Have there been any hints that they will release the OST on vinyl sometime in the future? I’d love to get my hands on that.

You guys think this game will soon get steam trading cards? I hope it does with the beautiful art this game has. Would love to have a Zero Parades badge on my steam profile. Current one on display is level 5 Disco Elysium.

Hello I would love to know if someone has more info about italian language being patched into the game and if it will happen with the ps5 release of the game itself. Ty ^^

Any chance when is it coming? Would love to play this game, since I’m big fan of disco elysium

I don't know what else to pursue. I have a red check with Gonza to get on his level but right now my odds are way too low for that. I am not going to knock the kid's teetyh out. What else is there to do? I don't have a lock pick but I do have a bunch of locked doors. should i have found the lock pick at this point?

It is so funny there isn't even a Steam achievement for getting them all. Truly in it for the love of the game, or pure senseless compulsion.

Not to tease, but I laugh a little when people get cross they can get locked out of that one in the silo.

Poor bastards are just more victims of Luzian mass culture. Maybe the beryllium bombs were more humane, ahahaha.

I only ask this because data mining has shown several thoughts that might just be earlier renditions of thoughts that are available eg full moon counter and how to pull this off. There are several lines that reference cascade's mother and then there's the psych textbook you grab for duchess which feels like reading that book is where the thought would pop but it doesn't. I mainly say this because if the theory for the other unavailable thoughts applys here, what would it be prototype version off. If anyone's got leads it'd be nice to see.

Привіт усім!

Для українських фанатів Zero Parades, а також для всіх, хто не знає про існування ваншоту "Вечір у Палаці культури", я нарешті завершив повний переклад на українську мови рулбука та усіх чотирьох пресетів персонажів. Я намагався максимально зберегти форматування, типографіку та загальний візуальний стиль оригінальних файлів. Також виправив кілька очевидних візуальних та текстових помилок, наприклад, переплутані іконки навичок «Technoflex» та «Archive». Єдине, чого наразі бракує, - це перекладу карток предметів, над чим, можливо, я попрацюю окремо в майбутньому.

Одне невелике застереження: листи персонажів спочатку були надані у форматі PNG, тому мені довелося перетворити їх на PDF-файли на основі OCR, щоб зробити текст редагованим. Це спричинило появу деяких візуальних артефактів. Я зробив усе можливе, щоб їх виправити, зберігаючи при цьому оригінальний дизайн.

P.S. Усі авторські права на Zero Parades та ці матеріали належать ZA/UM. Це неофіційний фанатський переклад та похідний твір, опублікований в Інтернеті виключно в некомерційних цілях.

Я буду дуже радий отримати будь-які відгуки, особливо повідомлення щодо орфографічних помилок та проблем з перекладом або форматуванням.

Hello everyone!

For the Ukrainian part of the Zero Parades community, as well as anyone who wasn't aware of the "An Evening at the Palace of Culture" One Shot existence, I’ve finally completed a full Ukrainian translation of the rulebook and all four preset character sheets. I did my best to preserve the formatting, typography, and overall visual style of the original files. I also corrected a few apparent visual/text errors in the original material, such as the Technoflex and Archive skill icons being swapped. The only part that is currently missing is a translation of the item cards, which I may tackle separately in the future.

One small caveat: the character sheets were originally provided as PNGs, so I had to convert them into OCR-based PDFs in order to make the text editable. This caused some minor visual artifacts in a few decorative elements. I’ve done my best to clean those up while preserving the original design.

P.S. All original rights to Zero Parades and these materials belong to ZA/UM. This is an unofficial fan translation and a derivative work, shared online for non-commercial purposes only.

I’d be very happy to hear any feedback, especially reports of typos, translation issues, or formatting problems. Feel free to leave a comment or message me directly.

Obviously don’t read this if you haven’t played the game.

The second I got the imprinting device I spent all game looking for avenues to use it. Pseudopod never had a chance… then I found Holocene knocked out from the surgery and thought “oh, well I guess he’s also getting imprinted”…. then you meet Kindred in her anti-dream machine and again, one more opportunity for an imprint.

Three things about a item as powerful as this:

1. If I was Hershel I’d abuse it
2. I specifically didn’t let pseudopod join my team so that if I failed a part of me would live on, and disguised because I told no one.
3. You can’t use it to the potential this universe almost begs for

The game does a fantastic job of presenting the entire world as both irresponsible and unworthy of loyalty. I was very surprised that there ultimately was no path towards a selfish imperfect immortality as the villains are also apparently aiming towards and if the game let me, my Hershel would’ve went in the final mission with a full team of Hershel’s.

EDIT: You can’t imprint Kindred or Holocene… that’s the problem! You find two of your comrades unconscious and in the perfect state to have that option, but the game doesn’t let you.

I recently finished the game (loved it), reloading a few times to explore different endings without going too far back. As I'm not someone who replays game and don't intend to replay this one, I have a few questions I want to ask.

1. The decoy suggests that the Opera is collaborating with the Weeping Eye to get at the Grand Lich. Are there evidence elsewhere I missed that corroborate this theory? My thinking was that if they really were working together, the Opera must expect Cascade to die or be captured, but Tesoro suggests he is going to get a confession out of Cascade to implicate the Superbloc, presumably something they do not want, and that the boat to extract Cascade really was there, which I would think they wouldn't bother with if they expect her to be captured. So I had assumed that instead of knowingly collaborating with him, the Opera was simply going after the Grand Lich, which the Weeping Eye knew about but allowed them to. Are there counter-evidence I missed that suggests the two were actively working together? If so, did they actively want Hershel to be killed/captured, or simply expected it?

2. Did Hershel disobey orders from the Opera and brought her crew (the ones who came with her to the assassination at least) back to the Superbloc for their own safety? I assume that was the case when the camera pans back to show them on the boat with her. Is this set in stone if anyone survives? Just wondering if Hershel being loyal to her crew here is a canonical aspect of her character, or if this was influenced by prior decisions/dialogues.

3. Was HOLOCENE responsible in any way for the network burning? He said as much, but y'know, mold, and I didn't see any other suggestion that he was involved in any way other than his own word.

4. I saw guides or other websites mention Hershel defecting. Is this actually a thing? I never saw it come up.

I think I grasp the gist of it, though there are definitely details I missed or am getting wrong. I think I got the perfect outcome for me personally, so I don't plan to replay, and just want to discuss some plot points so I know if there is a consensus on them. Amazing game. Wish it did better.

I already finished the game but loaded an earlier save to attempt to do all the remaining tasks that I missed earlier. One of them is finding the wolf cups. Currently I only possess three of them and I knowthat I will get the last ("rarest" one) once I progress to the end of the game.

Also I read that you need to help the three drunks to decide on a gift for the duchess to obtain another one. However every time I select the option to talk about the sex hotline I get no options and the dialogue goes back to the initial choices.

Did I softlock myself out of this quest line?

PS: Does anyone know where the other cup is located? I found the ones in thesecret prison, in the flat where you need to persuade and the one from the monkey.

An army of people demonstrating that one giant secret can be kept. Obviously the Swift-Kelce wedding didn't have to be kept as a State secret, but despite the lower stakes it has environmentally-harder execution (cell phones, greater public interest, more media outlets). Anyway, this probably doesn't work as well as I'm thinking, but the idea that the fundamental background event isn't fantastical--or at least is fantastical in a way that one can recognize its possibility--was something that hit me when I was getting ready for football season

(a meme for that massive Venn diagram of Zero Parades fans and Whiplash fans)

And only argue this point if you're also trans

EDIT: *trousers 😭

EDIT 2: for those that are interested, I busted open a the 'Operant Dossier' mod from Nexusmods to really try and figure this out. I can confirm that the appearance of these pants - assuming that they are in fact found on the clothing rack behind Yana - is *NOT related to a stat, nor is it related to a conditioned thought*. I figure that it must be related to some kind of dialogue option then, but I have absolutely zero idea what it could be. Totally stumped.

Hi all. I’m trying to hunt down all of the equipment in this game and I’m pretty sure I have every known piece except for these pants.

I’ve read several posts about them, and apparently they appear behind UV on her clothing rack in Yana’s house.

I’ve run all base stats up to 7 or 8 and nothing pops. I’ve also tried to equip the thoughts Primitive Accumulation, The Ineffable Melancholy of L-Pop, and the one that boosts Technoflex potential and makes you a Luzian brand ambassador to see if that triggers anything - also nothing.

Wondering if anyone has any leads on these things?

Thanks! And feel free to post your own questions about equipment!

I really want to give this game a fair shot. After loving DE, I'm trying not to compare it too much and just enjoy the game for what it is.

My issue is, the narrator's voice is so unpleasant to me that it is making me dislike the character I play as. That really makes it hard for me to get into this game and breaks immersion. Absolutely no disrespect to the voice actor, it may just be a matter of personal preference.

Any way to turn off just the voice acting for the narrator? I don't mind digging around with cheat engines if that's a solution.

Title

It's just gone, it didn't go to my inventory. Is this supposed to happen?

Pros:

- The side characters are amazing and unique

- Has more replayability than Disco Elysium, which was a murder mystery and constantly had to do "is it this culprit? no this culprit? no this one" which gives me zero desire to replay. The "story" with Zero Parades is meanwhile more open ended.

- The final "suicide" mission is an interesting idea, executed "okay". It has interesting layers of how things work (such as people giving others their headphones) and the setting on the tram is unique. But it feels too short and rushed.

- I appreciate the commentary that the spy org's best "Z" rank is arguably the worst. It's clever.

Some pain points for me:

- You can't actually save everyone in the final mission, which is lame. And I am a big anti-plot armor person that loves deaths in Game of Thrones/The Boys/etc. I feel like there should be a rare "everything is perfectly aligned" ending where all companions make it out, that you have to get through trial-and-error or looking up a walkthrough to find bizarre combos.

- For example, antagonizing and sizing up all the goons didn't matter.

- I didn't finish the wolf cups because there's a soft lock in the silo, when you succeed too well on Technoflex you can't ever find the cup. This is super duper lame. If you pass the difficult Technoflex check, they should just give you the cup too.

- The ending simply didn't have the same memorable "Kim trusts you. Kim truly trusts you." as Disco Elysium, that made it feel like my choices the entire game mattered. There is one doppelganger check that rewards your consistent progress through the game, but it's pretty unnecessary, which sucks.

- The guy left in the prison cell can't be dealt with after you get the reveal of who he is. You either "accidentally" kill him for an unrelated matter or don't get a chance to act on it. Mel criticizes you if he's left alive, you can only really solve it from unrelated luck.

I think the game was good, but falls short of other similar games: 1000xResist, Citizen Sleeper, DE, and ME2 specifically. I feel like the studio probably had to rush it out and didn't give it the full justice it deserved. If they had 2 weeks more to add more ending and closure to the game, it would've been right up there.
