The overall tone is reminiscent of the film Drive, which is no accident. Dennis Wedin of developer Dennaton Games tells me he loves the movie and that it was one of the inspirations for Hotline Miami. Apart from the music and visual style, Hotline Miami has one other element in common with Drive: horrific, unflinching violence.
