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.

Very great story and gameplay very much like Disco Elysium, with some added differences. Overall, definitely a must play if you are a fan of Disco Elysium.
First name Boat, last name Man. What a banger. Play it.
Don't go in expecting a Disco Elysium 2, it obviously takes in some of it's footsteps but its certainly going for something different and new. Overall a good game
ไม่เคยคิดว่าจะชอบเกมแนวนั่งอ่านอะไรเยอะๆเลย เพราะปกติไม่ชอบอ่านแถมเกมยังไม่มีภาษาไทย แต่ด้วยความที่อยากลองฝึกภาษาเลยซื้อมาเล่น แรกๆรู้สึกฝืนๆแต่พอเริ่มปะติดปะต่อเรื่องราวได้ รู้ตัวอีกทีก็เช้าซะแล้ว จมอยู่กับเนื้อเรื่องงานภาพรู้สึกคุ้มกับเวลาที่เสียไปและยังไม่เคยนั่งหลับหน้าเกมเลยสักครั้ง (ปกติเวลาอ่านอะไรเยอะๆจะง่วงและหลับ) โดยรวมก็แนะนำให้ซื้อถ้าหากชอบภาพแนวเกม Let it Die และพร้อมจะจมไปกับเนื้อเรื่อง ที่ไม่ต้องพร้อมที่จะเข้าใจ แต่มีนัยยะแฝง "ผิดพลาดหรอ ? ไปต่อสิ !"
It's great. If you (like me) loved Disco Elysium, this scratches that itch in much the same way. Anyone who tells you not to play because they don't like the developer can eat a ♥♥♥♥.
即使是在不考慮“前作”極樂迪斯科的情況下，依然是一部敘事與背景、價值觀與遊戲內容嚴重脫節的作品。間諜這一職業“暴露即死”的性質與迷幻rpg“主人公不斷做出引人注目的怪事”的特色之間的衝突、以及類冷戰的懷舊背景和高度現代化的角色之間的衝突都沒能得到製作組的有效解決。當主人公搭檔的傀儡穿著內褲到處跑而沒引起任何警察系統的注意時，這遊戲我覺得也到頭了。不推薦任何對冷戰、間諜題材或豪劫題材有興趣的玩家遊玩，重視角色性而可以忽視這些要素的玩家可以考慮入手。
It pains me to say that Zero Parades is an slightly weaker iteration of Disco Elysium, ZA/UM's previous game. However, it is an excellent game nonetheless. Give it a try!
- Is it a good Disco-like game? Yes. The main quest / narrative is very good. - Is it better than the previous one? Sorry, but no. This game is in my top 3 Disco-like games, but it's not 1 and it's not 2. The writing tries several times to be 'whimsical' and it feels insincere. Like someone trying to copy something, but not knowing what made the original work. There are like 3 characters that I feel should've been rewritten entirely. The politics are very one-note. You play a communist maybe idk?? She has no real political opinions as far as I can tell. I don't think there's a single communist in this game that actually believes in their ideology or thinks it stands for anything. The 'communist party' skill in your head doesn't even seem to know anything outside of internet stereotypes. Also Disco had an amazing soundtrack. This one was milquetoast at best.
在游戏性和美之间的取舍
"Шедевр на уровне с диско элизиумом". после прочтения негативных комментариев, о том что студия не оправдала ожиданий от игры, я отнесся предвзято к прохождению, но поиграв я понял что эта игра войдет в топ лучшего, во что я играл "на уровне с диско элизиумом".
