I am going to assume a majority of gamers haven't seen a Charles Burnett film, but The Longest Road on Earth reminded me greatly of Killer of Sheep. In a way it almost works better than in film format, having you carry out the menial tasks instead of watching them. However, what sets Burnett's films apart are his rich performances and human dialogue; which the game lacks.
I thought it was a harmless game which works to an extent but with a higher budget and more consistent pixel art, it could have been something really special.
Also I only had this on my watchlist because of that awesome cover art.
