One of the less discussed aspects of Disco Elysium which I like, is the way The game depicts Joyce and Evrart is completely flipped as you play the game.

Joyce and Evrart are mirror images of a sort, but we see how their actions are interpreted differently based (in my opinion) on how theyre respectively depicted. Evrart is morbidly obese, has a facial deformity, appears unkempt, has an unpleasant voice, and is passively aggressive in a grating way. In contrast, Joyce is attractive for her age, well-dressed, prestigious, and speaks in a refined manner. As disappointing as it may be, humans are unfortunately harsher towards people they consider unpleasant.

And so, despite both withholding vital information, "asking" you to compromise your professionalism, wanting an escalation of conflict, and lying about their true motivations/role, the Fandom is more favorable to Joyce while viewing Evrart as an insincere and corrupt mob boss.

But as the game progresses, the player can unveil further information. Joyce knows where the remaining mercenaries are but refuses to tell the player their locations, in one dialogue chain she is non-chalant and unconcerned that the mercenaries are a deathsquad who murdered, tortured, and raped innocents en mass. And most importantly, Harry can realize Joyce is at the top of the company and was one of the individuals who chose to respond to a strike with a deathsquad. When confronted, she does not deny this information, calls herself the face of the company, and accepts responsibility for the mercenaries.

On the other side, several skills claim Claire sincerely wants to better the lives of the citizens, is honest in his stated motivations for the youth centre, and doesn't intend to make the villagers homeless. We also see several instances in which he offers aid to the people of martinaise, either giving them "filler" jobs or sending the hardy boys to help mentally unstable people like the pigs.

At the start, Joyce is depicted as a respectable businesswoman and Evrart as a contemptible mob boss. But at the end, Joyce is depicted indifferent to the violence she caused, and Evrart is shown to be sincere in his beliefs and goals.

there is something so nostalgic and bittersweet about revachol when you're an eastern european.

the fishing village looks like any half-abandoned village near the water. whirling is any semi-decent hostel. yeah, the architecture is run down in smaller towns. there are preserved world war II damages that serve as memorials of all the people who lost their lives fighting or just trying to survive.

you find yourself exploring martinaise and suddenly you're like "oh, renne and gaston remind me of these two old men i knew when i was a child. they were friends and they hated each other. they would always wave at me when i rode my bike past them and said hello."

or, you see cuno and cunoesse and they remind you of these kids you were mildly scared of when you were little because they seemed so tough, when actually they had no support from adults in their lives and were just trying to seem tough to navigate life as best as they could.

or, you meed lilienne and she reminds you of your mum's friend whose children you used to play with. her late husband was an alcoholic and she had to be tough for the kids. she was really nice to you.

you're a cop in a corrupt system, but you're also a man you could meet in real life. maybe you have a man like that in your family. maybe you recognise a bit of yourself in him.

i think it's a part of the beauty of disco elysium. revachol is a fictional city, but all these little things about martinaise make it seem so familiar, a world that you remember from your childhood all those years back, before they build glass skyscrapers and renovated the old houses, and these nice family from city centres started moving to the suburbs.
