Slipstream
It's 199X, you're in the driver seat. As you
turn the key and hear the engine starting, a cassette plays on the stereo. The clear blue sky invites
you to escape, to explore a world of exotic landscapes and thrilling races. Step on the gas, choose your
path, drive across cities, mountains, deserts, forests, beaches — places from all over the world and
beyond.
Slipstream is a racing game influenced and inspired by the OutRun series, SEGA
games in general, Initial D, Vaporwave & Synthwave aesthetics and the spirit of 90s arcades. It uses a
real pseudo3D engine to provide an
authentic retro experience in a modern shell. After being funded via kickstarter in 2016 and delayed
more times than the developer would like to admit, it was released independently for PC in 2018.
A new version of the game, rewritten from scratch, with new mechanics and improved AI, was released in late 2021 for PC, and published by BlitWorks in 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One, Series S and Series X.

"It sounds like it's something you've heard in a dream, like you're not listening to it, but imagining. I guess all music is supposed to sound like that. Also I'm on weed and flu pills so I don't really know" - YouTube Comment
