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.

Newly added updates:

• Gamepad support is now available!
• Pacing improvements for "The Entertainment" interlude playthrough experience.
• Additional gameplay improvements, including better readability and layouts for the Ephemera, improved camera framing during dialog and easier map navigation.
• A bug fix that enables players to seamlessly switch languages within the game.
• Improved caption and text legibility support in select languages.

Features:

• A complete story. Originally published episodically over a span of years, all five acts and the interludes can now be experienced together.
• A striking visual style that draws from theater, film, experimental electronic art and the history of video games.
• A haunting electronic score and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.

Created by Cardboard Computer and Annapurna Interactive.

Hated it but then it hit me

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.

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.

I never leave reviews, but…

This game is an emotional exploration into capitalism and loss, with a touch of authentic Americana. It’s really more of an art piece, like a play, than it is a typical video game. Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re into obscure games that tell a bigger story, this is for you. It’s been months since I finished the final chapter and I still find myself thinking back to this story and its characters often. It’s a low poly masterpiece that makes you sympathize with faceless protagonists, and the music is phenomenally dreamy yet sad.
