A guide to the important / optional locations in Kentucky Route Zero Acts I, II, & III.
Guide to Secret Places and Hidden Memories
This guide has spoilers for the first three parts of the game. You should probably finish those before you look at this.
There are many small things to find in the game areas, and it was fun to explore without knowing exactly where to go. Knowing the locations beforehand does take away some of that feeling.
However, if you had a hard time finding specific places, this guide could help you find them.

No need to give any directions.
Railroad Track
You won’t see the sign unless you’ve stopped before the roads that lead to it.
It’s in the middle of the lake probably because it’s the train station that got flooded and repurposed, as mentioned in Act IV.



Museum (now you can clean up the glass you’ve broken)

Petting Zoo

Tavern (The Lower Depths)

The Zero
Just follow the instructions in the game. The radio is at the bottom left corner, so just change the frequency until there’s less static. The dialogue will tell you if it fits the criteria (something akin to familiar but weird)

On the Zero
If you got lost, just go to sleep (click the “zzz” at the bottom left corner of your screen) and you would be directed to the next plot-related location.
