Kentucky Route Zero: In and Out of Context | Static Canvas
In February of this year the podcast series Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games announced a spin off focusing on Cardboard Computer's magnum opus Kentucky Route Zero, act by act over the course of twelve weeks. It would be my first time playing the game, an experience inexorably intertwined with the minds of others, and as one seeped into the other, I began to question the role of the audience in understanding works of art. This video is a story about my experience, what I saw, how I interpreted and the thoughts that led me to eventually break away from the plan of action I had originally set for myself, and attempt to reclaim my own sense of identity from the work.
