Overview

  • Zero Parades debuted during Opening Night Live with a first trailer positioning it as a story‑rich espionage CRPG.
  • A Steam store page is live for wishlists, with no other platforms confirmed at this time.
  • The description highlights an operant protagonist and dice‑driven checks where failure is expected and forces improvisation.
  • Worldbuilding teases foes ranging from international bankers and techno‑fascists to psychic doppelgängers and a paranoid TV presenter.
  • Host Geoff Keighley acknowledged the studio’s changes and introduced the project, previously codenamed C4, as the work of ZA/UM’s current team.
