ZA/UM, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Disco Elysium, has unveiled its next project, an espionage RPG titled Project C4. This new game promises a unique blend of player introspection, deep character-driven dialogue, and high-stakes encounters influenced by dice rolls.

Set in a world filled with shadowy characters and geopolitical intrigue, players will assume the role of an “Operant” working for a questionable global power. The narrative revolves around a desperate mission where failure could lead to dire consequences, including exposure of the protagonist’s true nature.

A standout feature of Project C4 is its focus on the protagonist’s mind, which can be altered, erased, or reordered through the use of psychoactive substances. This psychological depth adds a layer of complexity to the gameplay, emphasizing survival in a violent and unpredictable world.

While Disco Elysium fans might be excited, it’s worth noting that many of the original team members are no longer part of ZA/UM due to internal conflicts and legal disputes.

Despite this, the studio aims to deliver a fresh and innovative experience with Project C4.
