About

Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it. Gameplay is inspired by point-and-click adventure games (like the classic Monkey Island or King's Quest series, or more recently Telltale's Walking Dead series), but focused on characterization, atmosphere and storytelling rather than clever puzzles or challenges of skill.

Personalities are becoming brighter and more vivid. I no longer felt like I was making my best guess as to what a character would say, but rather making important choices for what they should say. The player's role as a director starts to feel solidified and important.

The game's meanings aren't simple, its logic not straightforward. It is, in its own way, as dreamlike as a typical Haruki Murakami novel, and every bit as captivating. Like Murakami's work, 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.

Cet acte n'est pas une cuisante déception, loin de là. Il possède ses fulgurences, ses moments prenants et garde la sublime identité visuelle des actes précédents. Malheureusement, quelques défauts que l'on ne ressentait pas auparavant pointent ici le bout de leur nez, notamment un rythme très inégal avec des séquences en deçà d'un point de vue qualitatif.
