On the road again/ just can't wait to get on the road again.

<span class="bold">Kentucky Route Zero</span>, the alluring adventure in a magical realist Kentucky has become four Acts wide, and is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% discount.

While most of us may know of Kentucky as the Bluegrass State, there is a secret network of highways and byways, whose paths are known only to a select few. Kentucky Route Zero plays like a Ray Bradbury novel with its slightly off-kilter reality, working class mythos, and sweltering summer nights. Oh, and office bears.

Told in five acts, it's a point'n'click experience with a heavy focus on characterization, atmosphere, and storytelling, perfect for the discerning fan of the magical realism genre. After a long intermission, Act IV has been added to the Season Pass. The soundtrack will arrive in an update, a few weeks down the road.

So grab your ornery hound dog, warm up the truck, and get ready to take an even longer drive through <span class="bold">Kentucky Route Zero</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 50% discount will last until July 26, 2:59 PM UTC.

Themken: Waiting for the completed game. Is it suitable for someone over 75? No need to see single pixels? No need for fast twitch reflexes?

groze: No need to pixel hunt whatsoever, no twitch reflexes required, just sit back, relax, grab your mouse and enjoy the story and the characters; it's basically an interactive narrative experience ("walking simulator", if you will) with minor -- *really* minor -- tasks and puzzles, like driving around following directions and unlocking pieces of story by talking to people.

If you remotely enjoy magic realism, give this game a try.
I might when I am 75, which is not quite yet, not by a long shot. When the whole game is here anyway.

Pardon my ignorance, but is this game supposed / expected to have a proper ending with loose ends tied up and things explained (once part V comes out), or is it expected to be a "Lost"-like "just stop asking"...? I'm not big on journeys to nowhere, so this is kinda important for me before I decide to spend time on it...

Only the devs know at this point. I would hope they are working to a script, but given that it's taken them years to get this far, who knows. Probably best to wait until the final episode is out and the reviews come in.

high rated
Glad to see the next act arriving. I'm also looking forward to get the soundtrack.

tfishell: What the heck is the "Modern" sub-genre tag suppose to mean? :P https://www.gog.com/games?sort=bestselling&amp;search=Modern&amp;page=1

JudasIscariot: That it's basically set in the modern or real world rather than a fantasy or sci-fi setting :)
(Forgot to respond. :P) Huh, okay.

Wow. I thought this would never be completed. Now I am actually tempted to buy it.

Technically it still isn't (one more episode to go), so be aware there is still some risk of getting an unfinished game. Or conversely, waiting another year or more for a finished one.

I know, but this means that the game might actually get finished - it seemed to me as if the creators had completely abandoned it.

Yes, it's better than if they had just dropped it. That happens far too often already with games.
