r/ZeroParades

I just want to thank the ZA/UM team for making the game happen, despite all the criticism, negativity and constant reminder that ZP cannot possibly live up to Disco Elysium.

Narrative RPGs are extremely rare and I'm just grateful you guys made it happen and put so much love and effort into the game for us to explore and enjoy.

Thank you for your passion and dedication.

Guys (and gals) I am having a BLAST! This is giving me that same feeling when I played Disco Elysium for the first couple times. (TO ME) This studio is up there with Rockstar, Housemarque, Super Giant Games, Santa Monica Studios, IO interactive, etc.

ZA/UM you have seriously EXCELLED at your craft at making these beautiful and intriguing mystery RPGs! Thank you so much! I am a fan for life. Take my money and shut up!

It’s out! Hope you all have a blast playing, and I’m excited to read any opinions or discussion that you all may have.

Please try and keep all general discussion, opinions and any technical issues/bugs that you may run into within this thread.

We’re only a wee mod team, so we’ll try our best to keep discussions contained to this thread for the first week or so.

ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS LADS. I’ll be fuming because I can’t play properly until next week. Use the Spoiler Tag and view any content behind the tag at your own risk

She can speak nicely, her voice is beatiful at times. But it feels like she is consciously making her voice unpleasant. I dont think it fits the game. Do you feel the same way?

Play ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies across PC right this second! It's out, y'all!

P.S. Remember, if you need any support or encounter any issues, please reach out to support@zaumstudio.com.

Is anyone else struggling with the controller mode? When using controller input on the Rog Ally X, the game feels super sluggish, and moving beyond options in the pause menu and inventory/skills/etc. takes more than a second, using both the right thumbstick and the DPAD. When I use the mouse and keyboard input mode, it all works really well, and I can hover the mouse between options and the game responds immediately to it.

(EDIT)
Using Steam Imput solved the issue.

The image posted by the community rep earlier said it'd be released at 2AM PDT, but SteamDB says 3am PDT. ZAUM, I really wanted the chance to play tonight :(

Less than 12 hours away, we get to play IN FULL Zero Parades: For Dead Spies. A whole juicy complete game that is going to give us over 40+ hours of mystery, laughing our ass off, crying (maybe), exploring and talking to completely strange NPCs only to laugh our ass off some more.

FORGET THE RELEASE OF RE9 REQUIEM, CRIMSON DESERT, OR SAROS (which were all fantastic btw), what releases tomorrow HAS A 91 ON OPEN CRITIC!!! THE HIGHEST RATED GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Do you understand what that means!? We will be exploring and piecing together a case just like Disco Elysium tomorrow. DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOU PLAYED DISCO ELYSIUM? Or how about the 2nd time where you got to play as a completely different Harry Du Bois and find new and exciting dialogue and endings!

I dont know about you but I am PUMPED to play this game. Can you tell?

The only thing I am hoping for is just one banger soundtrack like the song that played when I stepped into The Whirling for the first time.

Thank you ZA/UM (and Poppy!) Your true fans are here baby!

Also, for anyone who enjoyed this track from the Showcase opener, here’s the full video on YouTube now! I have been terribly singing it for about a week now. 🌙

What time will the game release tomorrow? Does anyone know? ZAUM Poppy are you there!? lol

Also to the guy who was worried about constantly running, if you go watch the footage of the devs play or footage on Steam, the main character IS walking. There must be a toggle just like in Disco Elysium for walk/run.

My only complaint. It just breaks the immersion for me every time my character goes for a run. What felt like a real world in Disco Elysium that your character was traversing feels like a sprint in Zero Parades. Disco Elysium made it feel like you were controlling a real human being, while Zero Parade feels very much like every other gaming experience.

I have no idea why your character runs like Usain Bolt through this beautifully crafted world. I wanna spend time in this world, let it sink in, not rush through it.

I hope there will be some kind of toggle for a more realistic running/walking speed.
