Zero Parades is, if you ask its creators ZA/UM, a lot of things. It is an espionage CRPG. It is a character study of Hershel Wilk, the burnt-out, fallen-from-grace spook you’ll be playing as. It is, as I’m told before being shown some very early footage of the game in motion, “a story about failure, and about crippling regret.”
It’s also, quite nakedly, a Disco Elysium successor, perhaps the most overtly Disco-y in what’s set to become a bizarrely crowded field. Some will like that, I imagine. But it’s odd to see Zero Parades cling to the past, while so explicitly asking you to confront it.
