== Gameplay ==

''Kentucky Route Zero'' is a point-and-click game ~~which contains text-based dialogue instead of vocal audio~~. There are no traditional puzzles or challenges; instead, the game focuses on storytelling and atmosphere. ~~The player controls~~ Conway (and other characters) by clicking on the screen, either to guide him to ~~another~~ location, or interact with other characters and objects. ~~The player~~ also ~~has the choice~~ to choose characters' dialogue during in-game conversations. These choices do not ~~affect~~ the storyline as in a branching narrative, but rather the poetic dialogue of characters later on.
