[ccgr]

IMPRINT is ZA/UM Studio’s new podcast series offering an inside look at the making of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies.


Tallinn, Estonia - February 4, 2026 - ZA/UM Studio, the developers who brought you Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, have recently introduced IMPRINT - A ZA/UM Studio Devcast. In IMPRINT, host Jim Ashilevi - Writer and Voice Over Director - is joined by team members of the studio’s upcoming game Zero Parades: For Dead Spies. Each episode focuses on a specific aspect of Zero Parades and shares insights into the creative process behind making an espionage RPG.

First launched in December 2025, the series started with Episode 1: Art & World. In that episode Art Director Kaspar Tamsalu and Character Lead Iliya Mirochnik, discuss taking inspiration from the 1990s - both in aesthetics and world building based on the team’s experiences growing up in Estonia after the Soviet Union collapsed.

In the newest entry, Episode 2: Narrative, Jim sits down with Narrative Director Justin Keenan and Writer Honey Watson to discuss identity and perceptions. In a world of espionage (just like in the real world), everyone is wearing a mask - and Zero Parades is all about finding the human core behind them. This episode also features a special appearance by Mikee Goodman - who is the Audio Engineer and Casting Director at ZA/UM and best known for being the voice of the Ancient Reptilian Brain, the Limbic System and the Horrific Necktie in Disco Elysium.

IMPRINT - A ZA/UM Studio Devcast is now available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify and Acast. New episodes release monthly with guest apperances from all different disciplines: art, audio, level-design, character design, narrative and so on.

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies will launch in 2026 for PC and PlayStation 5 - wishlist now on Steam.
