- ZA/UM also confirmed that the game will not be optimized for the Steam Deck at launch
ZA/UM Studio, the developer behind Disco Elysiumis releasing a new game this year, and fans will be able to try it out as part of the Steam Next Fest later this month.
On February 23, a free demo for Zero Parades: For Dead Spies will debut on Steam, allowing those on the Valve platform to play the opening part of the upcoming game until March 16.
“Set in the city-state of Portofiro, the demo offers a customized version of the game’s opening, including two full quests, various side activities, and open-ended environmental exploration. Players can choose from three different character archetypes, each offering strong replayability,” ZA/UM teased.
“The game’s dialogue system embraces the idea of ’failing forward’ – every door closed is an open opportunity to go through the window instead. Be sure to check out how different choices and skill checks can change the outcome of any event.”
While controller support will not be available during the demo, it will be available upon full release. ZA/UM also confirmed that the game will not be optimized for the Steam Deck at launch, “but it will run, yes.”
Look at
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is an espionage role-playing game (RPG) that puts the player in the role of a brilliant but tormented operative on a last desperate mission.
“Meet the demands of your task by hunting down secrets hidden in the architecture of both the city and the human mind. Cooperate and clash with informants, loyalists and agitators,” reads the description.
“Pass skill checks to unlock them and improve your abilities with the experience you receive. The choices you make affect everything: the loyalty of your friends, the paths you can take, and the fragility of your mind.”
The game also features a similarly beautiful art style that made Disco Elysium stands out, as well as dramatic encounters, choice-based consequences, skill checks, complex vertical dialogue trees, and more.
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is slated to launch in 2026 for PC and PlayStation 5.
