This article explores Depersonalization, an obscure RPG on Game Pass, that offers a unique Cthulhu-inspired experience with tabletop elements. The game features a compelling story, branching narratives, and a range of skill checks, set in a creepy and layered world.
We're checking out the hidden gems of Game Pass over the next few weeks, digging up all the obscure and esoteric games secreted away in our subscription and seeing how they play.
If that sounds like Disco Elysium to you, it does to me as well, right down to the bit where you get to decide just whatof a detective your charming bishonen protagonist is going to be. Almost no skill checks restrict you to single abilities. For instance, to eavesdrop on a conversation I could try to use my Observe skill, my Perception, or just rely on Luck, much in the same way that DE lets both a genius and meathead detective find their own paths through problems.
The good news is that the devs have heard our anglophone cries and promise a better, professional translation is close at hand, with a new batch of English writing for the game coming as soon as this month. You might want to wait for that, but honestly? I recommend firing it up—or its demo—right now anyway. Depersonalization is already a special, incredibly deep RPG even if I do have to re-read the odd line of dialogue a few times.
