Honestly to get something "as good" in the same way you have to leave the realm of games.

In the domain of shows, I think Andor was not really as good but at least in the same ballpark. The domain of books has a few more possibilities: Babel by R. F. Kuang, October by China Mieville, Iron Council by China Mieville, The City and the City by China Mieville (the setting is very similar to Revachol), and The Dispossessed by UKLG.

Disco Elysium fans are always like "it's like literature" yeah so what you're looking for is literature, motherfuckers

The City and the City by China Mieville (the setting is very similar to Revachol)

I think there's an interview somewhere that the DE creators cited this book as an inspiration (among other cool things). Great read!
