Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it. Gameplay is inspired by point-and-click adventure games (like the classic Monkey Island or King's Quest series, or more recently Telltale's Walking Dead series), but focused on characterization, atmosphere and storytelling rather than clever puzzles or challenges of skill. The game is developed by Cardboard Computer (Jake Elliott and Tamas Kemenczy). The game's soundtrack features an original electronic score by Ben Babbitt along with a suite of old hymns & bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.

The game is one of the deepest and most different games of recent years by the industry, which showcases the true power of the eighth art, both in terms of storytelling and interaction.

This game is one of the best story-focused titles I’ve played in a long time, and I feel better for it.

Kentucky Route Zero returns with an episode that meanders, but enraptures all the same.
