❤ Exploration and Discovery

As the player, you control Conway, a truck driver making his final delivery. You navigate through rural Kentucky, often using a stylized overhead map to travel between locations. Exploration is open-ended, allowing you to examine your surroundings and discover new people and places at your own pace. You'll encounter a variety of strange and memorable characters, from a young woman repairing vintage televisions surrounded by ghosts to robot musicians playing haunting melodies.

❤ Dialogue and Choices

Much of the gameplay involves conversing with the characters you meet. Dialogue options let you steer the tone and personality of your responses, influencing the attitudes and reactions of others. While these choices don't dramatically alter the story's outcome, they give you a sense of agency in shaping the protagonist's identity and the interpersonal dynamics within this surreal, dreamlike world.

❤ Atmospheric Storytelling

Rather than traditional gameplay mechanics, the experience prioritizes creating a rich, immersive atmosphere. The striking visual style, haunting soundtrack, and evocative text-based narration work in tandem to draw you into the mysterious, melancholic setting of the Zero - a secret subterranean highway winding through Kentucky's caves. Moments of experimental gameplay, such as text-based "interludes" that interrupt the main adventure, are intended to enhance the game's surreal, dreamlike quality.

❤ Player Interpretation

The open-ended structure and ambiguous storytelling encourage you to actively engage with and interpret the experience. There are no clear-cut goals or objectives - instead, the focus is on forging your own personal connections to the game's themes, characters, and world. While the overall narrative remains linear, the emphasis on atmosphere over traditional gameplay allows you to shape your own unique experience.
