I watched 5 Centimeters Per Second a really long time ago. I still think about its bitter portrayal of love, loss and how some things in life just don't work out, no matter how much you want them to. Tracks is about going over your memories repeatedly, only to realise the only way out is to move forward. I also wanted to make a game where the levels can be portrayed as a continuous thread and thought it would be cool if all of the memories were connected through train tracks.
