The zine idea initiated here is now Ephemera, an enriched version of the original project that is open for pre-orders!

Ephemera’ began in 2018 as ‘The Zero Fieldnotes’ - a passion project that offered the opportunity for fans of ‘Kentucky Route Zero’ to showcase their work and share their insights relating to the indie PC game, developed by Cardboard Computer over the course of several years. Though it has since evolved and taken shape, having changed hands and accommodated various new submissions since, the zine has been a labor of love since the start, including written pieces, photographs, and illustrations by talented creators from all walks of life. Coursing through the zine, like the veins of the Zero itself, are the impressions and emotions left by a game that, now more than ever, paints an intimate portrait of rural decay, the shackles of debt, and the American experience.

The zine itself is printed in black-and-white and contains 50 pages of content submitted by 21 contributors from across the Echo.
