	+	'''Act V''' of {{KRZ}} was released on January 28, 2020. It is the final act.

	+	Developer [[Jake Elliott]] has stated that "The story's a tragedy; it's a tragic ending. Hopefully it won't be too bleak, but it's in that tradition."<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/kentucky-route-zero-episode-2-descends-in-april-leading-up-to-tragic-finale-in-january/ PC Gamer: Kentucky Route Zero Episode 2 descends in April, leading up to "tragic" finale in January]</ref>
	+
	+	== Synopsis ==
	+
	+	{{expand}}
	+	{{En-WP attribution notice}}
	+	The final act begins after [[Shannon]] and the group have hauled the contents of [[Conway]]'s truck to the top of the [[Silo of Late Reflections]], which turns out to be a well at the center of an effigy mound in a small [[town]], in which is located [[5 Dogwood Drive]]. The house at the address stands new and pristine (albeit without two walls), though the remaining town has been washed away by a flash flood that occurred the night prior during the cast's underground travels on the {{ZeroLink}} and the [[Echo River]]. The travelers meet and converse with the residents of the town, and learn about its history and landmarks, including a graveyard, a library, a waffle restaurant, a hangar and airstrip, and a [[WEVP-TV\|public-access television station]]. Both the travelers and the residents weigh whether they will try to stay and rebuild the community, or leave in hopes of better lives. One of the residents, [[Ron]], digs a grave to bury "The Neighbors," two horses that were fixtures of town life and who died in the flood. An impromptu ceremony is held in honor of the horses; town resident [[Nikki]] reads a poem, and [[Emily]] sings a song, "[[I'm Going That Way]]." The [[5 Dogwood Drive#Appearance\|final view]] is of Shannon and the group having moved the items from Conway's truck into 5 Dogwood Drive, completing his delivery, and gathering in the house.
