Zero Parades: For Dead Spies patch restores missing voiced lines, enables a new fast travel point, and more

by

The digital PC version of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, from ZA/UM, received its first update today.

This update includes added voiceover lines that were missing, improved Bagman’s voice to sound more consistent, and fixed several instances of repeating dialogue. We’ve also added a new fast travel point and improved the map – it now shows discovered locations and their opening hours if they have a schedule.

You can read our complete review of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies here and my additional thoughts on playing it on PC handhelds here. The game is currently available on PC through Steam and GOG, with a PlayStation 5 version coming later this year. Detailed patch notes, including spoiler sections, are available on the Steam blog from ZA/UM.

Wow, it’s already been a week since ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies! launched! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who jumped in to play as CASCADE and took the time to share their thoughts and report any bugs they found.

VOICEOVER

  • Added several missing voiced lines– including all lines for Boat Man.
  • Temporarily, voiceover lines that severely differ from the text have been removed– missing voiceover will be re-added in a future patch.
