This News post covers our new, upcoming project ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies.

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, our upcoming espionage RPG, debuts at Steam Next Fest this month with a free, time-limited demo.

Step into the shoes of Hershel Wilk, our brilliant but tormented operant, and explore the city-state of Portofiro in a tailored version of the game’s opening.

Play through two quests, unravel various side stories, and meet some of the quirky and questionable characters residing in our surrealist environment.

Curious? Take a look at the first 15 minutes of demo gameplay:

The ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies demo will be available from February 23rd through March 16th.#
