The route less travelled.

Kentucky Route Zero - Season Pass, giving you access to all 5 acts of the sensational adventure title that takes very original approach to gameplay and design, is now available 50% off for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com. That's only $12.49 for the first 48 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/kentucky_route_zero_season_pass]Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it. Developed by Cardboard Computer (Jake Elliott and Tamas Kemenczy), the game features an original score by Ben Babbitt, along with a suite of old hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers. The game is split into five acts. Act I and II are available now. The remaining three acts will be released over 2014. Taken as a whole, Kentucky Route Zero is roughly the length of a summer night. If you enjoy original adventure games and good music, you just can't say no to this one. MP3 Soundtracks included for both acts!

Get Kentucky Route Zero on GOG.com for only $12.49 today, and immerse yourself in the first two acts of this amazing tale right away! The 50% off special release discount offer lasts only until Wednesday, February 12, at 10:59AM GMT.

Hmmm... Mac version. Drm free. Not yet fully released so I don't have to add to my backlog yet. Not too long. I think I will buy.

GOG, you're killing my wallet.

Also, for those audiophiles in the crowd, we are waiting on the FLAC versions of both soundtracks so expect to see those soon :)

hah just realised something: whenever I see Season PASS it's an instand Pass for me...strange how the industry can have the opposite result on what they are trying to achieve...

the "pass" thing is not supposed to be a marketing thing to make you buy something, it's just a way for developers to start getting money while still developing :)

and I will buy for this prize!

I am no friend of these episodic game releases.
I think, I'll wait 'til all five episodes are done.

Then we can talk again.

anyone played act 1 + 2 or act 1 and can comment on how it is thus far?

its kinda vague about what happens in the game, not looking for spoilers, it could be a magical ride down an industrial mine shaft with laser tag down at the bottom for all i know.

glad to see it on GOG without having to wait for the whole thing to be finished, and having been sold elsewhere for ages before its 'revealed' here.

apologies if I'm asking the obvious but wtf is season pass?

I like it when Indie gaming is the equivalent to 'Art-house' cinema and not just another Metroid copying nostalgia fest (those DO have their place but market saturation point has been reached IMO) so this looks very interesting to me!

I've only read that it's an "unusual" adventure game that focuses on atmosphere and that nothing is what it seems... the first episode got rating of 9/10, and that (and the screenshots) are all I need to know :)

you pre-purchase the whole series so you'll get the remaining episodes when the devs finish them :)

that's not so bad then, other than the fact you will have to rely on the devs they will continue releasing good episodes

yes, there's always a risk with it, but the developers would have to be ultra assholes (and/or go bankrupt) to not finish what they started :)

the season pass business is quite popular these days (for example a SP for all the DLCs that were going to be released for Borderlands 2 so that you don't have to buy them individually and you save some money of course)

I feel the same way! This game looks and sounds fairly unique, I'll be picking it up soon.
