Books that overlap in some way with aspects of the 2019 video game Disco Elysium.

• Mystery/detective stories occurring in an alternate realty, or a dreamlike para-reality, or with obliquely supernatural elements

• "Social" mystery/detective stories where the investigation is really an excuse to explore a snapshot of social contradictions or tensions (this one's probably too broad on its own)

• Books dealing with late capitalist (or post-Soviet) melancholy, lost futures, hauntology

• Books that seem like they might have influenced the writing of the game somehow

• Books recommended by the devs

• Books recommended by players
