ZA/UM Reveals Espionage RPG 'Project C4' Following Years of Studio Turmoil

The creators of Disco Elysium announce a new spy-themed RPG, distancing themselves from their acclaimed debut amid internal controversies and legal disputes.

Project C4 is described as a 'mind-warping espionage RPG' featuring deep dialogue, dice-driven mechanics, and psychological themes.
Players assume the role of an 'Operant' serving a dubious global power, navigating a world of geopolitical conflict and betrayal.
The game emphasizes a 'fail forward' philosophy, rewarding players for navigating failure as part of the narrative experience.
ZA/UM has faced significant internal challenges, including the controversial firing of key Disco Elysium creators and subsequent legal battles.
While not a sequel to Disco Elysium, Project C4 retains some stylistic and thematic elements, with more details expected at GDC.
