The sound track makes the game in my opinion. The game is good, but the soundtrack with it, and the way it’s used sends chills down ones spine, dramatically increasing the intensity and quality of the game as a whole.
there's something to this story about treating people like machines. the intercom recordings often describe things in such a way that it prioritizes function over experience. "do not contact your family it will distract you" and "contact a health expert if you feel your WORK quality is suffering" to paraphrase a couple. Your car seems to be self driving in this game, but is also not entirely robotic. it's subject to hallucinations and seems to be one of many self driving cars to go through this exact gauntlet countless times over many years, if the intercom's estimate of receiving no human contact in 99999 days is to be believed. there's also no indication that humans have had any presence in general during this time, leading me to the theory that your car is what humans have transformed into. Humans were treated like machines until they literally transformed into them, and even though they retain the vital traits of humanity such as experience and self preservation, they're all put through this gauntlet ending in death, all to upload your genetic algorithm to some computer somewhere. Humans treated like machines become machines and those machines become a single cog in a larger machine, and those cogs become fuel to burn
Only now, when I can just watch and don't have to focus on driving I came to appreciate even more how amazing the design of the game is, the soundtrack is a perfect fit and the level design storytelling is great
yeah. it hit me rather hard with how soft the horror in the game used to be. on top of that, it hits something deep in me for some reason with how claustrophobic it is and how the blood just keeps building up. sad that I'm pretty much unable to experience it myself due to that, but I can appreciate the concept at least.
I have to say, your run through the Overload section specifically is incredible to watch. The sound quality in this video is better than any other Distance videos that I have found and on top of that, the way you jump and land perfectly in sync with the music, like at 38:44, is perfect. 👍👌⚡️
I love this game. Every side of it is perfect - gameplay, visual, atmosphere, soundtrack (!). If you somehow didn't play it, do it now. P.S. Listen "Ghost". This is one of the best tracks i ever heard.
HiddelMOB no, it wasn’t based on the game but it loosely related to the story. It was the “12 miles” or “30 mile” game, basically dude takes a street on his pizza route he was told didn’t exist, and ends up going through a bunch of different “biomes” consisting of malevolent spirits, gigantic squids, and a volcanic wasteland. Was a really fye read/listen, but SomeOrdinaryGamer took it down or privated it
@@apexshinbi638 really late, but if you still have the link (from a bookmark or something), the internet archive could still have it. i'd like to see it.
It's edited. In non-edited runs, the music from the last stage would continue into the next without a cut in audio. Here, the music abrubtly cuts as the next stage is started.
As others have commented, it is edited, I recorded each track separately and put them together, removing load times. There were many failed 'clean run' attempts, especially in the harder tracks. This is basically a 'best of fastest times' compilation. Probably should have noted that in the description, but I guess few people would really care as long as the video's good.
Love this game but I'm totally stuck at a point where the road suddenly cuts off and you have to control your car in the air to somehow land in another road. It's like gravity pulls me away from the next road and I just fall to my death every time.
This is game is amazing I love the graphics but there’s something just unnerving about it that I like I ain’t sure if it’s the way the city is designed or what
ua-cam.com/video/xqtx8k2DxSs/v-deo.html this is what happens when you run out of time in distance, its basically like a bad ending but you get to restart from the beginning of the level you're on
In the far future, humanity has built a giant array of Satelites (The Array) in orbit around Earth. The planet itself may be polluted, ravaged by war, or something of the sort ("Remember Her, learn from Her, go beyond Her" as well as "Incident 215" indicate as much). Humanity looked to the stars, and started developing long-range teleportation aboard The Array (the Distance Project) in hopes of exploring or escaping to the cosmos. But one day, something malicious came back through the teleporter instead... The Virus wrought havoc on The Array, most likely killing every human aboard and taking over much of it. But somewhere, an automated system either starts intentionally developing a method to fight the Virus, or it is running automated tests that just happen to eventually result in the Virus being stopped. Either way, after countless failed attempts, car #650.782 finally makes it through, mere seconds before the Virus successfully teleports. Said car is teleported to Earth, and is disassembled to extract the data it has gathered on the way. That's one of the more obvious theories anyway. The official Discord Server has a Lore channel with several other interpretations. The whole game could be a simulation to create the perfect driving AI and none of what we see is real in-universe; the car may be secretly infected and the whole thing is a trick by the Virus to get to Earth; maybe the Virus has become part of the plan for the Distance Project, since normal organic matter can't be teleported, and the car is a hybrid of organic and mechanical matter (would explain how it regenerates damage?) designed to test how it handles teleportation... And then theres also the other campaigns and the theories on how they fit into all this, if at all...
@@game_in_black5388 there is the official Discord server, not too sure if there are tournaments or anything like that, but it would be the place to find them
this is just the main campaign, there are three additional mini campaigns and over 150 tracks in sprint, challenge and stunt combined, also there are 4000+ community created tracks in the steam workshop, at least %20 of them being high quality
Most likely the designated number of your car, and as such you're most likely the 650.782nd attempt by the Array to stop the virus. And maybe the first to actually succeed. That's all the community has been able to come up with for now; the numbers also result in a pretty sweet purple when used as a hex value for color calculation.
HiddelMOB A hex value? Helluva way to get a secret cheat code Also, why did they dismantle us in the end? Is it because the virus has compromised the car with its glitchy-visions?
@@dannyred9094 Possibly. There are several theories. The car may be infected and thus dismanteled to protect Earth. Maybe humanity has actually been making the best of a bad accident and is using the virus for testing in the Distance Project. Maybe the entire game is a simulation to create the perfect car AI (so more of a meta story). Or maybe the car is just part of an automated testing routine and the disassembly would have happened no matter what once the car made it back, to extract test data. And maybe what some interpret as destoying the Archaic (the big screeching manifestation of the virus) was actually the car getting infected, and since the facility on Earth is just following a routine, unaware of the threat, the whole planet is now doomed. Maybe the virus is what sent the car out in the first place? The tunnel sequence could support this somewhat; the woman whispering "wake up" is the original programming/AI of the Array or the car, trying in vain to save Earth, but the deep male voice that tells us to "Devour her, extinguish her" (her being Earth) is the virus taking back control. Also the car already being infected or related to the virus could explain how it regenerates damage like it does. That would be a bit of a downer ending, but I like that last theory a lot actually. :P
There's 3 campaigns in the game with 3 different unrelated stories. The first one is thought to be a simulation where you're the car tasked to fight a nanomachine corrupting the various sectors. Hence as you get close to finishing the game you see more and more corrupted tracks. Its thought to be a simulation because at the end of the game there's multiple replicas of your car. Almost as if this has been run many times. The second campaign is set in the nitronic rush levels. Its set in the future when a computer virus takes over the system and the system tries to load a backup but that is also corrupted. Hence at the end of the campaign it basically resets itself thus you see a no operating system found message. In the 3rd campaign you find yourself in a city and you have to deliver a package. Not too sure about its story.
way simpler? oh boy wait till you see how many advanced unintended mechanics are in this game like gripflight, thrusterboosting, wheelieboosting and thruster reset

The fact that no one payed attention to this is insane. You should totally receive a gold medal for this!
That's crazy, I think it would be so much that I wanted to understand the story better
would explain why if you change this video to 4:3 resolution the front grille of the car is compressed to look vaguely like a skull...
Only now, when I can just watch and don't have to focus on driving I came to appreciate even more how amazing the design of the game is, the soundtrack is a perfect fit and the level design storytelling is great
I wonder why isn't this game already popular.... Maybe it's because the game is less than 1 year old.
This is art. And the story....
The game has been out for much longer, I played the beta 4 years ago
@Setzer K Yeah, imagine if they put it where the audience is...
@Setzer K I was just saying a game like this appeals more to console fans.
I have no idea why no one knows about it.
Maybe because a lot of it is just darkness. Didn't appeal to me much.
as someone who loves the rush of intense racing games, grew up on arcade racers, etc. i want this
You are a saint for uploading this
this game is amazing. the art was just beautiful. I dont understand the story, especially the ending but my god. Amazing game
Theres a lore channel in the official Discord you could check out, if you're interested. Some inreresting theories on there ;)

I came to see few seconds what this game looks like.. I ended up watching 48 minutes 55 seconds.
Can't believe the game I donated to in its kickstarter phase is still going so strong. It recently got a new update, simply unbelievable
PS5 now!

What actually happens when the timer sets to 0? Nobody made a video about it.
Who knows, unless you actively try to waste enough time to let it count down you'll likely reach the end before it does.
