Disco Elysium Studio ZA/UM Unveils Espionage RPG 'Project C4'

The new game explores psychological espionage with dice-based mechanics, departing from the Disco Elysium universe.

ZA/UM has announced 'Project C4,' a dialogue-driven espionage RPG inspired by John le Carré and Park Chan-wook.
Players assume the role of an Operant working for a shadowy global power, navigating betrayal, secrets, and geopolitical conflict.
The game emphasizes failure as a core mechanic, rewarding players for navigating setbacks rather than punishing them.
Psychoactive substances will play a role in altering the protagonist's mind, reflecting the psychological toll of spycraft.
The announcement follows years of turmoil at ZA/UM, including legal disputes, layoffs, and the cancellation of a Disco Elysium sequel and DLC.
