Fuzz:

The choice always struck me as an interesting game mechanic. In essence the game gives you two impossibly difficult options to choose from. I wanted to create a piece which constantly builds tension as a player is supposed to make up their mind about what their choice is going to be. I didnt want to create a clear resolution because the choice is a choice, it is up to the player what happens. This piece is just impossibly-tough-decision-making-music. I think it fits.

Dawn Davis:

I want to say "The Choice is one of my favourite songs on the Sburb OST" but that would be a lie just because I love absolutely everything on the Sburb OST. Either way I was really excited when I got to do the art for this song. It's so slow, smooth, beautiful and dramatic, and I wanted a piece that could convey that. I wanted it to be dark, hopefully have Echidna in a silhouette somehow with glowing eyes.

I experimented with a side-view of her before we got the outline of what you see here. Then we tried to go with a bright background, but it wasn't working out, which I'm still pretty sorry for. The bright BG could have worked in a pair of scales, which I was excited to use because of all of the music puns we could make. But when I got this BG I knew we had a winner.

The entire time I was drawing it I would occasionally say to myself, in hushed tones, quietly.... pchoooooooo. Now I do it every time I look at the thing.
