#the meta elements the critiques of academia THE ENTERTAINMENT

So sad that Kentucky route zero never took off on tumblr because it’s so hard to fandomfy such a work because I have so many words of analysis on this game I love it so much

#(I’ve never played it all the way through) #but it’s soooo good though #the way it lays out it’s themes the way that it intersects with almost every aspects of the humanities #like the construction of the zero as non Euclidean shapes????? #and the use of the idea of the simulacra along the zero and blurring the space between reality and fiction even within the fiction??? #the meta elements the critiques of academia THE ENTERTAINMENT #all of the references as well I don’t think I will ever get every single reference the game makes #I’m trying to write and comprehensive essay on it and I’ve got 1600 words already on a just a single part #it’s depression and it’s hopeful and even the secret epilogue!!!!!! #the death of the hired man being ambiguous in the end humanity wins in the face of tragedy!!!! #I even wrote about how the games ends on the imagery of a pair of horses called the neighbours in a grave #even in death you find community and companionship #the delivery being completed for Conway???? #like also if you view it through the lens of Conway the fame is a tragedy but the game goes on after Conway leaves #people go on despite everything!!!!! #I can’t this game is so good go play it #kentucky route zero #kr0
