Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Love it.
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.
One of a kind
Five Stars for this favorite game. Amazing how such a deceptively simple game can fire curiosity and wonder in a Twilight Zone-like atmosphere. Replays are rewarded with dialog choices that may or may not affect the story, but also lend a wonderful sense of life. Unfortunately, I’ll likely never play the mobile version since I’m not about to purchase a Netflix subscriptions just to play KRZ away from home. Zero stars for that feature —and I so wanted to see how the text dialog boxes were handled on mobile . . .
Gorgeous Game
I absolutely loved this game. The art and music are beautiful as well as the story. However, it is by no means a flashy or fast paced and it frankly felt akin to reading a book in a lot of ways. It’s around 10 hours long and split up into 5 chapters, so definitely longer than what you could play in one sitting. Although I would definitely recommend giving it a shot for the touching narrative and charming cast of characters.
