The creators behind the critically acclaimed Disco Elysium have unveiled their next project, codenamed C4. This ambitious new title, described by ZA/UM as a "cognitively dissonant spy RPG," represents a daring venture into unexplored narrative realms. Following three years of development, the studio is now ready to reveal more about this intriguing game that aims to challenge players' understanding of reality and morality.
The announcement came with a cryptic 57-second teaser trailer, which, while not showcasing gameplay, envelops viewers in an atmospheric mix of surrealist imagery and a haunting monologue centered on espionage. This sets the stage for a narrative rich in secrecy, tension, and psychological depth.
In C4, players will step into the shoes of an operative working for a shadowy global power. As the story progresses, they'll become enmeshed in a fierce, covert battle for truth and influence. ZA/UM emphasizes that the game's central theme is the protagonist's mind—a delicate yet powerful entity, influenced by psychoactive substances and external forces. This mental terrain acts as both a tool and a battleground, where players must navigate fluctuating realities and confront the ramifications of their decisions.
With its innovative concept and ZA/UM's renowned storytelling prowess, C4 is poised to be a thought-provoking entry in the RPG genre. Both fans of Disco Elysium and new players can anticipate an experience that stretches the limits of interactive storytelling, delving into the complex dynamics of identity, ideology, and control.
