ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies Review — ZA/UM's Espionage Follow-Up Is the First Game in Six Years to Earn the Disco Elysium Comparison, an Anxious Le Carre cRPG Built Around a Burnt Spy, a Three-Axis Stress System, and Some of the Sharpest Writing the Genre Has Produced This Decade

“ZA/UM did the impossible: a Disco Elysium follow-up that earns the comparison without imitating the formula. Zero Parades is one of the strongest narrative RPGs of the decade - sharper writing, smarter systems, a protagonist with genuine interiority, and a world that rewards slow exploration. A rough first ten hours and an underused Action Sequence system hold it back from a perfect score, but the things that matter sit at the very top of the form.”
