Finished up playing the first act. The writing is really introspective and interesting but the atmosphere is amazing - the ambient soundtrack and the visual style with its shifting perspectives, muted tones and vector art design really creates this mood that varies from pensive to downright eerie. It’s very linear though and Act 1 will take about an hour or more to get through but I’m very curious to see what happens next.

Yea, I got a bit more into it. It’s nicely written and the audio is the highlight besides the visual style. Feels very much like an odd, almost surreal introspective piece. There’s some cool elements to it, some minor exploration; the game even has some text adventure bits. Overall, what a treat. There’s so much in there, can’t wait to see how this game plays out. I hope the people behind it bring us more after this concludes.

Really liked the Art, ambience and music. Initially missed Voiceacting later on it didn’t matter i think the choice was right.

For me the game inspired me to make my imagination go nuts, like DavidLynch movies
and that says alot.

Does anyone know if there’s a demo of this game, and what the PC requirements are?

No demo yet

Ok, thanks. Took a chance and bought the game, since I’m getting a new laptop soon, so if it didn’t work on the one I’m using now, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Unfortunately I had some texture problems, but for the first 2/3 of the game (it’s pretty short), I thought it was maybe just part of the visual style, so I just kept playing

The system requirements from the readme file in case anyone is wondering:
“This game requires a video card that supports at least shader model 3. Most video cards made within the last several years should be fine.”

I’m up to part III. I love it so far. The graphics remind me of a mix of Infogrames and Another World (or Out of This World).

Man, I really want to play this game. How are things rendered? Is it all High Res 2D graphics or is it a mix of 2d and 3d? The visuals look moody, animated, and still very artistic without sacrificing to the age old ‘3D look’.

Mix, Some are 2D for sure others are illusion of 3D i.e 2.5D , at times i too wondered, Cars and some props are 3D. Graphics are cool enough to ask myself , why can’t other
adventure games be like this, the guy did great job.

Finished it. Is the game meant to just flick off back to the desktop at the end? At least I assume it’s the end.

New episode? Anyone?

As posted on Twitter, it was due out the end of April but will be delayed a couple of weeks.

Episode 2 is out

EDIT: Confirm it please.

The game is out, but I think I’ll wait for the rest of the season, the first chapter was good but really small and it took so long for the new one. I’m going to wait and play them all together on this one.

Well that’s settled. Episode 1 wasn’t a fluke. I don’t know which ones exactly, but Kentucky Route Zero is bound to be picking up a couple of Aggies at the end of the year.
