    Kentucky Route Zero<\/em><\/strong> is a magical realist
    \nadventure game about a secret highway that runs through the caves beneath
    \nKentucky. The three of us at Cardboard Computer have been working on this game
    \nfor almost 10 years, publishing episodes, free \u2018interlude\u2019 games, and other odd
    \nobjects (a play, a T.V. station, a hotline for secret tourism) as we go. Now,
    \nwe\u2019re happy to say that the story is complete, and you can play the whole thing
    \nfrom start to finish in Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition<\/em><\/strong> on Xbox
    \nOne, on January 28. <\/p>\n

    Whether this is your first trip on Route Zero or your last,
    \nit\u2019s only a few weeks away. So, we\u2019ll help you prepare with our Rambler\u2019s Guide
    \nto Route Zero:<\/p>\n

    \"Kentucky<\/figure>\n

    Gas Stations<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We recommend you fill your tank somewhere on the surface
    \nbefore heading underground. There are gas stations down there, too, but they seem
    \nto move around from night to night. Equus Oils, right off Interstate 65, is a
    \ngood place to start your trip. While you\u2019re there, be sure to say
    \n\u201chello\u201d to Joseph, who works the night shift; he\u2019ll be able to get
    \nyou pointed in the right direction, more or less.<\/p>\n

    \"Kentucky<\/figure>\n

    Caves and Rivers<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The mysterious Route Zero runs through a twisty maze of
    \ncaves and rivers beneath Kentucky, the famous Mammoth Cave System. Dedicated
    \nvideo game historians may note that Mammoth Cave is also the site of seminal
    \n1976 text adventure game, Colossal Cave Adventure<\/em> \u2014 though we have to
    \nsay the caves you\u2019ll pass through on the Zero are a bit friendlier and more
    \ndensely populated than in that earlier game. <\/p>\n

    Those who live and work along the Zero follow familiar
    \npatterns. They go to work, maybe bottling whiskey at the Hard Times Distillery
    \nor administering memory experiments at the Radvansky Center. After work you\u2019ll
    \nfind many of them at The Rum Colony, a lakeside bar famous for exotic drinks.
    \nSome go to church, perhaps at Saint Thomas, in whatever building it\u2019s found a
    \nhome these days.<\/p>\n

    \"Kentucky<\/figure>\n

    Art & Music<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s said that the distinguished installation artist Lula
    \nChamberlain has made her home somewhere along the Zero. In fact, you can see a
    \nrare retrospective of her work on display now, so we hope you\u2019ll make time for
    \na visit! If you or your travel companions are art lovers, stop by any one of
    \nthe galleries or museums that dot the region. I\u2019ve heard there\u2019s an interesting
    \nphoto exhibit on the river. And of course there\u2019s the colossal Museum of
    \nDwellings. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s quite ready for visitors yet, but it wouldn\u2019t
    \nhurt to stop by and peek in the windows, even at night.<\/p>\n

    There\u2019s always music in the air, so keep your radio in good
    \nworking order. And don\u2019t be shy with the dial \u2014 you\u2019ll find some stations
    \nrequire a little elbow grease to tune into. If your radio is broken, or you simply
    \nprefer the intimacy of a live concert, you\u2019re sure to stumble across a late
    \nnight show in some obscure tavern. It\u2019s easier to find if you\u2019re not looking
    \nfor it.<\/p>\n

    \"Kentucky<\/figure>\n

    Weather<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Of course, we hope your trip isn\u2019t clouded by ugly weather,
    \nbut you\u2019d better prepare for rain \u2014 both above and below ground. Some of these
    \ncaves are quite large, and waterways such as the Echo River and Lake Lethe help
    \nto create subterranean microclimates. We recommend carrying an umbrella and an extra
    \nlayer of clothing, even in summer. The cave air is much cooler than the
    \nsurface; it\u2019s a nice place to escape the heat, so long as you don\u2019t get lost.
    \nOr, if you want to get lost, that\u2019s OK too.<\/p>\n

    See, a little preparation goes a long way. Have a good trip, and we\u2019ll see you in a few weeks on January 28 when Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition<\/em><\/strong> is released for Xbox One.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
