The Long Road North

The Long Road North is another small and simple game that I would say is more of an art project created by the band Cult of Luna.

They released this game to accompany the song "Cold Burn" from their recent album.  They have an atmospheric metal sound - prone to long explorations in a Pink Floyd style around a theme, and the torn digital landscapes they propel you through perfectly fits the mood of the song.  There is a bit of a frantic pace as you are collect lights and escape from the tornados and crashing forces of whatever is behind you.

There are parts where it syncs perfectly to the music.  You are the music video.  Creative.  Worth the 10 minutes of gameplay, and I would love to see more bands do things like this!
