ZA/UM’s New RPG Is Similar To Disco Elysium Because ‘We're Still the Same People’

ZA/UM's upcoming RPG Zero Parades shares design DNA with Disco Elysium—isometric perspective, vertical dialogue displays, a "Conditioning" system, and sentient skill commentary. About 35% of the 90-person studio worked on Disco Elysium. Writer Jim Ashilevi said the team didn't pivot direction because "we're still the same people" with the same creative interests. The espionage RPG launches this year.
