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.

htown1980: 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.

rampancy: If you're interested, you can check out my review of it here, at Inside Mac Games. I'm generally one to shy away from episodic games, but I really think that Kentucky Route Zero is worth a look, if you give it a chance. It's one of the most unique "games" I've played in a long time.
Thanks mate, I'm picking it up now.

groze: We actually study some of Bradbury's work in my University and it definitely has magic realism elements. He was more of a science fiction, dystopian author, but magic realism is absolutely not incompatible with that genre.
"Dandelion Wine" mentioned by Judad is not SF :)

I'm aware of that, hence why I mentioned we approach some of his work and that he was more of a sci-fi author. :P

Episodic games where the episodes aren't all done yet are only a small step away from steam's "early access" concept. You're paying for something that isn't finished yet, and indeed may never be finished, where your money is supposed to be helping the dev complete the game.

Pass.

even though the first episode isn't very long and obviously ends with a cliff-hanger, it's a finished thing and it's a final thing (no bugs, no things that will eventually change or be replaced by something)

it's really not that similar :)

but it's of course your right to pass...

I'll look into the first episode once the 5th is released and is bugfree.

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

tokisto: YAY! That´s the way I like it! :)
Check your account as we just got the FLACs fresh outta the oven :)

People who are uncertain whether they'd enjoy this game could try the interludes, which are free to download; I've posted links in the KRZ subforum: http://www.gog.com/forum/kentucky_route_zero_season_pass/interludes

They would be a nice bonus for GOG release.
Thanks for the links - is there any order in which I should play?

The release order is L&D followed by TE. http://cardboardcomputer.com/2014/02/10/act-iii-progress-update/ says TE has implications which will become apparent in Act III. L&D ties into a sequence in Act I. But Act III isn't out yet, and L&D will feel as though it didn't make much obvious sense whether you've played Act I or not, so it probably doesn't matter that much; just enjoy the ride. :-)

Certainly will :) Thanks!

Looking at the trailer and screenshots, I like how the graphics look, with the dynamic lighting and beautiful scenery. Dunno, it's just appealing to me.
