The co-author of Disco Elysium was given a restraining order from working on a new game – what happened

Disco Elysium co-creator Argo Tuulik, who founded the Summer Eternal team, spoke about prosecution by a person involved in two studios of former developers of the detective RPG from ZA/UM.

As Tuulik reported on his microblog, he was sued by Riaz Moola, chairman of the board and investor of the Longdue studio. The team is developing a “psychogeographical” RPG that continues the work of Disco Elysium.

Mula’s e-learning provider CoGrammar, acting on behalf of Longdue, obtained an injunction against Tuulik preventing him from working on the Summer Eternal game until April 2025.

Tuulik added that he also received “baseless legal threats” from his former employer, with whom Mula allegedly collaborates to confront Summer Eternal and Dark Math Games (a third studio from ZA/UM).

Judging by photographs of the letters Tuulik published, CoGrammar accuses him of “violation of contract, confidentiality and copyright,” and ZA/UM of “serious violations of legal obligations to the company.”

The PC Gamer journalist also claims that he received a letter from Mula from the Dark Math Games email address, in which the businessman signed himself as a co-founder of the studio. The team is currently working on a detective RPG – XXX Nightshift.

What exactly happened between all the listed participants in the process remains a mystery, but the level of complexity of the conflict is reminiscent of the scandal that split ZA/UM in 2021.
