Kentucky Route Zero

Could you please make an update where you hide the homebar on iPhone? Almost all game devs do this and it’s a real eyesore in an otherwise beautiful game

I thought this was going to be a fun, enjoyable video game. It is not. A lot what they talk about, like XANADU, is real. This is real stuff that happened in computer science history, like browsing the internet “a single line of text at a time”. If you are one of the few looking for an opportunity to learn about the history of computers in the most off-handed, yet user-friendly way possible, then this is for you. It is a story about how the extremely hard-to-navigate information superhighway of the 60s, 70s, and 80s became the internet. If you’re looking for more, look into how Marc Andreessen developed Mosaic.

I’ve never really had a piece of interactive media that felt so right to me. I play a bit, pause, but I always come back to it, wondering what’s happening next. I see myself in Ezra, Conway, Shannon, Junebug, etc. I can just sit for minutes sinking into the ambience. There are scenes when I’m supposed to be clicking on something to advance but I don’t realize it because I’m content just sitting there and looking and being present. For someone with ADHD who usually plays hyper stimulating games like Valorant or League, that’s saying something.
