Text-based games were a thing long before Disco Elysium, and they'll exist long after it has exited the public consciousness. Right now, however, it is a core part of the social zeitgeist and has led to a resurgence of text-heavy RPGs and narrative games. Citizen Sleeper and Norco are two of my favorites to achieve relative success in ZA/UM's wake, and more are on the horizon. Rue Valley and Esoteric Ebb, in particular, but also a game called Livber: Smoke and Mirrors. This transplants Disco Elysium's text-heavy narrative into a horror setting, and I'm ready to be freaked the heck out.
