April 2025
Some reviews call this game pretentious, others a singular work of art, and truthfully, I can see where both sides are coming from. However, as someone who recently left home and moved to the other side of the world, this game moved me in ways that I can't articulate very well. All I'll say is that this game captures the feeling of going home to the place you grew up and sitting outside on your old porch as the crickets chirp away in the warmth of a summer night. I love this game and I wish people wouldn't review it negatively, because I think its earnest moments far outweigh its pretentious ones. A world with more games like this would be a better one, and I just want to say thank you to the developers who tried to do something so different here, and, for the most part, absolutely succeeded.

Not to sound too pretentious, but I honestly never experienced a video game with this much depth, both when it comes to understanding the human condition, and as a critique of the state of our contemporary world. I guess Disco Elysium comes close, maybe. This game actually makes me see the world differently the same way depressing Russian literature did, and describes the environment of its creation the same way it did, too. I suggest recommending this game to snobbish intellectuals to make them see the value of our favorite medium.

To live is to journey through constant loss. What we once held dear dissolves, leaving only echoes behind. Yet it is these echoes that guide our steps along Route Zero. 살아간다는 것은, 계속해서 무언가를 내려놓는 것. 그렇게 잃어가면서도, 다시 또 한 걸음 내딛는 것.

I was sat up at 2 in the morning in the dormatory common room playing this game, feeling as if i was dreaming with my eyes open. I can't say I "understand" the game, but man i was FEEEEEELING it. It isn't perfect, but I love it and think about it really often still. 9/10!
