Oh boy, I missed that Kim IMMEDIATELY figures it out. Really nice of him to not say anything

[JMANGRUNT]

I found the motor carriage while Kim was away so this made the discovery even more damning, having to internalize it all alone was funny but also quite sad.

[maybeitsmir]

If you choose "Oh god, no..." as your option, Kim responds with “I’m sorry, Harry. I’m so sorry.”
It hits really hard to hear Kim honestly feel so genuinely bad for you

[rafaelfigfigueiredo]

It was really a sad and hilarious moment. The double whistling was so cute, really two friends moment

then the realization

then the realization dialogue

[kaebeelee]

I was so deeply in denial that it was Harry's car before they sat on the swing, then when Kim gently let Harry know it was his car, I was also gently being told. I felt so embarrassed, for Harry. He really has a drinking problem. So I only let him drink twice.

I love how the choices work in this game. Inland Empire is screaming the truth at you, and you can still choose the dialogues that act as if its not real. The psychology in this game is so real

[MythicFox]

Kim and I had already talked about his car, so soon as he mentioned the model of the sunken car I started to put two and two together. When he pointed out the number on the side I actually said "Oh God no" out loud to myself before continuing. Then that came up as a dialogue option and it all felt a little too real for a moment.

this was one of the funniest and saddest things i’ve ever seen in a game

[chs]

If Kim didnt realize it prior, this really soldified how Harry was not messing around about trying to kill himself. Imagine how he must've felt, especially if up to this point Harry's been a fairly brilliant detective and a pretty decent if chaotic person to work with. My Harry always has sad dog desperate for affection energy

[chilldude]

Such a great scene. I realised it was Harry's just as Harry did in the game. I was gobsmacked

[chilldude]

This scene is a great encapsulation of the game. Profoundly moving and hilarious, incisive. It's just awesome

[lxtllcf]

I absolutely love the mounting, horrible dread and understanding in this scene as Kim pretends not to know what is going on.

[iamnuff]

I don't know why, but questioning the name 'Harrier' and Endurance hitting you with "It's meant to keep you safe" always gives me chills.

A mother's wishful thinking. A name to make you strong.

[J.E.L.]

This was the moment I realized just how fucked up Harry had gone

[calamityhex]

I figured it out immediately once i saw the carriage because when Kim was talking about his car I thought "huh i don't have my badge or gun and I came from another town so where's my car? Then I saw the track marks and thought "Oh this was definitely me" but day 3 I was like no. But then no one addressed it immediately so I was like "Oh i guess it wasn't me then that's a relief." But it was.

[atMultiGenre]

thank you for putting this out there, such a great scene to see in it's entirety.

[phosphor]

Amazing scene, and such a sad, and pitying moment.

[SandreXen]

I remember playing this part, feeling the nostalgia of the ambiant... Making harry play a tun by withslting... And then, when the realisation come, ho my god i laughed, i laughed so much. for like 2 minute withouth stoping, i think i even had to take some time to recover. probably one of the funiest scene i ever played in a game.

[gianluca]

i'm so pissed i did this while kim was out with the body

[Heide]

This game is excellent when it comes to making the small things feel memorable. Some of us can tell right away this is Harry's car, while others (like me) don't realize until he does. But it's that instant before the realization when you assume that "oh, it's just an inanimate object we're supposed to feel sympathy for, nothing else to it, the game has done it already" only for it to be crushed by how relevant it is to Harry and therefore the plot of the game. It's not a game you play, it's a game that plays with you. And this constant subversion of expectations topped with a story and character interactions that work EVEN IF you already know what's gonna happen make for such a good time, I've honestly only seen this replicated by Telltale and more recently by Baldur's Gate 3 (which is a game every Disco Elysium fan should definitely check out by the way).

I've yet to finish Disco Elysium so no spoilers! Just very happy I kept playing as I wasn't expecting much other than good artstyle and funny interactions. A pleasant surprise for sure.
