Kentucky Route Zero

Magical realist adventure

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Unpayable debts. Abandoned futures. Mysterious travelers. Journey down a secret underground highway to find community in this mystical adventure game.

At twilight in Kentucky, as bird songs give way to the choir of frogs and insects, familiar roads become strange. It's easy to get lost. Those who are already lost may find their way to a secret highway winding through underground caves. The people who live and work along this highway seem a little strange at first but soon become familiar: the aging driver making the last delivery for a doomed antique shop; the young woman who fixes obsolete TVs surrounded by ghosts; the child and his giant eagle companion; the robot musicians; and the invisible power company lurking everywhere and the threadbare communities that struggle against its grip.

Features:

• A complete story. Originally published episodically over a span of years, all five acts and the interludes can now be experienced together.

• A striking visual style that draws from theater, film, experimental electronic art and the history of video games.

• A haunting electronic score and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.
