Al crepuscolo nel Kentucky le strade familiari diventano estranee, mentre i canti degli uccelli sfumano nei cori di rane e insetti. Viaggiatori smarriti inciampano in un'autostrada segreta tra grotte sotterranee, incontrando strambi locals come un autista anziano al suo ultimo trasporto per l'antiquario, una riparatrice di TV tra fantasmi, un bambino col suo gigantesco aquila, musicisti robot e comunità logore che resistono a una compagnia elettrica invisibile. Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition svela questo mondo in un'avventura magico-realista in cinque atti.
Un haunting colonna sonora elettronica si intreccia a inni e standard bluegrass dei The Bedquilt Ramblers. Lo stile visivo mozzafiato del gioco fonde teatro, cinema, arte elettronica sperimentale e storia dei videogiochi per indagare debiti impagabili, futuri abbandonati e la ricerca di comunità. I fan delle avventure indie narrative, attratti da storie umane in ambientazioni surreali, ne apprezzeranno la profondità discreta.
At twilight in Kentucky, as bird songs give way to the choir of frogs and insects, familiar roads become strange, and 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 are themselves a little strange at first, but soon seem 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; the invisible power company lurking everywhere, and the threadbare communities who struggle against its grip.
KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO is a magical realist adventure game in five acts, featuring a haunting electronic score, and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers. Rendered in a striking visual style that draws as much from theater, film, and experimental electronic art as it does from the history of videogames, this is a story of unpayable debts, abandoned futures, and the human drive to find community.
