Summary

Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan, and John are diving deep into the gritty, surreal world of Disco Elysium—and not by choice! This episode of Hijack a Host sees John reluctantly stepping into the role of an amnesiac detective after a listener vote, forcing him to play one of the most unconventional video games in recent memory. Was the experience worth it? Has John seen the light, or is he begging for a return to Expedition 33? We’re breaking down everything from the game’s unique dialogue system to its political themes and unorthodox mechanics. If you’re into video games that challenge the norms and throw you into philosophical gaming spirals, this episode’s for you. A must-listen for fans of weird and brilliant video games, only on the Video Gamers Podcast!
