Pixel Snobs

After over a year of Pixel Snobs, we dive into the game that inspired Nigel to start the podcast: Kentucky Route Zero, the story of a truck driver named Conway and the strange people he meets as he tries to cross the mysterious Route Zero in Kentucky to make a final delivery for the antique company for which he works.
