Kentucky Route Zero

Netflix, Inc.

About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Unpayable debts. Abandoned futures. Mysterious travelers. Journey down a secret underground highway to find community in this mystical adventure game.

At twilight in Kentucky, as bird songs give way to the choir of frogs and insects, familiar roads become strange. 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 seem a little strange at first but soon become 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; and the invisible power company lurking everywhere and the threadbare communities that struggle against its grip.

Features:

• A complete story. Originally published episodically over a span of years, all five acts and the interludes can now be experienced together.
• A striking visual style that draws from theater, film, experimental electronic art and the history of video games.
• A haunting electronic score and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.

From Cardboard Computer and Annapurna Interactive.

Ratings and reviews

this is an amazing game, but the lack of a manual or autosave means I am currently repeating a 20 minute scene I've already almost finished twice, just because the window was minimized for a moment on my phone. additionally, once the game has been minimized and then maximized on the screen, it loses all audio. some scenes are so slow moving, and the audio is a necessary part of the game. please fix this because I want to love this game. the story is incredible, the characters feel so real.

I didn't experience any of the bugs that others have complained about. My guess is that, like a lot of Netflix games, maybe it has something to do with the device you're using. Worked flawlessly for me. This is a game-like narrative, rather than just a straight game. The graphics are beautiful and the story is interesting if not odd. I hear there's some kind of moral to it, but all I've experienced so far is unique, fantasy-realism storytelling.

It took me a little while to figure it out and almost deleted it but stick to it, it's worth it! I think it's more of an interactive story, you choose what's going to happen while trying to figure out what the heck is going on. All I can say is whoever made this game had a very creative imagination! My only issues are having to repeat a few things because it didn't save and everything is so dark, I would like to see more in the design. Overall it's a good game, different and thought provoking!
