## Kentucky Route Zero Description
Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Unpayable debts. Abandoned futures. Mysterious travelers. Journey down a secret underground highway to find community in this mystical adventure game.

At twilight in Kentucky, as bird songs give way to the choir of frogs and insects, familiar roads become strange. It's easy to get lost. Those who are already lost may find their way to a secret highway winding through underground caves. The people who live and work along this highway seem a little strange at first but soon become familiar: the aging driver making the last delivery for a doomed antique shop; the young woman who fixes obsolete TVs surrounded by ghosts; the child and his giant eagle companion; the robot musicians; and the invisible power company lurking everywhere and the threadbare communities that struggle against its grip.

Newly added updates:

• Gamepad support is now available!
• Pacing improvements for "The Entertainment" interlude playthrough experience.
• Additional gameplay improvements, including better readability and layouts for the Ephemera, improved camera framing during dialog and easier map navigation.
• A bug fix that enables players to seamlessly switch languages within the game.
• Improved caption and text legibility support in select languages. 

Features: 

• A complete story. Originally published episodically over a span of years, all five acts and the interludes can now be experienced together.
• A striking visual style that draws from theater, film, experimental electronic art and the history of video games.
• A haunting electronic score and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.

## Kentucky Route Zero Reviews in United States

### *---- "Requires a Netflix subscription"
Wish I’d been told this requires a subscription to Netflix before downloading the app. I won’t be joining Netflix so now I’m off to delete the app.
-- SuperNovaJoe, 2025-08-03

### ****- "One Gripe"
Could you please make an update where you hide the homebar on iPhone? Almost all game devs do this and it’s a real eyesore in an otherwise beautiful game
-- B.O.T.H., 2025-03-21

### **--- "Unplayable on mobile don’t waste your time."
You’ll have a terrible time playing this on your phone. Good luck.
-- Mamooncakes, 2025-02-25

### ***** "Blown away"
As a fan of David lynch style storytelling and heavier dialogue games like disco Elysium this absolotely blew me away. Storyline is original and well executed. You have no idea where it’s going next. The visuals are so aesthetically pleasing in a dark way and there’s plenty of both sad and funny moments in this. Over half thru thu the game and can’t wait to see how it resolves
-- Pangoat, 2025-01-31

### ***** "Hated it but then it hit me"
I thought this was going to be a fun, enjoyable video game. It is not. A lot what they talk about, like XANADU, is real. This is real stuff that happened in computer science history, like browsing the internet “a single line of text at a time”. If you are one of the few looking for an opportunity to learn about the history of computers in the most off-handed, yet user-friendly way possible, then this is for you.

It is a story about how the extremely hard-to-navigate information superhighway of the 60s, 70s, and 80s became the internet. 
If you’re looking for more, look into how Marc Andreessen developed Mosaic.
-- Djfiwmduejfjsjfcisjfjcjsjd, 2024-05-27

### ***** "I never leave reviews, but…"
This game is an emotional exploration into capitalism and loss, with a touch of authentic Americana. It’s really more of an art piece, like a play, than it is a typical video game. Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re into obscure games that tell a bigger story, this is for you. It’s been months since I finished the final chapter and I still find myself thinking back to this story and its characters often. It’s a low poly masterpiece that makes you sympathize with faceless protagonists, and the music is phenomenally dreamy yet sad.
-- leewm3, 2024-05-23

### ****- "Controller support please"
…Backbone support!
-- Rortenzi, 2024-01-07

### **--- "It tries. If you’re caffeinated."
This is not a “game” it’s a very, very, slow choose your own adventure book. If youre on an airplane, in jail or stuck on a 16hr bus, MAYBE you’ll find this amusing. It’s basically like ready a book, one line and a time and clicking to get to the next line. God bless those who have the patience or lack of energy to try and follow this mess.
-- Geonuty, 2023-10-15

### ***** "Gorgeous Game"
I absolutely loved this game. The art and music are beautiful as well as the story. However, it is by no means a flashy or fast paced and it frankly felt akin to reading a book in a lot of ways. It’s around 10 hours long and split up into 5 chapters, so definitely longer than what you could play in one sitting. Although I would definitely recommend giving it a shot for the touching narrative and charming cast of characters.
-- _.hemasriiiii._, 2023-07-01

### *---- "No guidance"
You have to figure out every single mechanic from scratch and when most of them are wildly different from standard, having no guidance is a mistake. I made it to the weird bird thing?? And flew around the entire map for a looong time and made no progress because nothing was explained and there are no hints
-- Eleven melons are yelling, 2023-05-30

### ***** "Love it."
I’ve never really had a piece of interactive media that felt so right to me. I play a bit, pause, but I always come back to it, wondering what’s happening next. I see myself in Ezra, Conway, Shannon, Junebug, etc. I can just sit for minutes sinking into the ambience. There are scenes when I’m supposed to be clicking on something to advance but I don’t realize it because I’m content just sitting there and looking and being present. For someone with ADHD who usually plays hyper stimulating games like Valorant or League, that’s saying something.
-- Juniper Jang, 2023-04-30

### *---- "Game literally unplayable without Netflix account"
Just a scum y cash grab from an already scummy company. Can’t even play the game without a Netflix subscription. PASS.
-- Shower Steve, 2023-04-29

### ***** "One of a kind"
Five Stars for this favorite game. Amazing how such a deceptively simple game can fire curiosity and wonder in a Twilight Zone-like atmosphere. Replays are rewarded with dialog choices that may or may not affect the story, but also lend a wonderful sense of life. Unfortunately, I’ll likely never play the mobile version since I’m not about to purchase a Netflix subscriptions just to play KRZ away from home. Zero stars for that feature —and I so wanted to see how the text dialog boxes were handled on mobile . . .
-- MacSalvaged?, 2023-04-20

### **--- "Reading extravaganza"
If you like reading your games instead of playing, this one’s for you! While the animation and art direction here is excellent, it is no game in my humble opinion. It’s something akin to an interactive book — and should be marketed as such so people aren’t duped into investing their precious life minutes on something they thought might be fun. Sorry but, unless you have nothing else to do I’d avoid this “game”.
-- Dullbulb, 2023-04-06

### ***-- "Agree w/ boner"
This game stated good, was very different but entertaining then I got stuck in some boring conversations in a bar & even though you can kind of fast forward what they say, by holding down, it kept going on for more than a half hour!  I couldn't take it anymore so I ended the game, and later when I re-opened it again, I had to start right from the beginning! So not worth it to me..
-- Birdy24eva, 2023-03-10

### *---- "Was liking game until…."
Could not get into the mine, no matter what I tried. Frustrating. So I dumped it.
-- Whos7here, 2023-03-01

### ***** "Great port of the best interactive fiction game of all time"
This is my favorite game of all time, and I think it’s a great fit for mobile. Adding a zoom feature and altering the text box UX makes this game very playable on a smaller device, but I think it really shines on an iPad. Play through a few acts a night before bed and I’m positive by the end of it you will be glad you did.
-- SnailApologist, 2023-02-24

### ***** "It’s more like a book than a game"
…
-- greenTeaFrappuccino, 2023-02-06

### ***-- "It’s ok"
It got really boring at the museum of dwellings so I stopped playing and deleted.
-- anothertenor, 2023-02-04

### *---- "I really wanted to like this game."
I don’t know if it’s the whole Netflix ownership thing or what but this game got unplayable by act 3. Started great but  The Xanadu part became so boring it violated the Geneva convention. I had no clue what to do and it took half an hour of bumbling only to leave the game and when I signed back in was forced to start that painful process over again. Maybe there needs to be a better save function to avoid hours of lost playtime but this snoozefest became as entertaining as a vasectomy. 

Very disappointed.
