I've seen it touted as Disco Elysium but in a fantasy setting, and apparently it's good. What is it's relation to Disco Elysium? Is it just inspired by it or are people from the dev team involved in any way? Is it worth checking out?

i'm enjoying my time with it. it's bigger in some ways, and more stripped down in others. the sound design is really nice. games like this live and die on the writing, and the writing in esoteric ebb is very good.

it's not depression quest the way DE was, but it doesn't want or need to be
