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.

[code]Luck and skill, CASCADE... у этой игры есть [i]то самое [/i] 9/10 [/code]
8.7/10 Slooow start during the beginning hours, but loved when things got tenser as it progresses throughout. I really liked what they did with their skill system, and the "health" bars. The world, the politics, the groups, and the characters and their motives were easier to understand compared to Disco Elysium. I could be wrong but I heard a majority didn't really like the music, whereas I do! "Superbloc, Baby", "Cover the Moon When I'm Gone", "You but from a Dream" (although the vocals are weirdly placed), and "HOLOCENE" would have to be my standouts. Ignoring the current drama with ZA/UM and without comparing it to its predecessor, overall I really did enjoy this! Also, the final sequences of the game are soooo cold.

说实话，水准远超想象，依我看归零巡礼是只是讲述了一个简单的故事，但过程十分精彩。 很多人觉得流于表面、思想比较浅薄，但意识形态本就不是这一作要讨论的重点，且这种想法显而易见是拿来与迪斯科那个传奇历程碑对比的，这么一看归零巡礼注定活在迪斯科的阴影之下，但我认为他也长出了自己的形状。如果是带着看到第二个迪斯科的期待而来的人那多半会觉得味如嚼蜡，可单纯从一部间谍小说来看，归零巡礼好看到TM爆了
If Disco was a 10/10 this is a 9/10, and if you are gonna negatively review a game because of some controversy than you are a 0/10 .
Incredible follow up to the masterpiece that is Disco Elysium. Thank you ZAUM
It's not disco elysium, but it is a very very good narrative crpg,
An elegant, thoughtful sophomore effort from za/zum that takes the tropes of the spy genre and bends them towards the surreal. I preferred to play it as a refugee from a Le Carre novel and the game accommodated this with grace. Luck and skill, CASCADE
More than anything, this is a thriller. And its thrills reach heights that Disco could match perhaps in one moment only. Play this ♥♥♥♥. Not saying you gotta give your money to any *hustle-grinders*, mind you. But do play it. It does its own thing, and does it real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ well. Don't make the mistake I did, go all in on Action. I've never had so much fun wanging a MOFO in a game. PS:The music kills any track off the Disco soundtrack, singularly barring the exception of La Revacholiere. get fkd sea power :) TL;DR Cool.
Apparently this performed poorly in terms of sales, which makes sense considering I had no idea this was even out. TLDR: + Good first impression + Captivating world and characters - Lack of polish Either way, while Disco Elysium was lightning in a bottle unlikely to be caught again and the disaster that surrounded the devs, I find myself equally captivated as I was for DE. It may change as I keep playing, but it makes a good first impression. And a strong hook is important in a game that demands a lot of patience and attention for you to step into this complex fictional world, much like DE. What I don't like so far is that I feel a slight lack of polish. Many dialogues include voice lines that don't match up to the text, or voice effects like TV and intercom speakers come and go from line to line. Which is a shame because it suddenly breaks immersion in a world that otherwise manages to suck me in.
Thank you for making this. There are so very few games like this out here and when it comes to classic espionage with trippy twists- is there anything on this level? Even close? Also, I'm sorry. I 'f'd it all up', but I knew. "It's Chinatown, Jake" is a vibe you can't miss. I hope the game does well and we see more like it, or perhaps different but similar. Familiar, yet not, as all games set in this 'world' are. For players out there, this is a great game. It doesn't do anything super innovative, its point and click, fetch n find, and make choices. But world-building, theme-setting and strange plot with all the spy twists and turns is fantastic!
