It has been a long time coming for the final installment ofKentucky Route Zero, which has been worked on by developer Cardboard Computer for nearly a decade. The game’s five Acts have been gradually released over the course of the last seven years (along with several inter-episode “Interludes”), with each installment further drawing players into the world of its titular magical roads underneath the state of Kentucky. While I myself haven’t played the final chapter of the game just yet, I’m looking forward to finally getting the chance to discover how the story of Conway and the rest of the game’s cast comes to a close.
Kentucky Route Zerois available now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and Linux. For a closer listen into the game, you can find the full soundtrack below from Spotify. Stay tuned as well for our upcoming review of the game’sTV Edition.
