Wow, Act II is even better. This is great.

Exceptionally good design and artistic values for an indie game,thrilling to imagine what this duo can accomplish with big budget.

I agree. Although I’m not sure they need a big budget.

Visually, they’ve managed to do something that doesn’t feel old and tired. It’s not retro, not cartoon and not ultra-realistic. It feels fresh, and I haven’t felt that in a while. It’s not just how it looks or sounds, how the game plays is a touch of genius. It’s something you need to experience.

I agree! it really puts your mind in a different place.

Just watched Enemy, so ready for surrealist marathon.

I have to wait until the weekend to play it, but very excited

and the Capri Connection will also be out in May…

What? I thought the KS failed. 

Just finished Act3 , pretty long , they took their time almost a year but this Act is bigger than previous Acts combined.

No words can describe what i felt through, the sounds, visuals and narrative how it
plays around different themes, its just transcendent experience.
There were some really soul touching moments that makes you to go places if your creative juices are flowing right

Take your time for one sitting playthrough , with booze or smoke , whatever works for you to enhance your juices and then play this bizzare trip, you will enjoy it hundred fold.

10/10

Simply put, its my Best Adv Game after 90s era of AdvGames.
And apart from AGs, one of the best experiences i ever had.

Now to play it again with different choices.

I was hoping for all the episodes to be out before i started this game.. but its looking like maybe i should just jump in, or i’ll be waiting forever

Metacritic 92

Gamespot 9

The game’s meanings aren’t simple, its logic not straightforward.
It can take on a life of its own in your own mind because it operates according to rules that belong more to the subconscious than to the conscious, effortlessly blending the concrete and the magical. Kentucky Route Zero is not, in any sense, a typical adventure game. It’s an incredible one.

And even at its most dreamlike, Kentucky Route Zero remains deeply concerned with very real, concrete matters.

Realist, Magical and Surreal , the words are more felt in Act3.
Realist troubled past of characters, Magical trip and Surreal happenings.

When it comes to surreal and bizzare stuff what i liked most is that it emulates
right notes of lynch and cronenberg, and get one step beyond.
Oh and add Twilightzone into the blender too.

Three word review:  Incredibly emotional experience.

Seriously, if you haven’t given yourself the chance of playing this you are depriving yourself of one of the richest narrative’s of modern adventure gaming. 

There’s a new benchmark right now for enveloping experiences and it’s name is Kentucky Route Zero.

Indeed. There is a lot of talk about “player choice” going around but what KRZ is doing is in another dimension and it is quite fascinating. It isn’t the moral choice between good or bad guy, or paths the story will take, more like a subtle way of having a hand in how the characters and events take shape. It is a strange feeling because like real life, you know it’s all predestined and you will end up at the same place, but certain options feel more “right” for the story, for different people. You feel like you are creating it along with the writers.

It’s like the opposite of having “alternate ending” tacked on superficially. What you do has no meaning or purpose so somehow, that gives it a meaning and puts you right there in the moment instead of thinking of the consequences. If that makes any sense.

Seems impossible but episode 4 was released:

I haven’t played a single episode yet. I dunno what to do. Already start 1 or wait til the whole series is done?
