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.

Very nice release! Almost bought this on Steam, but this is much better! Thanks!

VanishedOne: 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
Wow, thank you so much! I tried both of them and I have to say I'm amazed at how much The Entertainment resembles a theatre of the absurd experiment. Seriously, if Ionesco or Beckett were still alive today, I could totally see them taking advantage of the video game medium and coming up with something quite similar to this.

Why the hell do I have to be poor? T-T The more I discover about this game, the more I want to experience it.

Was waiting for this.

Nice one, GOG!

Not into point-n-clicks these days, but the graphics in this game look very good.

This one looks really interesting. I've been eyeballing it since before Ep1 was out. I can't believe its taking them so long to release episodes for this. I'll wishlist and pick it up when everything released and it's a complete game. I don't like season passes.

@seadon passes: I can't imagine GOG signing into something if they were not sure it'll be completed. So, anywhere else - I would have my doubts. On GOG, I just trust those guys :)
Also, third day one purchase this year... nice, GOG, really nice.

I am not interested in this game but even if I was I'm not into buying unfinished game although there is one that is very tempting (Kerbal Space Program on Steam). I'd be more tempted if there was a money back warranty if the game is not finished by a certain date.

As some others have said, I'm not really interested until this thing is done. It does look intriguing, but I definitely would like a final verdict before I jump off the deep end. I mean, sure, it's good that GOG's adding more stuff to their library, but I've never been a fan of the 'in progress' seasons. *shrug*

All three releases were absolutely unexpected,

but that much more appreciated. Instabought :)

This game comes very close to the description "interactive art" The animation, though sparse. has a unique atmosphere to it. Play this on a silent night and let the surreal imagery and storyline flow over you.Highly recommended. I already have this on the Humble Indie Bundle, so I can play it natively in Linux. I am not a fan of episodic releases, but this one should not be missed, whether you buy it now or wait until the series will be complete.

This looks promising. I'm another who will wait until they finish it though.

As a Cincinnati native who does a lot of work in Kentucky (almost every day), I'm extremely happy to see this here. Some of the references to real cities (Elizabethtown), counties (Breathitt), and streets (Dixie Highway) give this title such a thick, dream-like vibe you could almost cut the sense of atmosphere with a knife.

And that music!

I went to my father-in-law's funeral/visitation recently down near Lexington and on the drive home I kept humming 'You've Got to Walk.' I don't recall if they actually played the song during the visitation but for some reason it was in my head; maybe I should show my wife that part of the game and see what she thinks.

Glad that GOG does an equivalent of "Early Access" too!
Wishlisted, will wait for the final release though.

First 2 Acts are great... but they came out Jan & May 2013 & acts 3-5 were supposed to be out throughout 2013. So I'd have no faith that they'll all come out in 2014. At their current speed we might only end up with another 1 or 2 Acts in the next whole year!
Buy it once they're all out.

Kerbal Space Program is a bit different - like minecraft was. It's the kind of game that is already really good and has a lot to do, and from now until X time it will continue to get more cool stuff to play with.

Kentucky Route Zero on the other hand... been waiting so long for the rest of the story. Really annoying. Was a great little experience though, DEFINITELY not your typical point and click.
