Kentucky Route Zero: PC Edition

This world is not my home, I'm just passin' through My treasures and my hopes are placed beyond the blue Many friends and kin have gone on before And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh lord you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home oh lord what will I do Angels beckon me to heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore I have a loving mother up in glory land And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's waitin' now for me in heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh lord you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home oh lord what will I do Angels beckon me to heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Absolute theater!

The Great American Novel but is a video game. Hardly a "game", hardly even a "story" this may best be described as a digital art exhibition that rumbles on from stop to stop like the roadtrip that frames it. The atmosphere is nicely dreary and melancholic, the characters are *somehow* likeable and it felt like I got to know them in some dense and intimate moments. Recommendation for artsy types who like Cormac McCarthy and Jim Jarmusch and Kurt Vonnegut.

人生游戏。以五幕剧的形式嵌入大量的文学性文本（《百年孤独》《等待戈多》）和后现代主义漫游（有节奏缓慢的文艺公路片质感），加上超现实和魔幻的美术风格成就的一部兼具孤独、悲伤、绝望和温暖、救赎、故乡的天人之作。山洞中雇工的残影、迷幻药般的森林、被遗忘的仙都、回声河上的长久漂泊与两匹马的葬礼。经历了无数白噪音后的歌是星空下无人聆听的表演，是只在背景中掠过的民谣歌手的影子，是废墟上新的家园。所有人都被自己支离破碎的回忆刺杀与放逐，被社会机器所规训，旧的住宅成为陈列品，老式教堂变成隐形工厂，然而就是有那么几个人一直渴望逃离，逃到一个在自己能进入以前就已经逝去的时空里。于是我们沿着从未存在的零号线奋力前行，穿过无数梦与无数虚幻，抵达我们唯一拥有的最后的真实——只存在于回忆中的，等候被重建的，我们的故乡。

More of a dream story than a game. Multiple paths depending on choices you make. Takes you to an alternate reality
