After a Disco Elysium developer put up a tiny framed picture of Kim Kitsu♊ragi at a convention, fans created a shrine of letters to the beloved🧜 character.

It all began last week on September 22, when EGX 2022 in the U.K. first opened its do✨ors on Thursday to the general public. The Twitter user just below noticed that Disco Elysium's booth was actually adorned with a framed picture of the famed Kim Kitsuragi - not a gigantic framed picture though, but rather a tiny one just off to the side of Stu𒉰dio ZA/UM's booth.

. The letter thanks Kim for being an upstanding gentlema♒n to the𝕴ir Harry, just as we'd expect from the detective.

Things really changed 48 hours later. On September 25, the final day of EGX 2022, Disco Elysium fan༒s assembled an entire shrine dedicated to Kim Kitsuragi, complete with i🍎nspirational messages, letters thanking him, and even fan art of the RCM's greatest lieutenant. If you were wondering how based Disco Elysium's fans are, there's even fan art of Harry and Kim getting it on.

Things really did spiral out of control for the Disco Elysium booth at EGX - but in the be🅠st way possible. It turns out the photo of Kim Kitsuragi actually belongs to Studio ZA/UM community and social media manager , who painstakingly took down all the letters to Kim after EGX was done, and plans to assemble the entire lot into a collage for her colleagues. 

Yes, even the "F***ing Cuno was here" one.

Disco Elysium devs were looking for artist with a "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:love for sci-fi and space" earlier this year.
