Zero Parades' story does one better than Disco Elysium's in an important way

A review says Zero Parades: For Dead Spies ties protagonist Hershel more tightly to its world than Disco Elysium does with Harry.

Unlike Disco Elysium, which separates Harry’s inner story from Martinaise’s larger politics, Zero Parades folds Hershel into the pressures around her.

That tighter integration makes the new game feel more cohesive and gives player choices more weight in shaping identity.

The article frames this as a stronger example of narrative design, where character and world reinforce each other.
