Fiery plays Zero parades for dead spies blind part 16: You win some and you lose some...

All the screenshots are taken from the game Zero parades for dead spies. This game is created by ZA/UM. I did not create this game.

Last time we met with Kaleidoscope- a creepy fan of singer Ultra Violeta. He offered us a deal. He gives us information we need from prisoner Dante and we give information about Violeta location(betraying both Violeta and our friend Yana/Tempo). We tricked Kaleidoscope by pretending to accept his offer but in reality we only wanted to buy some time to find a way to double cross him later. After that we found out that Violeta needs some papers from a person named Reno in order to escape and disappear. So we went to get the papers. For them Reno wanted either absurdly big sum of money or a favor. We did not have nearly enough money so we chose to go get the item he wanted. The item was at the hands(paws?) of some weird creature. It also had some other things we needed. And we were able to get it all for a few packs of cigarettes. So that creature was not too smart. After that we traded the item Reno wanted for papers and helped Violeta escape. Yana then offered to help us assassinate our target.

This time we went to see weirdo called bagman. He was hoping to get Violeta's red disk from us and use it as a weapon. But this Bagman could not offer anything in exhange because we already had all the information he could have give us. So we decided to keep the disk and leave Bagman emty handed. Then we went to see our former asset Holocene. He was in a basement. There he had tied himself to a chair. Holocene asked to drill into his head. Because he believed that there is some We agreed. After all it is not every day you get to dig into someone's brain... at least not literally.

After that we went to see another of our former assets- Karolina. We gave her a figurine and she relived her nightmare- a time when she was tortured. Then we went to the bar and spoke with Yana again. She once again insisted that she wants to be in our crew and said that she doesn't care who else will be working with us.

Then we used the strange device in order to imprint part of our character Cascade to our partner Pseudopod(who was barely alive/ in a coma after lstening to the red disk). This worked-Pseudopod woke up. And then run away...with no pants. So we went looking for him. He now believed that he is Cascade(well I guess... he was...in a way.) Finally we found him and calmed him down a bit. After that we saw a sign that our target is coming- a tree lost all its leaves. We called our controller Melita and told her our plan and the crew that we will be using for the assassination-Us(Cascade), Yana, Karolina and Pseudopod.

After that we prepared to assassinate our target. But then came complications. Yana said that it seemed that our target was not really in control. Instead another person was in charge.And perhaps even more importantly our target looks exactly as the prisoner Dante. And Karolina noticed that one of target's body guards was one of the people who tortured her in the past. So she wanted to kill him at all cost- even if it would mean jeopardizing our mission.

Then we found our target. He revealed the truth- he was the body double of the real Facundo Reyes(target). And the real Facundo is in fact prisoner ,,Dante''. We told this fake target to get lost. But after that we went to see our crew we found out that body double was killed by the person who Yana believed was real boss of that group. He turned out to be Hundred-eye golem the leader of a Weeping Eye(the sectet organization who killed a few of our former crew members and tortured Karolina). His lackeys took our gun and then we were captured along with our crew. Weeping Eye members took us on a tram.

Weeping Eye leader the Golem revealed his plan. He wanted to force us make a fake confession that would claim that we killed the Facundo Reyes. But he even with his ,,hundred eyes'' he did not not foresee our triumph card- Yana. The scums from the Weeping Eye failed to imagine that we would have a teenager in our crew so they believed that she is just another passenger on tram- some young delinquent. So we bid our time by prolonging a conversation with the ,,Golem'' and playing a card game with him. The fool believed that he is in total control but in reality we were playing him like fiddle. After a while Yana came to the rescue. She started playing music on the music machine. This distracted golem's goons long enough for us to attack one of them and take back our gun. After that we shot two minions and then slew the ,,Golem'' as well. Yana was wounded during the gunfight but we menaged to save her. Also Pseudopod was killed(not that I care-after all he was in coma/ vegetative state for most of the game). So in the end we failed to assassinate the real Facundo Reyes. But we got revenge for our former crew. All rhe important/ likable characters (Cascade, Yana) survived to fight another day. And we only lost one nobody(Pseudopod)? Seems like a good ending to me.

All in all I think that I liked Disco Elysium a bit more than Zero parades. Perhaps because I liked main character slightly more than Cascade. But on the other hand I enjoyed Zero parades finale more than Disco elysium finale. All in all I believe that both games are insanly briliant works of art. I know that some people are really excited for GTA6 and it will probably win game of the year award. But I don't care about GTA6. I strongly believe that Zero parades deserves more attention from gamers. And in my opinion Zero parades may be the best game that came in 2026. I am loving The blood of Dawnwalker(But I still need to finish it) as well and I bough another game that sounds really interesting(you will see that let's play soon as well). But either of them will have really hard time beating this awesome web of espionage that is Zero parades.
