Anyone played Kentucky Route Zero yet? Impressions?

http://kentuckyroutezero.com/

It just became available on Steam after going through the Greenlight process...I'm thinking of plunking down for it based on the gameplay vids I've seen, but I'd be interested in some other opinions too.

I read blurbs about it, and had to think of Lettuce (underground civil war battleship populated by cats? Mew!).

I really liked it.  First act is creepy as shit.

I may get it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I may no longer have the patience for point-and-click adventure games.

The Walking Dead game is great, but it's relentlessly negative.  Please note: I stopped about halfway through Chapter 2.  Couldn't take the (very well-crafted) bullshit.

Hmm. If you haven't tried these, you might like them.

The Silver Lining is a fan made sequel to the Kings' Quest series. If you liked Kings Quest, you'll probably enjoy it. I didn't finish it, but I enjoyed playing it. It's FREE.

Jack Keane is 10 dollars on Steam. I think it aims to be a successor in some ways to Monkey Island. Only instead of a pirate theme, it has a British Empire/India theme. However, it is silly like MI so not really good if you're one of those who likes an air of seriousness in your adventure. It is absolutely a silly game from its characters to its plot, but I had fun with it.

The adventure genre really has dried up, and it makes every failed attempt to make a new one that much sadder.
