Who makes Disco Elysium?

Disco Elysium is a role-playing game about an amnesiac detective investigating a murder, played mostly through conversations and skill checks rather than combat. It was developed and published by ZA/UM and first released on 15 October 2019 on PC. The version sold today is The Final Cut, which adds full voice acting and new content; pegi.info lists it on PC and PlayStation from 30 March 2021 and on Nintendo Switch and Xbox from 30 August 2021. It is sold at a one-off price.
How it plays
Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is a single-player role-playing game in which the player is a detective in the city of Revachol, with a massive murder investigation to solve. ZA/UM describes it as a faithful take on desktop role-playing, built on a unique skill system of 24 skills and a dialogue system that it says lets you do almost anything.
The player explores a city block and beyond, talks to its residents and chooses what to say. The detective can ask probing questions, make observations, intimidate, sweet-talk or resort to violence, and play characters off against each other. Sprawling side cases sit alongside the main investigation.
The character can be shaped further with over 80 clothing items, 14 tools from guns to a torch, and 60 thoughts in the detective's Thought Cabinet. The Final Cut adds full English voice acting, political vision quests and an extra area. On PC it supports controllers, including the DualShock and DualSense.
