so, it is a pet hypothesis but Disco's textual strength definitely supports it and its "connectivity" (so to speak) is hella tight to allow storytelling by implication or subtlety

along the game, you are given subtle hints by the major skills in that regard when dealing with questions related to what basically seems to be a very sinister, sadistic undercurrent of violence at the fringes of Revachol. Cunoesse. Illegal snuff millieus. The Besmirties, the high-level organized crime in the city, which is mainly referenced through the figure of La Puta Madre.

If you have high enough Shivers, Inland Empire and Esprit-de-Corps, you get a couple of insights about questioning yourself about being corrupt that brings out to imagination a figure that likes to tie his peones to chairs near roses while they are pleading for mercy - IIRC there is a mention of that being recorded there. One Shivers check about the geography of Revachol when investigating Ruby - again, IIRC and my interpretation - implies about some nooks and crannies of the city having roses being irrigated with blood from torture. Finally, at the tail end of the game, I don't recall exactly when, there is another Shivers check that mentions a scene with some of the above details along a corpse bleeding with a square hole, which I hope that you have read the previous case files on Harry's ledger to go "omfg".

(I am stretching hard my memory here but the figure mentioned also wears a bow tie, like the one you pick up there?)

bringing all together, I would say that the empty room with the red chair appears to be an execution/torture spot by the Puta Madre (either the organization or the head, but the man with the roses is definitely involved) where they also record the thing for the milieus as a means to enforce authority through terror and get some money from sadistic fucks. The chair has red all over it and Inland Empire mentions that it is blood. With the knowledge that this part of the city is a bloc noir, as Kim points out, a corner of Revachol that does not exist in any public sense, organized crime can definitely use such places for any purpose

like I said it is a pet hypothesis lmao

I can easily imagine Harry tapping himself on the head, muttering 'think, think' while everyone else stands around, awkwardly.

Shouldn't the electrochemistry team up for miss page three disco dancer involve Interfacing instead of H/E Coordination?

YggiDee posted:

Interfacing doesn't care about that poo poo, interfacing is thinking about cars and stealing.

Edit: Interfacing was what I used to pull the bullet from the hanged man's head, if there's one thing I don't want this man associating with sex it's jamming your hand into a rotting skull. Also gardening gloves increase interfacing, and, like, chafing. No.

Every conversation/skill check opportunity should have a red half light - GODLY check you can do. IMO

Is it possible to do delay getting down the body until day 4 and shoot it down with your own gun?

It's possible to not do it at all I think, not sure about the second part of your question though.

Yes I believe there's a Steam achievement for solving the crime without doing that.

There's a Steam achievement for never interacting with the body/crime scene at all. Appropriately called "What Body?"

Right out of the dream with dolores I briefly thought this was intentional.

edit: it actually only disappears my coat (anorak) and shirt (ceramic) when I am standing in front of that bed.

Suffice it to say that there's a lot going on. I don't know exactly what you were told, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
