Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Cross Country Legacy is Falcon Jane’s Album-Inspired Video Game

— November 22, 2024 — Tech
Get ready to embark on a digital road trip like no other with 'Cross Country Legacy,' a retro-style video game inspired by Falcon Jane’s acclaimed album 'Legacy.' This innovative browser-based experience takes you deep into the introspective world of Ontario-based artist Sara May, fusing music and gaming into a captivating journey.

Developed by Elaine Fath (known for co-designing Michelle Zauner's 'Japanese BreakQuest') and Misha Velichansky, the game places players in the shoes of a lonely trucker navigating moonlit highways. Featuring choose-your-own-adventure gameplay, the interactive narrative unfolds against the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack of Legacy. Players can toggle through tracks on the in-game radio, creating a fully immersive experience where music and storytelling collide.

True to the artist's vision, Cross Country Legacy explores the eerie beauty of nocturnal road trips, from celestial starry skies to shadowy forests filled with mystery. The game masterfully captures the surreal nature of being on the road, where the line between reality and imagination blurs.
