Kentucky Route Zero is a point-and-click adventure interactive fiction game developed by Cardboard Computer and published by Annapurna Interactive.
The game follows the narrative of a truck driver named Conway and the strange people he meets as he tries to cross the mysterious Route Zero in Kentucky to make a final delivery for the antiques company for which he works.
The game is divided into five acts, with the first released in 2013 and the last in 2020. It has been praised for its visual art, narrative, characterization, atmosphere, and themes, appearing on several best-of-the-decade lists.
The game was influenced by the works of Gabriel García Márquez, Flannery O'Connor, and other Southern Gothic writers, as well as David Lynch. It has been described as an "interactive screenplay". The game was released for Android and iOS in 2022, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2023.
During a section of the game in a derelict construction site there is a orange/white colored forklift parked in the middle of the grounds.
