Death Of The Hired Man is the fifth and final Kentucky Route Zero interlude, released on January 28, 2020 alongside Act V and the game's TV Edition. Its title comes from the poem "The Death of the Hired Man" by Robert Frost.

The title is also the name of a play directed by James B. Carrington, an adaptation of the Frost poem, for which he seeks a venue throughout the course of the main game.

Development & background

The events of the interlude Death of the Hired Man mirror that of Frost's poem of the same name, even borrowing some lines directly from the poem. Despite Carrington's performance of his own Death of the Hired Man having no audience or actors, he has found himself within a version of the story nonetheless.
