Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition

This game is definitely a very slow burn and leaves itself open ended, but the buildup of all the dialogue and imagery creates a very beautiful and interconnected story about people, family, and development in southeast America. The art and music is gorgeous, too. I found the OST months ago without even realizing it was for a video game, and decided to buy the game after falling in love with the soundtrack. The amount of research, attention, and love that went into this project is super clear, and I'm very glad I finally picked up the game for myself :)

I still haven't finished the game but The more I play it, the more fascinating it becomes, and if you're someone who enjoys reading, I definitely recommend it. this is me writing this just before sleeping so please bear me. From the beginning of the game until now, I think game carries this sense of boringness within it (which, in some ways, I don't necessarily see as a negative). Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it isn't, but either way, it's beautiful and ok. this work of art does it's job so clean, so many other writers can't reach this level of subtlety and depth and maturity in their literature. The plot is simple. A delivery man has one final job to complete, but he can't find the route he needs to take. But the delivery itself is almost worthless. It won't be where your attention stays. (Even introducing the work like this could be considered a spoiler, so from this point onward, there are major introductory spoilers.) Your focus shifts toward identity, capitalism, art, economics, communities, the forgotten, and everything that, in one way or another, circles back to that very delivery and the road leading to it. The path it reveals from an individual to a syste…

Скучная новелла, без геймплея и сюжета.

Like reading a really good book (with a really good soundtrack) and when you finish it you kinda just have to sit there thinking about it.

A fascinating narrative point and click game. A surreal world with interesting characters that bring to mind games like Disco Elysium, Citizen Sleeper and this year's Esoteric Ebb. The narrative is not afraid to take its time and focus on the people that inhabit this world and what makes them tick. I respect the slow pacing but at times it was truly glacial with nothing important being said in certain moments. Despite that occasional frustration and some finnicky movement controls, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It will leave me thinking about it and it's themes for some time.

This world is not my home, I'm just passin' through My treasures and my hopes are placed beyond the blue Many friends and kin have gone on before And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh lord you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home oh lord what will I do Angels beckon me to heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore I have a loving mother up in glory land And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's waitin' now for me in heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh lord you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home oh lord what will I do Angels beckon me to heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
