Description
At twilight in Kentucky, as bird songs give way to the choir of frogs and insects, familiar roads become strange, and it's easy to get lost. Those who are already lost may find their way to a secret highway winding through underground caves. The people who live and work along this highway are themselves a little strange at first, but soon seem familiar: the aging driver making the last delivery for a doomed antique shop; the young woman who fixes obsolete TVs surrounded by ghosts; the child and his giant eagle companion; the robot musicians; the invisible power company lurking everywhere, and the threadbare communities who struggle against its grip.

KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO is a magical realist adventure game in five acts, featuring a haunting electronic score, and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers. Rendered in a striking visual style that draws as much from theater, film, and experimental electronic art as it does from the history of videogames, this is a story of unpayable debts, abandoned futures, and the human drive to find community.

Originally published episodically over a span of years, the game now includes all five acts along with the "interludes," which were originally published separately. It has also been painstakingly localized for French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish (both European Spanish and Latin American).

Absolutely Stunning!! GET. IT. NOW!!!

There is the most original and enthralling adventure game I have ever came upon. I don't even know where to begin describing this game. Strictly speaking this is like an old school text based adventure game. It is well written, thought provoking, satirical, and humorous. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!

Its been a year and still no Act3

This was a great game to experience but they are still only up to Act 2, Acts3-5 are still in the works and a year has past for this point & click game. Who knows when they will come out with the rest but they still are collecting money & doing other projects, and when you ask about the game the repeat the same thing over & over again "we are hard at work, it will just be a little while longer". When a company lies to you over & over again especially when you kickstarted their game you lose faith in them. I will never buy any game from theses hippies again.

Not fun - just tragedy!

I got through Act III and decided to punt. The characters are quirky and intriguing but the story is dark and tragic, and progressively more so as you go through the Acts. I want to enjoy the story and have fun when I play a game - not journey with tragic characters as they slide into decline, debt, and hopelessness!

Pretentious, artsy nonsense

Just another pretentious indie game that tries way too hard to be deep. It pretends it's thought provoking, deep and complex when it's really nothing but bad writing. The very basic concepts of storytelling just don't exist here. You'll think you're playing FF13 all over again. There's not a strip of coherent dialogue to be found anywhere in the game. Within minutes of playing you'll be assaulted by nonsensical dialogue and some of the most ridiculously unbelievable characters I've ever come across in a video game. Example. You come across a woman in a dark, abandoned mine as you look for an onramp to the titular location (makes sense already doesn't it?) Instead of being completely freaked out by your presence, screaming for the police and going for a rifle she instead walks right up to your character and begins talking about how her father was killed when she was young...riiight. Your character likewise, instead of questioning the presence of this psychotic lunatic hanging around an abandoned mine at 2 in the morning proceeds to have a lovely conversation with her about television sets. That's the dialogue in a nutshell. Every person and situation you meet is so unrealistic that it killed any interest I had in the game. If you're looking for a good, solid, coherent story instead of just a bunch of artsy fluff then look elsewhere. I'm sure there's a few games on GOG where the writers actually took a writing class or two.
