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.

很久很久没有玩到这么让人触动的游戏了,一代的故事毕竟离我们还是有些遥远,这一代的故事那么近,很多就正在发生……一个荒谬离奇的社会表皮,你方唱罢我登场。看到内斯托尔主义与自主计划时真的很悲伤,要塌的文化宫、烧毁的工厂变成盗版市场、废弃的发射井…… 另外柯特这小子实在太逗了
8/10
Ни одного выстрела и целый автобус трупов. Я невероятно плох))) Надо было убить того сукина сына Лича при обмене, мог бы решиться. Игра хороша и опять оставляет осадок. Приземленная версия диско элизиума, рекомендую.
If you're coming to this game looking for the worldbuilding and life that DE has, this is the wrong game. However, if you want intrigue, mystery, and general strangeness, this is the game for you. The writing may not be as good as DE, but I found the story so compelling and interesting, and I'm honestly sad that I can't experience it for the first time again. [spoiler] Specifically, learning that everything that bagman said on the tv was actually true just filled me with a level of wonder and awe that was damn near unmatched. [/spoiler] This game makes you feel like a conspiracy theorist, and you are rewarded for it almost every single time. I've never had a game make me really feel like I am the character in such an incredible way (besides DE, of course).
Мне очень понравилась игра. это было захватывающее приключение которое не опишешь одним словом. Сложно выделить что-то одно. Даже Диско Элизиум не вызывал у меня желание несколько раз перепрозодить, ради разных развилок в игре, а Зеро Парадайс - с удовольствием. Да, местами забагованная, но это не помешало ею наслаждаться.
Another great one. Hop this time there's a change they are going to continue this and expand the world.
многие очень сильно жалуются на игру, я считаю что игра получилось чудесной. Сравнивать с диско элизиумом не имею смысла, не понимаю тех кто ожидал полную копию дискача, это уже другая игра, смиритесь. Хочу отметить шедевральную озвучку, меня проело как никогда, я испытал от неё полное удовлетворение. Сюжет завораживает, есть свои плот твисты, которых я реально вот не ожидал. многие персонажи в плане раскрытия мне очень понравились, можно было приятно проникнутся их историями. Но, на момент написания отзыва, как по мне, есть несколько очевидных линий разговора которые пока не были сделаны, что немного вредит реалистичности мира, но надеюсь на будущие обновления. на счёт минимальных настроек указанных на странице магазина стима, полная бредятина, мой комп вообще не жаловался ни разу. в общем всем глубоко советую, игра стоит своих денег. А ещё советую не погружаться особо во все судебные тяжбы компании. Конечно хочется повспоминать великий дсикач, и все дела с ними связаны, но лучше просто насладится игрой и не подчинятся технофашизму
Solidna gra. Momentami fantastyczna, momentami trochę meh. Niektóre wątki mogłyby być lepiej dopracowane, a zakończenie mogłoby dawać lepsze poczucie sprawczości, ale jako całość to dalej solidny kawałek rozrywki i rozkminki.
Luck and skills, Operant, The Opera never tires.
Better than Disco Elysium in every way other than the writing
