Set in the city-state of Portofiro, the demo offers a tailored version of the game’s opening, including two full quests, various side activities and open exploration of the environment. Players can choose from three distinct character archetypes, each offering strong replayability.

The game’s dialogue system embraces the idea of “failing forward” - every door closed is an open opportunity to go through the window instead. Make sure to check out how different choices and skill checks can change the outcome of any event.



In ZERO PARADES, you play a brilliant but tormented operant on one final desperate assignment. Gather your broken network, untangle a web of lies, and prove yourself on the world stage - or blow it all up again.

Don’t let Portofiro wait too long - the demo is available for a limited time only during Steam Next Fest, starting February 23 to March 16, 2026.

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies will launch on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic) before coming to PlayStation®5 (PS5®) later in 2026 - wishlist it now on Steam.
