    Longest and the best Act so far. The addition of new characters creates better dialogue options than before (Ezra!) ,the story is evolving to be quite a surreal one, what with all the places and characters you'll be seeing all throughout 15ish scenes.

    The third act of Kentucky Route Zero is on the continuing path of each act improving upon the other this fantastically surreal and poetic story continues to amaze
    my favourite moment in this act would have to be the musical piece "to late to love you"

    Kentucky Route Zero already contains some of the most surprising and fascinating things to happen in adventure gaming for quite some time, only three of its five acts in. Act III builds on the foundations of the first two acts, adding new characters to your party, filling in more of Conway's story, and featuring a starling musical sequence.

Cardboard Computer have justified its price tag with this act alone; when all five are released, this will be an essential purchase.… Expand

    It is very noticeable that Cardboard Computer put a lot of effort into the third act. I think it has like 13 scenes or something which makes it significantly longer than Act II which only has like 5. It is my favorite act so far and includes some back story and introduces new phenomenal and original characters.

It is my favorite act so far and includes some back story and introduces new phenomenal and original characters. It is full of mysterious and magical moments like I've never seen in a video game before. The story deliberately leaves me with unanswered questions and I have no idea where it's going to take me. My only problem with Act III is that scene 10 was too long and I wasn't really sure what I was doing.… Expand

    Skillfully written game with meaning, depth, and an array of subtext to pull from the story. The visuals are beautifully and enchanting, with a unique take on the Magical Realism genre. The OST is wonderful as well.

    I wont spoil the game but i will say what kinda game is this so that players can find them self if they like this type of game or not.
    First of all its a point & click Adventure game a very story driven game with choices.
    About Game itself well Kentucky Route Zero is a game that made me realize Games can reach or even surpass Movies in Emotion levels a big step taken by Cardboard    I wont spoil the game but i will say what kinda game is this so that players can find them self if they like this type of game or not.

Act III is probably the best one, pretty much explores friendship, debt, musical to goal and keeps its unique atmosphere. this game made me realize how Much a game can be beautiful.    … Expand

    Kentucky Route Zero is currently the best thing happening in the world of gaming. Seriously, no game on the market can match the way these individual episodes control tone, theme, and atmosphere. I'd say I can't wait for the next act, but my impatience is not a virtue when it comes to this game.

    An amazing game that had me blown away with the visuals, music, and storytelling. This act had me extremely impressed in particular, but I won't spoil anything. Yes, it is a slower game. There are (hardly) no puzzles, no collectables, no unlockables, no abilities. It's just you, your delivery, and a strange address you just can't seem to find. I'm not normally into point and clickAn amazing game that had me blown away with the visuals, music, and storytelling. This act had me extremely impressed in particular, but I won't spoil anything.

I'm not normally into point and click adventure games, but the art style and story of this game drew me in, so even if adventure games aren't your style, give the trailer a watch and decide if it interests you at all. It sure did me. Even though it's incomplete (with two more acts to go), it's worth picking up.… Expand

    Although I miss more... "game" elements (like in the other acts) I LOVE the mood of this game. Great story, great characters... totally worth playing it.

    Personalities are becoming brighter and more vivid. I no longer felt like I was making my best guess as to what a character would say, but rather making important choices for what they should say. The player's role as a director starts to feel solidified and important.

    Kentucky Route Zero’s excellent third act is no less weird than its predecessors, but hints at something unexpected: a coherent narrative.

    An absolute piece of after hours magic, not really a video game by any stretch. Just a bit of magic you've pulled in from the abyss and dressed up in interactive trappings before placing it on Steam. The set pieces are magnificent and so is that haunting, elegiac "Too Late To Love You Now" song. It's not about a particular meaning but about an experience.
