Death Road to Canada is an indie road trip roguelike from Rocketcat Games, first released in 2016, where players drive across a zombie filled Canada looting supplies and fighting with improvised melee weapons. Heavy blunt weapons are a core part of its combat, and their swing sound became familiar to players from repeated close quarters fights. Fans later isolated the whoosh as a standalone effect, sharing it for game videos, parody fights and soundboards where a slow, powerful swing needs to be heard without a specific hit sound attached.
