A big part of Road 96’s unveiling has been tied up in its soundtrack, with a new contributor revealed on social media every fortnight. Taken as a whole it’s an eclectic selection, stretching from French folk-pop to Swedish synthwave. “I went a bit crazy on that aspect,” Fanise admits. “And I know my producer, sometimes she hates me for that.” There’s a single artist assigned to each of the game’s cast. Survive, best known for its Stranger Things score, is lending its ominous synths to creepy taxi driver Jarod, while the mournful tale of young game dev Alex is accompanied by the “minimalist acoustic guitar” of Daniel Gadd, who Fanise discovered from his soundtrack to the Spanish movie The Girl From The Song.
