    Zero Parades is about womanhood in a way I am not sure I've seen in a big game, certainly not an RPG. I wasn't sure at first whether it was setting it up as a cornerstone theme in the same way DE did with manhood, but several hours in, I'm realizing it's harder to recognize because this medium

    ZA/UM sent me a wonderful portrait in the Zero Parades style done by Daria Kalashnikova, one of the senior artists for the game, and I am still freaking out about how cool this is!

    This is such a shame to hear. ZERO PARADES is a tremendous, beautiful game. Truly sad the team won't get to continue the phenomenal work they did together. As always, love and solidarity to everyone affected, and fuck the shareholders and executives into the sun.

    Keep being floored by Zero Parades. Ranks among some of the best writing in any game I’ve ever played. Very different prose and tone than Disco. A feeling of constant drowning and self loathing. Really beautiful.

  • Chris Franklin @errant-signal.comBluesky · Jul 17, 2026

    The way Zero Parades exists culturally not as a video game but as a signifier of specific industry practices and drama and is engaged with exclusively through that lens is incredibly disheartening to me.

    The game had very little marketing and was boycotted immediately by anyone who knew what ZA/UM did to the original Disco Elysium creators. However, I hope the devs of Zero Parades find work elsewhere. The game industry is complete shit rn. Fuck ZA/UM's executives.

    Gamer psychosis is so weird. This was posted under a stream where I was checking out Zero Parades, a game made by some of the Disco Elysium people. He seems to think I was being paid to do so, or that this is hurting Kurvitz and. Rostov. It's not a war, man. It's video games.

    Rather a shame that the game is overshadowed by exec fuckery because Zero Parades so far has been the fever dream of a half-feral lesbian spy smash-and-grabbing her way through the story bedecked in stimulants and Christmas lights and it's pretty great.

    I haven't played Zero Parades, but it definitely made me be more open-minded about Esoteric Ebb cause: 1) We shouldn't compare every game that uses Disco's format to Disco's writing. 2) At least Esoteric Ebb didn't screw over the Disco creators.

    I'm watching this one streamer play Zero Parades, Worm Girl. The commentary so far is thoughtful and intelligent, I was skeptical about the game at first but she definitely changed my mind. It also goes without question the game art as a whole is phenomenal, very refined, surreal and compelling.

    Zero Parades touches a theme you don’t see in games much - that being a good person and a good employee can be two totally different things - I love that it lets the player explore the implications and consequences of that. Some phenomenal artwork in this game, they popped off with these 👏👏👏
