This review took me so long to write. Back in 2013, Kentucky Route Zero was one of the first games I ever wrote about professionally. That piece isn't even online anymore, so I couldn't tell you exactly what I said, but I do remember it was a tough endeavor. This game was funded on Kickstarter and sought to release five episodes. There was a lot to say about it, but also nothing.

It was atmospheric, mostly, capturing the pastoral and gloomy color palette that'll carry over into the other episodes — called Acts — along with the setup for a story involving a truck driver named Conway on his final delivery. To get there, he has to find the Zero, a mysterious highway system that he learns about through a series of ever-increasingly weird and possibly supernatural people.
