Games like Disco Elysium? (lemmygrad.ml)

Anyone knows any games like Disco Elysium? I don't expect them to be as high quality and fleshed out since DE is an extreme outlier.

Disco-like in what aspects? Mostly I was looking for dialogue-heavy good writing that is funny. Less to no emphasis on combat. Disco Elysium is easily the funniest game I have ever played and I don't think it will be beaten ever.

I found an under-development game called Esoteric Ebb which has a demo on Steam. It is a bit rough around the edges but the writing is alright even though I don't really like stuff set in DnD universe.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank.

For "dialogue-heavy good writing that is funny" I'll recommend the short visual novel We Know The Devil. It's a magical realism game about people trying to survive a bible camp. It takes about three or four hours to go through all the routes. The thematic sequel Heaven Will Be Mine is also really good, but I would say it's on the Less Funny side (it's probably funnier if you're a lesbian?). the characters and themes in both are really damn near as good as DE.
