Kentucky Route Zero (itch) Mac OS
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Nov 12, 2019 Kentucky Route Zero technically hasn’t come to an end, but its individual acts and intermissions have made a huge impact over the decade. The game is currently available on PC and will hit.
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.
- But Kentucky Route Zero quickly becomes a mystical adventure through a land left behind by time, an odyssey in magical realism that feels grand and mysterious in a way that very, very few modern.
- Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway running through the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks.
May 30, 2017 Kentucky Route Zero: this incredibly stylish side-scrolling episodic game tells most of its story by letting the dialogue take a backseat to the angular pastel visuals. Five Nights at Freddy’s: a love-it-or-hate-it horror series that puts players in the damp shoes of a night guard at a restaurant filled with demonic Chuck-E-Cheese animatronics. Maybe you're going too fast; don't force it, now. Just try to think like a poet.
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).
