'Kentucky Route Zero' (ALL) Comes To Consoles, Gets Final Act - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 8, 2020 @ 12:15 a.m. PST

Kentucky Route Zero is an adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it.

Over five acts, the game follows a group of lost travelers -- an aging driver making the last delivery for a doomed antique shop; a young woman who fixes obsolete TVs surrounded by ghosts; a child and his giant eagle companion; a pair of robot musicians -- as they wander the disorienting and magical Route Zero.

An antique furniture delivery man trying to make his small shop's last delivery gets lost along the way and meets a haunted TV repairwoman, a young boy and his giant eagle brother, a pair of robot musicians, and dozens of other characters. Together, they explore the nocturnal highways and country roads of Kentucky, the storied Echo River by ferry, and the mysterious Route Zero, the secret highway that runs through Mammoth Cave.

Kentucky Route Zero features an original electronic score by Ben Babbitt along with a suite of old hymns & bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.


Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition, the complete edition of all acts and interludes of the magical realist point and click adventure game will launch for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2020.

To coincide with the launch of the complete anthology on console, Cardboard Computer will also be releasing and publishing the fifth and final act for PC as Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition on the same date. All acts and interludes that are included in the TV Edition will be available on Steam through the Kentucky Route Zero - Season Pass on January 28.
