Kentucky route zero walkthrough9/2/2023 ![]() ![]() And then there are also moments in which you jump in your truck and drive across various routes. In another it is up to you to decide the lyrics of a song being sung. In one section you will find that there are two conversations going on simultaneously in the split-screen. ![]() Dialogue trees occur all the time and there are different choices to make throughout, playing cleverly with the form as well as changing the perspective constantly. This normally starts a conversation with a character as a sequence of events starts to unfold. Kentucky Route Zero plays out as a point and click game where you can move the characters around the space or area, waiting for an icon to go green so that you can interact with it. The gameplay itself is very simple to get hold of. Well yes, it is, and I loved every minute of it.

And it has to be said that some sequences will stay with you forever like one in an empty bar that, with the notes of a song, literally takes the roof off.

If you’re not a fan of the narrative arc in a game and just want action, then unfortunately you’re going to struggle here, and certainly won’t get much from this game. If you’re a fan of writing and stories then you have come to the right place, and this is probably one of the most interesting, unique and brilliant pieces of writing ever to grace the gaming world. ![]()
