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.

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

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

BreOl72: I'm a bit cynical today, sorry - but one could say if the devs finish them.

From Wiki:
Release date(s):

January 7, 2013 (Act I)
May 31, 2013 (Act II)

Seems they're a little bit behind, hm? And still three episodes to come...this may take some time.
Well, there is a small update on Act III :)

Hope that helps somewhat :)

BreOl72: Erm,...sorry, I think, I don't understand your question.

Kunovski: well, both acts I and II were scheduled to be released last year, and they are available now, so they must have been released last year...

or are the acts not the same as episodes? (meaning that each "act" contains 5 episodes?)
Acts = episodes in this case :)

groze: GOG has been releasing some very interesting new titles in the past weeks! Octodad, Blackguards, The Banner Saga, Jazzpunk and now this one. People who complain about GOG getting more recent games will keep complaining, I guess, but for those of us who not only "don't mind" but actually welcome GOG adding good new games to their catalog, this year started out amazingly well, in that department. I would go as far as to say the newer titles have been getting me more interested and hyped than most of the old ones that have been released alongside them.

So, thank you, GOG, for all your hard work and community love.

Once again, this game has been around for more than a year, but I'm just finding about it now, and I must say I'm sold on the concept alone, as I'm a huge fan of magic realism literature (I love my Borges and my Márquez, but I particularly enjoy the seminal magic realism works by Juan Rulfo) and I'm really intrigued to see how well they crafted a video game around that sub-genre. I'm guessing it relies a lot on storytelling, which is more than fine by me, but, then again, with the little I know about the game, I can already see the close-minded "hardcore" purists arguing this is "not even a game". I'm also a big fan of the art direction, from what I can see, and I think it's absolutely perfect to convey a magic realist world.

I'm not a huge fan of season passes and episodic content -- I pre-ordered the Broken Sword 5 season pass here on GOG because I loved the first two games, they're definitely part of point-and-click adventure games' history, and I wanted to support Revolution in their return to form, but that's the only game in episodic content release I've ever purchased --, but I would be more than willing to buy this one, if only for the two acts already available. Unfortunately, I'm between jobs, unemployed, with no source of income, right now, and I'll have to pass, for the time being.

But, hey!, thanks to GOG for piquing my interest two weeks in a row! I'm really sad and frustrated I couldn't buy Jazzpunk, last week, and, now, Kentucky Route Zero, but I definitely wishlisted them both. Let's just wait for better days to come, soon, so I can enjoy these games! :)
If you like magic realism, then perhaps you already know of Ray Bradbury and his work? :)

Novotnus: If you count Ray Bradbury into magic realism, I guess Vonnegut counts too ;)
Well, I would consider "Dandelion Wine" to be somewhat close to magic realism, no?
