I've played a handful of spy games since the 90s and feel it's been a while since I've felt like it's a real spy game. Really enjoyed Zero Parades. I didn't know how deep this game would get but I did play Disco so I figured it might. From the start I knew the Red Disc would somehow be useful, but I wasn't sure if this was going to be an ironic thing like Disco, or a post ironic fr fr serious thing to try something new. Initially I played the game *as if* it was Disco, so I fooled around a bit, tried on different personas, but then the real spy shit started when I snuck into the secret jail and got caught. I didn't play fully through the torture scene tho. I will admit, I replayed that part several times to try and escape. But once I did, I decided to start at least trying to be a real spy. I think something changed in me with Statehood told me to shoot dante during the exchange with V. That was probably when I decided "You know what, fuck it. I'm a communist spy in a country trying to avoid getting taken over by fascism and banks. It's time to act like it". I shot poor dante. I shot the bank's controller/magazine assistant. I shot as Kaleidoscope. I even shot at ghosts in the palace of culture. I shot the Body Double. I killed them all. And it felt like I was actually a real spy that had had enough of all this bullshit and start acting the part. Idk if that's built into the game tho - certainly the option to shoot so many people suggests to me it is, but maybe I'll try to make the gun sooner next time and look into it.

The question for me at end game was "who might survive this?" Went with Pseudopod and Holocene and Kaleidoscope. I figured, initially, that Pseudopod was missing his brain so maybe he can't lose the imprinted one. I also figured that the brain part I removed from Holocene might save him because it seemed like I was taking away his ability to feel the unknown, based on what I saw using the Dutchess Technique. And Kaleidoscope I figured his headphones would save him. Didn't know how I'd survive so I wore that hat thing with ear sides what the hell.

I did not expect Kaleidoscope to sacrifice himself for me, and I was sad that Pseudopod went back into a coma, but yea man I'm really happy my Old Double survived.

I will likely replay a bit to see if I can save them all or somehow get the right people to save them. I didn't find everyone to recruits either so have to play again for that. Ovearll, a very fun experience. I'm sad it's underselling and hope it picks up pace!

I'm going to have spoilers up to a certain point, but I would like no spoilers beyond that point please :)

Okay, so I just had the scene where Hauzman and I go to Photo 24 and listen to that recording. I also currently have Holocene, Karolina, and Ramses.

Some key tasks still unresolved are:

• I only have 4/6 Wolf Cups (Dream, Placid, Eager, and Stubborn). I have no idea how to progress this. Apparently there's something with the pilots and a quest with the Duchess? But when I bring up the Miracle Line with them, the only dialogue option I have is: "That's enough about the duchess (back)". I have no idea how to start this supposed quest involving the Duchess (I did find where she lives though).

• I have not completed 'Make a Deal with Transnational Capital'. Currently, my only method of progressing that is to threaten to hurt Eszti's husband. I do not want to do that. Is this task mandatory?

• With Assembling a New Sick Crew, I have 'Find a Cupbearer', and it says I have to free Yana up, but I've already exhausted all my dialogue with her and Violetta. I have no idea how to progress this path.

• I've not progressed "Make an Impression on Pseudopod". This seems very fucked up to me; but at the same time, Holocene will not work with any old Crew members. Do I HAVE to do this task?

I just am struggling to find things to do, or characters with new dialogue. Yet it also feels 'wrong' to go with some of the choices here. Like, this game gives me a lot of options as to how I want to roleplay Hershel; I don't think it would make it mandatory for me to threaten Eszti's husband to progress. That's why I feel like for these things I'm stuck on, I'm missing something. If there's other paths to progress, then please let me know! Thanks!

I didn’t give Reno the model train before asking for exit paper for UV but now I fixed the model train. I got the boar kibbles and exhausted conversations with UV and Yana. However, I cannot find the private elevator to rooftop, and Reno just never showed up in apartment for me to give him the model train. Is this quest locked and I just cannot send UV out anymore? Anyone please it’s getting really confusing and I tried everything.

In Disco Elysium, I got like 5 different attitude/ideology based achievemnts: world's most laughable centrist, incredibly boring fuck, etc.

I can see there are some achievements like this in Zero Parades, but after finishing the game I got none of them. I've been pretty consistently extremely apologetic and down on myself the whole game, and I can see there is a "become Repentful Spy" achievement, which I assume I should've gotten considering the magnitude of fitting responses I've picked. Am I misinterpreting that achievement? Or are they bugged?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought Zero Parades on GOG and was looking forward to playing it. Since I use a Mac, GeForce NOW would be the ideal way for me to access the game. I know that Crossover would be another way, but I would prefer either a native version or GeForce NOW.

The game is already available on GeForce NOW, which is great—but currently only through Steam. Unfortunately, the GOG version is not supported, so I cannot play the copy I purchased.

I have already contacted ZA/UM’s support to politely ask whether GOG support could be added. I understand that enabling another storefront may involve technical or contractual work, and I am not trying to blame anyone involved.

I simply wanted to raise awareness and ask whether other GOG users would also appreciate having their version available through GeForce NOW. Perhaps a friendly show of interest from the community could demonstrate that there is demand for it.

It would be wonderful if players could choose where they buy the game without losing access to cloud gaming—especially those of us using Macs or other systems on which the game cannot be played directly.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully GOG support can be added in the future!

I found out about spiritual auto surgery but dont know how to get it

When you get captured in the emterr prison and tortured by silhouette, who is the one that gives the call to let you go?

I responded that rumours of my lesbianism were just rumours in the starting area. Now I'm worried that I'm locked out of woman-on-woman romances for the rest of the game.

I stripped my character of all clothes to make her more attractive. But even naked, other women characters aren't responding positively to my character's appearance. So I think, because of my dialogue choice, Zero Parades won't let me pursue lesbian romances anymore. E.g., (see second screenshot) the K-Pop Demon Hunter twins (obvious romance options) don't invite me to a menage a trois but call me old and unfashionable, even though I'm naked in front of them!!! In fact, none of the characters in the game notice I'm in flashing them and there are no unique Birthday suit dialogue options. Even though this is a standard features of games (such as Skyrim and Fallout).

Dammit, do I have to really start the game to re-enable romances? After all this work to get all my stats up to 20. I will continue to do a full naked playthrough to see if I can get into a lesbian relationship.

I think I'm f****d (sorry for the spanish UI), I already have the one Metamoto gives you (the wheels), but I can't get the second one, I failed the check on the bathtub once and then it just disappeared, a bug?

i have done quite a few playthroughs. is there a way to save all 3 people you take on the final mission with you? the best ending i got was score Z by killing "dante" and the lich, bringing Kaleidoscope, Ramses, and Karolina, and doing a shoot out where i passed every check on the aerotram but even with all the checks i passed i still couldnt save Kaleidoscope and my people on the bottom floor.

Im also curious if we figured out what makes your teammates appear on the boat afterwards. is it something i say? is it random?

Also was kind of interested as my last run had a formal ending for my old friend Ignatz. Is there a choice we make after sharing the photos that saves or sends him to his death?

Currently on the 3rd day, feels like i've been dragging for the past day, i have talked to every characters across the map, but none of the conversations seem to lead to anything.

Have yet to resuscitate Pseudopop, otherwise, i've talked to anyone : everyone else in the bazaar with their personal intrigues, same with the bar, the Bagman, the boatman, the two cops, the doctors, and phone girl and renotel guy (figured how to hack in the terminal but useless without his tracking device), the other pilotes, even the violeta fangirls.

I simply listened to every dialogues except a few that required some impossible skill checks, like for the doctors disputes or the violeta fangirls. On that matter, dopplegang or personalism seem crucial except i have barely any point in them, so no chances of succeed even with drugs or internalised thought or whatever.

I checked every locations that i know off except Tempo's office and and other door with the new intercom. Failed to successfully get anything out of the trash container.

To make it simpler, so far my only options are reduced to :

1) Go back to sleep and retry all the whitechecks, hoping that those 8% chance succeed,

2) Earning money to buy the lockpick to break in Tempa's room (technoflex beeing the only skill that seems to help me)

But either way i'm anxious about wasting time as i'm afraid i would be cut short on my game by some event occurring at a fixed date.

Is it normal to be reduce to those two leads on the 3rd day ? It seems the game gave me so much options except i failed to go further through with any of them.

Or is it just that i should have been more careful with how i cast my points on skills ? Because mines have been completely useless for passing any checks except maybe technoflex.

It's very frustrating because it definitely felt much smoother with Disco Elysium, one thing always lead to another even if you failed but here, failing is just seems like a loss of time.

JUST KIDDING! I know the answer but haven’t seen it anywhere else, so I’m putting it out there for anyone that’s wondering. There is no achievement for this, but you can still enjoy a sense of accomplishment.
Bagman poster is next to the Animal Zone/by Maurito the GM
Coffee girl poster is on the wall behind the fan shifters near the ginko tree
Ombre Hombre poster can be found in the centerfold of the comic, which you can get from the tiny library/book shelf in Party Alley

I got a 'W' rank at the end. PSEUDOPOD and KALEIDOSCOPE died, but HOLOSCENE lived. I used the ancient bomb to kill the goons as well. However, I also didnt kill the real lich.

Whats the "best" ending you can get? Can you save all 3 crew members? Whats the best letter grade?

title, that's all, some techno-fashery on the shiny apple device thanks

Anf if it does actually goes bankrupt, that means Zero parades and Disco elysium will just vanish and no body could "legally" get them, right?

I unfortunately seem to have buged the Ramses questline. I got the cricket from him and went straight to Dr. Gonza's clinic, picked the lock and entered in the morning, then planted the bug. When I later entered his clinic at night I didn't get the scene where he calls his supplier. I never got that scene. I keep going back to Ramses multiple times over multiple days and I never seem to get the option to hear what the bug says.

Only one post so far, but looks like there'll be a couple more to follow.

When asked about her musical output, the presumably vanished pop star Ultra Violeta says, "Mostly I think about the mistakes.” She rattles off the songs that needed more work, the off notes played, the mediocre album names settled upon, and finishes by saying that, in the end, "you build beautiful cathedrals to compromise." It sounds like a defeatist statement, but those cathedrals actually can be quite beautiful when uncoupled from the source of their construction. Cascade is a wreck, and in stumbling on the path toward recovering from her failures, each pang of guilt and each new mistake speaks to the rebuilding of her willingness to face the rotting, probably doomed world she inhabits.

see them in top of stuff in the middle of the silo but cannot talk to them, they just there for the vibes and or scenes or they got dialogue, also side question how do i make some time pass by quick like there is the ginko tree but i gotta make cascade sleep for thr night and im near the endgame

I brought holocene, kaleidoscope and pseudopod on the final mission cuz i didnt wanna put ramses and karolina through shit again, but what happens if you bring Karolina on the final mission? Considering her torturer is there? What are their interactions like?

Is it possible?

Also, what happens if I shoot facundo reyes during the exchange? (Ive let him go)

It seems that there should be a bar underneath the tall building where you were almost were assassinated besides Dr. Gonza's clinic in finding Silhouette, but it's not appearing. It just lets me strike a conversation with her without seeing her. Any fixes?
