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.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

awesome. it's a great proper espionage story where your character is trying to find some sense in the emotional attachment they have with their former crew, while working in a line of work that puts that attachment at odds with the job. i think the overarching plot was a little on rails for what i expected out of the game itself, but it takes the core themes home really well. le carre vibes. i loved all the characters. the writing also sometimes has that very baroque style that disco elysium had, which isn't inherently bad, but it became a drag in a few sections of the game for me.
我说句离经叛道的,我觉得比极乐迪斯科好玩。 更顶级美术,更平庸无记忆点的音乐,但是更对我胃口,懒得谈场外因素了,我一直只把晦涩政治讨论当场氛围背景板的,所以该作在政治讨论上再故作玄虚我都无所谓,是的,我是来看故事玩游戏的。 流程中后期伏笔和故事性都很棒,我很喜欢。 CASCADE,BE BRAVE

If you enjoyed disco, you'll enjoy this. You get used to narrators voice after 10 minutes and then the game is honestly great. 5 stars.
Если вкратце - эта игра лучше Disco Elysium, с которой по понятной причине все сравнивают, и вот почему: 1) Больше вариативности, игру буквально можно перепройти во 2 раз с другими выборами. 2) Мир более наполненный и структурирован лучше, чем в диско. Тут нет ссанины в уши про огромный внешний мир, который ты конечно же никогда не увидишь, потому что его на самом деле нет. Тут фокус вообще на другом. На самой истории гг, ее прошлом и ее друзей. 3) Крутой шпионаж. Тут действительно есть РПГ отыгрыш героя. Ты переодеваешься, меняешь личности, внедряешься. Это чувствуется. 4) Можно работать на заводе за 20 грошей. 5) Палка делает бум-бум (пистолеты не для красоты, в отличии от Диско, а для конкретной цели) В общем есть много еще доставляющих пунктов, но впадлу перечислять. А вот кто пишет плохие отзывы и пытается похоронить по факту хорошую игру: 1) Те, кто как дол6ае6 просто вирищит повторяя друг за другом одно и тоже, как е6учее стадо, что отжали студию (кому не поxуй наxуй???) 2) Игра начинается медленно и размеренно, и самый движ начинается через несколько часов от начала. Тут да, диско илизиум сходу на тебя вываливает рофло контент. Но диско илизиум становится душнее - чем ближе к концу, тем сильней. А тут наооборот.
Its not Disco Elysium, and it doesn't have to be. Good story.
despite the politics regarding the development of this game, this is a great expansion to the isometric RPG style of disco elysium. if you liked disco, you will like this
This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick. I do roll a ♥♥♥♥ ton of "1"s though. It feels like a bigger Disco Elysium with more options. The main characters arent as good as the ones in Disco Elysium (and its less funny), but I think it does everything else better, including the main storyline.
Do not expect this game to be as strong as Disco Elysium within the first 5 hours. I expected the music to be a great focus within the first hour, just as DE was, only to find almost no music to be present beside ambience. The big focus moments I have seen are great and do have nice music which was a pleasant surprise.
To put it simply, compared to Disco Elysium: it’s less absurd (though still a little weird) and less funny, but more focused and better written. I actually preferred it to Disco Elysium, which I already loved, because I felt much more invested in the story. My only issue was the whole “one unique dice roll per day and limited rests” system. It took me a while to realize that you could simply pass the time (by sitting on the bench near the tree), and the system ended up pushing me to tackle every quest simultaneously: you hit a roadblock in one, switch to another, get stuck there, move on to the next… and so on. I understand the game design idea behind it, but it clashes a little with my very “logical” and “organized” way of approaching quests in an RPG. But aside from that, it was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere, the soundtrack… I still listen to it regularly.
Я тоже был предвзят Со всей этой историей, когда у творца отжимают его детище, которое еще и сумело так громко выстрелить. Вполне понятна реакция людей на подобную «политику» студии ZA/UM. Но… Игра то хорошая получилась. Да, это уже не то Диско с Амброзиусом Кусто, который пахнет осенью, спиртом и абрикосовой жвачкой. Тут нет таких запоминающихся квестов и персонажей. Нет такой драмы и вовлечения игрока в вполне понятные эмоции человека, опустившегося на самое дно в компании собственных демонов. Но, как уже было сказано, Zero Parade – отличная игра. Мне она чем-то напомнила Slow Horses с Олдманом, где все классические элементы шпиономании замешали на основу игры прародителя. Каскад хороша. Вот только открывается она этак часу на 10+, когда ты начинаешь понимать основной квест и то, как он с ней взаимосвязан. Сюжет (и его структура) – на любителя. Он неплохой, но местами сквозь него нужно продираться. Как, впрочем, и сквозь намеренно возвышенный слог. Курвиц куда лучше буковками жонглировал. Музыка и визуал – отвал жопы. Что не понравилось. Основной рассказчик-женщина – посредственна, местами ужасна. Больше никаких песен о маленькой церкви. Навыки скучные. Ну и сам геймплей, когда на протяжении всей игры создается впечатление, что ты не успеваешь по дедлайнам, из-за чего часть контента намеренно пропускаешь. Проверки с кубиками теперь практически не создают запоминающихся ситуаций. Если сможете абстрагироваться от ситуации со студией, то, конечно же, рекомендую к прохождению.
