This past week Nijman updated the thread with info on a little easter egg. Last year, Disc Room was set in the year 2089. Now that it’s 2021, the game is set in 2090. “Now that it’s 2021, I can safely spoil that Disc Room will always be Set In The Future,” Nijman writes. “It used to be set in 2089, but just so that our ancestors don’t have to deal with the whole “this is the year disc room was set in” drama we add an extra year whenever necessary.” This is a simple detail and a dumb joke, but it’s also a good joke and I love it. It’s weirdly also the exact kind of focus and refinement Brendy praised in his Disc Room review. Now if only they’d update the game’s trailer on Steam, which still says “the year is 2089.”
