I'm a fan of adventure games, and I really like the art style. It looks a whole lot like the Lucasarts adventure games of the 90s.. for a second I thought I was watching a Full Throttle trailer.

Anyway, adventure game set in apparently a network of roads located in the caves under Kentucky, filled with magical stuff.

So, that being said, has anyone purchased this yet? I've watched a very limited amount of LP on it, but really am trying to avoid seeing even minor spoilers. If you have purchased it, do you think it has potential to continue?

I have not played it, and seen no game play of it, but im really loving the art style from the trailer, ill probably wait to get it tough, dont want to finish a chapter to find out im waiting for more and still have to wait.

I played through the first chapter and it was awesome. But it was so short.
It's replayable: there are a lot of weird and awesome dialogue options. And I don't think I saw everything the first time I went through it.

Watching LPs is like reading spoilers for this game. You should avoid doing it. And yes, it has great potential for a great story.

As a Kentuckian I think it's legally required for me to be interested in this.

Well, I purchased this (KRZ, Ep I).

First off,

DO NOT WATCH ANY LP's ON THIS GAME IF YOU ARE EVEN REMOTELY INTERESTED IN PLAYING IT


Seriously, this is a game which has some great qualities, but they all are basically nothing if you watch the whole first episode without experiencing the pacing, the controls, and full quality audio. I won't discuss any plot event on this thread until later episodes come out.

The game starts with no menus, no introduction, nothing. You are thrust into a scene, you figure out rather quickly who you are controlling, and you start to build from there.

First off, graphics are consistent, clean, and effective. Neat ambiance with slick visual effects. Transitions between areas really flow well, and the game handles the use of light and dark very, very well. They've put every bit as much thought into light as was put into Alan Wake, and that's saying a lot.

There's some really subtle and fantastic "camera" effects throughout the game. Most of them go along with the plot perfectly, and once you do some analysis, they really make sense. The map navigation screen is disorienting and slightly overwhelming, which I'm pretty sure is intended.

For the most part, this game is extremely quiet, but it changes volume without warning. There are some downright bone-chilling sound effects throughout - and they are almost always unexpected.  I am really disappointed that there isn't any voice acting- at the price point this game is, it really should have it, especially with as much time and care that has been spent with the other audio material.

My experience was Episode I is 2 - 2.5 hrs in length. This is with a tremendous amount of exploring in effort to see absolutely everything possible. There were a few small puzzles, but nothing extremely complex.  The story takes a while to unfold, and there is some very deliberate pacing devices throughout to keep the exposition of plot slow.

I think it's a good buy for people who enjoy adventure games or "art" games such as Machinarium, To The Moon, Braid, etc. If you didn't enjoy any of the aforementioned, you'll likely feel as though this game is too expensive for the amount of content and very slow paced.


I said I wouldn't say anything about the plot, but I named my dog Homer.

The price point is a wee bit high for my taste, assuming the length of each section is roughly similar. Probably going to wait until a sale/I have spare cash, but it does sound interesting.
