Kentucky Route Zero

The story follows Conway, a driver for Lysette's Antiques, Funiture, Glassware and Curiosities who ends up with his truck in the rural part of the state Kentucky in the USA. As he explores the environment looking for the Kentucky Route Zero highway to make his delivery, he meets different characters where the line between dream and reality is often blurred.

The gameplay is similar to a 3rd-person point-and-click adventure. Conway can be moved around and objects or persons that can be interacted with are highlighted with actions such as examine or use. The game has no inventory and only minor puzzle-solving elements. Most of the gameplay is narrative driven with dialogue options in conversations that influence the events.

The goal of this approach is to adapt the story according to the player's choices. Many solutions to puzzles also need to be deducted through conversations rather than direct item combinations. The choices can be carried over to the next episode. At the start of a new act, the player can choose to continue based on the choices of the previous act, replay the previous act, or play the next act right away.

The overall experience is an adventure game with dream-like characters and locations in the magic realist tradition.
