Hopetown, a groundbreaking nonlinear RPG crafted by Longdue Games, introduces a refreshing twist on narrative-driven gameplay. Established by former employees of ZA/UM, Rockstar Games, and Bungie, the studio has unveiled an initial glimpse into the game's intricate mechanics, presenting it as a spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed Disco Elysium. The storyline revolves around a journalist who wakes up in a mining town after a night of excessive drinking. Battling a debilitating hangover, players must unravel the mysteries of the previous night and navigate a burgeoning local conflict, making pivotal decisions on whether to soothe tensions or exacerbate them.

Screenshots from the game showcase a dialogue-rich experience where player choices profoundly influence the narrative. Hopetown offers various archetypes, each providing distinct dialogue options and interaction styles. For instance, when engaging with an elderly woman feeding pigeons, players can choose different tones that will shape the conversation's outcome, adding layers of depth to the gameplay.
Longdue Games is gearing up to launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project further, with a dedicated page already live on the platform. Although no official release date has been announced, excitement is mounting among enthusiasts of narrative-centric RPGs.
Hopetown isn't the only game taking inspiration from Disco Elysium. Two other studios, Dark Math Games and Summer Eternal, are also developing their own psychological RPGs, adding to the growing genre of immersive storytelling in gaming.
