Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway running through the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it.
Kentucky Route Zero is a game in five acts, which we've been developing and publishing episodically for several years. It is available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS as 'Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition' and, in partnership with Annapurna Interactive, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox One as 'Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition.' These two editions are the same aside from the platforms they run on. Both editions include all five acts as well as the free 'interlude' games we made between episodes, and are playable in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, or Russian.
