A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Mysterious fixes for mysterious bugs
2024-08-28 20:12 UTC · Community Announcements · cardboardcomputer
- Fix mysteriously relocating save data on macOS. - Fix mysteriously invisible text. - Fix mysteriously unlit overworld map locations. Mac users: if your save data is currently missing, please check the folder (deep breath): "~/Library/Containers/KentuckyRouteZero/Library/Application Support/CardboardComputer/KentuckyRouteZero" The save files in that folder are named "save.krz" (maybe also "save-1.krz" and "save-2.krz"). You can copy these to their correct folder: "~/Library/Application Support/CardboardComputer/KentuckyRouteZero". Sorry for the inconvenience! xoxo cc
You're not dreaming: Kentucky Route Zero now has an "anti-aliasing" option!
2024-08-20 19:41 UTC · Community Announcements · cardboardcomputer
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 Holmér for helping us work out the new line renderer! Sound-lovers, check your install
Annapurna announces a collector's edition containing 12 of their best games, but should you buy it?
2023-10-25 10:03 UTC · VG247
Two months from today it'll be Christmas Day, which is a terrifying realisation. But merch company iam8bit are hoping they have you covered if there's a big Annapurna fan in your life. They've just announced the Annapurna Interactive Deluxe Limited Edition Collection for the Nintendo Switch, which is such a mouthful that the title alone feels like it justifies a $200 price tag. Yes, the Annapurna Interactive Deluxe Limited Edition Collection for the Nintendo Switch will set you back $200 — equivalent to roughly £165 if you live in the UK, and that's not counting some potentially hefty internat
Fixes for Windows 7 and 8
2023-08-28 21:18 UTC · Community Announcements · cardboardcomputer
This patch fixes an issue on Windows 7 and 8 that could cause a crash, black screen, or a missing cursor. Stay strong, paleo-computers! Your refusal to upgrade in the face of planned obsolescence is an inspiration to us all.
Patch for Chinese text issues on Windows
2023-08-24 22:27 UTC · Community Announcements · cardboardcomputer
This patch works around text rendering problems in both Chinese languages, including some characters disappearing and some appearing garbled, which have come up on some Windows computers. We are still working on some refinements to rendering Chinese text. A related issue happens on some Mac M1 computers & we'll address that in the next few days. Thanks for your patience!

Kentucky Route Zero's Postmodern update makes it more readable on the Steam Deck
2023-08-21 13:17 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun
Developer Cardboard Computer sporadically released their poetic adventure game, Kentucky Route Zero, in acts spread across multiple years. It was a teasing release schedule that only aided the game’s surreal mystery, so it’s no surprise that the studio have dropped the game’s first major update three years after the fifth and final chapter wrapped things up. The aptly named Postmodern Update overhauls the game’s user interface with a new Modern mode, alongside a host of bug fixes and more language options. “The new ‘Modern’ interface is designed to be more flexible and readable on a wide
Postmodern Update
2023-08-17 17:20 UTC · Community Announcements · Jake
We're excited to share with you our first major update to Kentucky Route Zero since the release of Act V in 2020. This update includes a major overhaul of the user interface, called "Modern" mode, new language support and improvements to existing translations, and a sprawling rhizome of bug fixes and improvements. The new "Modern" interface is designed to be more flexible and readable on a wider variety of devices, including tablets and the Steam Deck. But we've also overhauled and improved the "Classic" interface from the original release, and its lo-fi companion, "Retro." With these interfac

Kentucky Route Zero's magical realism hides the raw economic realities of abandoned towns
2020-10-23 09:06 UTC · Eurogamer
A while back, the BBC did a series on the trains that travel across the hills of India. These were services built during British rule, engines still humming along thanks to sheer determination. The last episode visited Shimla, the summer capital of British India, including the Chapslee Estate. It had turned into a small hotel, where the now-deceased Kanwar Singh spoke fondly of its charms. He described his services not as a business selling accommodation or food, but selling an "ambience" of a previous age. Kentucky Route Zero, a point-and-click adventure that was a decade in the making and th
Kentucky Route Zero's robot band just released an EP of chill synth jams

Looking back, I reckon Kentucky Route Zero‘s third act might’ve been the best of the lot. That it was the act to introduce wandering musicians Johnny and Junebug playing no small part in that impression. This week, the fictional duo took their music out of the supernatural road trip with an EP full of sad robot love songs – a perfect soundtrack for getting lonely with on these rainy October afternoons.
