The creators of the acclaimed Disco Elysium have unveiled their next project, codenamed C4. ZA/UM describes this ambitious title as a "cognitively dissonant spy RPG," a significant departure into uncharted narrative territory. After three years of development, the studio is finally revealing this enigmatic game, promising a challenge to players' perceptions of reality and morality.
A cryptic 57-second teaser trailer accompanies the announcement. While gameplay remains unseen, the video immerses viewers in a surreal atmosphere, combining striking visuals with a haunting monologue on espionage. It perfectly sets the stage for a story brimming with secrecy, tension, and psychological depth.
In C4, players become operatives for a shadowy global power, drawn into a brutal, clandestine fight for truth and influence. The developers highlight the protagonist's mind as central—a fragile yet powerful entity, molded by psychoactive substances and external pressures. This mental landscape serves as both a tool and a battlefield, forcing players to navigate shifting realities and confront the consequences of their actions.
C4's unique premise, combined with ZA/UM's proven storytelling prowess, promises a thought-provoking RPG. Fans of Disco Elysium and newcomers alike can anticipate an experience that pushes the boundaries of interactive narratives, exploring the complex interplay of identity, ideology, and control.
