We've just published an update to KRZ including the following:
- Advanced line rendering. Thin lines are now legible on arbitrarily high-resolution displays. It's future-proof! (We should be so lucky.)
- You're not dreaming: Kentucky Route Zero now has an "anti-aliasing" option!
- Change the font weight and line thickness together by adjusting the "Lines" option in the new "Era" menu.
- Shadowy repairs to the mysterious "Wrongler."
- Many bug-fixes and text corrections.
Special thanks to the legendary Freya Holmr for helping us work out the new line renderer!

Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway in the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it.
Developed by Cardboard Computer (Jake Elliott and Tamas Kemenczy), the game features an original score by Ben Babbitt, along with a suite of old hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers.
The game is split into five acts. Acts I, II and III are available now. The remaining two acts will be released as they're completed. Taken as a whole, Kentucky Route Zero is roughly the length of a summer night.
Key Features
A focus on characterization, atmosphere and storytelling rather than clever puzzles or challenges of skill.
A unique art treatment inspired by theatrical set design.
A haunting score accompanies the ambient sounds of the bluegrass state.
