- A free demo for Zero parades: for dead spies will be available during Steam Next Fest this month
- The demo is released on February 28 and will be playable until March 16
- ZA/UM also confirmed that the game will not be optimized for Steam Deck at launch
ZA/UM Studio, the developer behind Disco Elyséeis releasing a new game this year, and fans will be able to try it out as part of Steam Next Fest later this month.
On February 23, a free demo for Zero parades: for dead spies will debut on Steam, allowing users of the Valve platform to play the opening portion of the upcoming game until March 16.
“Set in the city-state of Portofiro, the demo features a customized version of the game’s opening, featuring two full-length quests, various side activities, and open-ended exploration of the environment. Players can choose from three distinct character archetypes, each offering strong replayability,” ZA/UM said.
“The game’s dialogue system embraces the idea of ’failure’: every closed door 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.
Although controller support will not be available during the demo, it will be available during the full release. ZA/UM also confirmed that the game won’t be optimized for Steam Deck at launch, “but it works, yes.”
Look on it
Zero parades: for dead spies is a spy role-playing game (RPG) that puts the player in the shoes of a brilliant but tormented agent charged with one last desperate mission.
“Complete your mission requirements by tracking down the secrets hidden in the city’s architecture and the human mind. Collaborate and confront informants, loyalists, and agitators,” the description reads.
“Pass skill checks to get them to open up 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 an equally beautiful art style that made Disco Elysée stand out, plus dramatic encounters, choice-based consequences, skill checks, complex vertical dialogue trees, and much more.
Zero parades: for dead spies is expected to launch in 2026 on PC and PlayStation 5.
