the way Disco is.

Also disco is more of a slice of life while the plot of torment though still incredibly dark is more epic. Disco bleeds immersion. But to achieve it they stripped out pretty much all the fantasy elements out of the setting and story. Torment manages to achieve immersion while at the same time making the setting more epic and fantasmic then anything you've ever even seen. The writing and setting is better then basically almost every fantasy novel out there.

In fact Disco reads more like a contemporary novel then it does fantasy or sci-fi. Torment is grounded in fantasy but it's dark and gritty enough that it doesn't feel fake like the final fantasy games. I would say it lies somewhere in between a standard bioware RPG and Disco.
