“To get anywhere in this world, you’ll need friends. Unfortunately, you don’t have any.” (Translation: To succeed in this universe, allies are essential. Sadly, you start off alone.)

With the original team members scattered due to various changes, the studio’s challenge is to uphold the legacy of its iconic predecessor while exploring new thematic elements. Zero Parades is looking to deliver a fresh experience while retaining the core essence that made Disco Elysium a milestone in the RPG genre.
