''Kentucky Route Zero'' is a point-and-click adventure game. Players are able to control Conway (and other characters) by clicking on the screen, either to guide them to a location or interact with other characters and objects. Players navigate between locations using maps and travel by driving, sailing, and flying. The game focuses on storytelling and atmosphere and does not feature puzzles or challenges common to other games in the genre. Players are able to choose characters' dialogue during in-game, text-based conversations. These choices do not impact the storyline or serve to direct a branching narrative; rather, they rather influence the poetic dialogue of characters later on, affect aspects of stories that are told to the player, or change which characters may be encountered.
