Kentucky Route Zero Magical Realist work?

Kentucky Route Zero incorporates the use of fantastical elements throughout the game to provide a sense of mystery for the player. There are subtle little things in the game that the player would notice and wonder why that’s there or what does this have to do with anything. Then there are huge things the player would see such as Julian the giant eagle that flies you to a forest. There were no questions asked about the eagle. It was just accepted that he was Ezra’s brother. Another example of fantastical elements in the game is when they are in the forest and you are Ezra. You keep running forwards and see different times or scenes of Conway and Shannon as they travel through the woods. It’s almost as if you are running along their timeline. Then, at the end of the woods, Shannon asks you where you’ve been and you say that you got lost in the woods. In the beginning when Conway goes in the basement of the gas station, he finds the three people playing a game at the table. They were there but they didn’t acknowledge him and when he finds their missing dice, they disappear.
