Estonian director says new ZA/UM game dwarfs 'Lord of the Rings' in word count

Tanel Toom, who directed voice work for ZA/UM's "Zero Parades: For Dead Spies", says the videogame's script spans about 700,000 words — more than all JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" books combined — and required actors to navigate a sprawling, nonlinear story with countless branching scenes.
