A thoughtful and deeply personal title with stripped-down mechanics. The lack of dialogue or text allows you to create your own narrative through your time with four characters. Each short story will allow players to be swept away by the haunting lyrics of over twenty original, nostalgic songs.
Today I wanted to dive into the song we used to announce our launch date, very aptly named “The Longest Road on Earth”. It’s like when a music album is named after one of the songs!

[i][b]THE LONGEST ROAD ON EARTH[/b]
I don't know where to start
There's a lot of things
I'd like to talk to you about
Time's still flying by
It's a race where no one wins
At the finish line
I have written many songs
Some will stay with me forever and
others will just go
A new fear now lives with me
Wrinkles around eyes I love means
One day, they won't be here
Won't be here
I still don't know who I am
Or who I wanna be when I get older
Even tho I'm older now
I don't know what I'm here for
But I found out no one knows
Everyone just goes with the flow
Uhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm still learning how to love
I thought I got it all figured out
but turns out I was wrong
And my sister had a beautiful son
Everyday I think about the one that was mine but then
Never was
Never was
I still don't know who I am
Or who I want to be when I get older
Even though I'm older now
I don't know what I'm here for
But I found out no one knows
Everyone just goes with the flow
Uhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't know where to start
There's a lot of things
that I can talk to you about
I'm still scared of the dark
I'm really bad at making calls
without my family I'm lost
and I often doubt my words cause
I still don't know who I am[/i]
I thought it would be nice to write a song as if I was talking to an old friend or my past self and that is how this song began. The lyrics talk about things that have impacted my life in some way. To tighten that up the chorus encompasses how I’ve felt the past years navigating how to be an adult and discovering what that means to me, as opposed to the preconceived ideas I had about it.
My favorite part is where I talk about my nephew. I asked my sister to send me an audio of him saying: Hola titi! That’s how he calls me and I just love to have his little voice be part of this.
Then it was Edu’s idea to have the rest of the team singing with me to finish the song, which is very special because making all this music by myself can get a bit lonely. I loved sharing this experience with the rest of the team and I hope this song can mean something to you, so you will be part of it as well.
