About
Brilliant, burnt-out, possibly cursed – you play as operant Hershel Wilk, alias CASCADE. Five years ago you led your team into the abyss and have been haunted by your failures ever since. Now you've been recalled for a mysterious assignment that may give you a chance to prove yourself again.
Uncover secrets hidden in the lost corners of the city and within your own mind. Navigate a murky world of potential informants and adversaries. Pass skill checks to uncover their true motivations through subterfuge, violence, or deduction. As an operant, there are multiple ways to approach every problem - your choices and methods will be your own, and so will the consequences.
Find yourself thrown into a three-way struggle for cultural and ideological power, played out across an unforgettable city. You'll go up against international bankers, foreign techno-fascists, psychic doppelgängers, a paranoid TV presenter, a man with a box for a heart, and dozens more. Everyone you meet has their own agendas, beliefs, and secrets for you to uncover and turn to your own ends. In ZERO PARADES, even the world itself is a character with its own secrets, traumas, and miracles for you to discover.
Operants subject themselves to years of psychological training to hone their minds into their greatest weapons. Do you favor animal-like reflexes, a philosophical approach, or a different cover story for every occasion? Through Conditioning, you'll turn the deepest aspects of Hershel's identity into potent abilities and unlock new paths forward. You can even change the rules of the game itself.
Pressures simulate the physical and psychological toll of being in-theatre. Exertion pushes dice rolls in your favour – just remember that you’re gambling with your life. Keep your Fatigue, Anxiety, and Delirium in check or deal with the long-term repercussions.
In this line of work you're going to fail way more often than you succeed. That much is expected of you. What matters is how you pick yourself back up. If the dice don't go your way (and they won't) you'll have to improvise and hope the consequences are ones you can live with.

Second best game🔥
Чтобы ZA/UM не сделали, у них уже никогд не получится переплюнуть Magnum Opus, про который все знают. Не смогут они это сделать по всем известным причине раскола в студии. Уверен, что многие пришли к этой игру потому что игралы в их предыдущую игру, оно и понятно, даже в описании говорится "From the creators of Disco Elysium". Если асбтрагироваться от всего и оценить игру как самостоятельное произведение - то она довольно не плоха, бекграунд у персонажа конечно довольно плоский, не откликается. Визуально - красиво, приятно. Систему перков простая, быстро привыкаешь к ней. В принципе игра ок, 6.5/10, 7 никак не дать, 6 немного низко, если выбрать 6.5 нельзя - то всё таки это 6/10. Если это ваша первая игра от студии ZA/UM и она вам понравилась, то вы самый счастливый человек на земле и я вам завидую, ведь вы сможете сыграть в Disco Elysium в первый раз.
Good game
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is a Rpg must have. It has equal the merits and excellence as Disco Elysium. Although it will go down in history as a shallow attempt to cash in on the brilliance of that masterpiece it has all the talent and interest to stand on its own and you should treat it as such. It has intrigue, interesting characters and a notable setting just like Revanchol and it has probably a better premise that is more palatable to an audience. There's a lot of replayability and charm to it My only complaint is that it takes a bit to take off, but when it does it takes off in a big way. Praying for this company to get itself sorted because if it can come out with something like this without the original innovators it can come out with many new interesting properties.

优秀的肉体续作
Jeśli uznamy, że Disco Elysium to 10/10, to Zero Parades zasługuje na 9/10. DE ma o niebo lepszą muzykę (Sea Power) - to jest wg mnie główna jakościowa różnica. Dobre spolszczenie pomogłoby tej grze, trudnego tekstu jest ogrom.
值得一玩的作品，谁不想急头白脸的扮演间谍来一场缆车上的枪战戏呢
cool
im not done but i dont know why ppl hate the main va so much, she doesnt sound that bad (tho they have a backup va or something for the mc who has a much nicer voice that only appears every now and then for some reason. they dont even have similar voices so i dont understand the point of it but anyway) it scratches the itch that disco elysium gave me, tho ofc its not gonna be the same
