The creators of the acclaimed Disco Elysium have unveiled their next project, codenamed C4, described by ZA/UM as a "cognitively dissonant spy RPG." This ambitious title, three years in development, promises a narrative experience unlike any other, challenging players' perceptions of reality and morality.
A cryptic 57-second teaser trailer sets the stage. While gameplay remains unseen, the video’s surrealist visuals and haunting monologue establish an atmosphere of espionage, secrecy, and psychological complexity.
In C4, players become operatives for a shadowy global power, embroiled in a clandestine struggle for truth and influence. The protagonist's mind—fragile yet formidable, shaped by psychoactive substances and external forces—is central to the gameplay. This mental landscape becomes both a tool and a battleground, demanding players navigate shifting realities and confront the consequences of their actions.
ZA/UM's storytelling prowess makes C4 a highly anticipated addition to the RPG genre. Its unique premise promises an experience that pushes the boundaries of interactive narratives, exploring the complex interplay of identity, ideology, and control. Fans of Disco Elysium and newcomers alike are sure to find this a compelling and thought-provoking journey.
