Now Playing Kentucky Route Zero

Welcome to week 2!

From Monday, May 13 to Sunday, May 19 we will be playing Kentucky Route Zero.

From the developer's Website:

Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folk 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.

Kentucky Route Zero is episodic, and will release in five acts to tell its story.  Currently, only the first act has been released, but the second act is set to release in the next couple of weeks.  After that, Act 3 will release in July, Act 4 in October, and the final act will release in January of next year.

The game is available for PC, Mac, and Linux.  You can pick up all five acts on Steam for $25, or you can buy it all DRM-free directly from the developers.  Buying directly from the developers also nets you soundtrack mp3s, Cardboard Computer's private monthly newsletter, and a Steam key for the game.

Damn this game is pretty:




See you on the roads of Kentucky!

Cheers,

Danny
