Kentucky Route Zerodeveloper Cardboard Computer has taken to its Twitter account to address the existence of the forthcoming Act IV. The developer is adamant that the game has not been abandoned, even though no concrete release date has been announced.

So, for total clarity: KRZ Act 4 is not abandoned, canceled, a “scam,” a performance art piece(?), or anything else but a work-in-progress.
