Tracks

I watched 5 Centimeters Per Second a really long time ago. I still think about its bitter portrayal of love, loss and how some things in life just don't work out, no matter how much you want them to. Tracks is about going over your memories repeatedly, only to realise the only way out  is to move forward. I also wanted to make a game where the levels can be portrayed as a continuous thread and thought it would be cool if all of the memories were connected through train tracks.

I made a playlist to keep me company while making the game and I've written it out below! I think the game will hit harder if you have any one of these songs playing. "One more time, One more chance" is the biggest inspiration and there's even a line from the song in the game.

• One more time, One more chance - Masayoshi Yamazaki
• Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto
• a little pain - OLIVIA inspi' REIRA (TRAPNEST)
• Losing You - Solange
• とけない魔法 - BBHF
• ドライフラワー - Yuuri
• 君に夢中- Hikaru Utada
• 君がくれた夏 - Leo Ieiri
• Wedding Dress - TAEYANG

The game is imperfect, although I tried my best to go over the levels to cement off any areas I might not intend you to wander into. I apologise if you get stuck in any of the areas, let me know and I can try to fix it.
