Nine Inch Nails touring guitarist Robin Finck and veteran video game director Cory Davis have announced a new arthouse game development studio called Eyes Out. The new company is a “fusion of visionary exploration and musical collaboration” between the two artists. Their first game, “a single-player immersive cosmic horror game with strong environmental storytelling elements,” is currently in development.

Finck and Davis each have experience scoring video games, with the guitarist previously contributing to the sci-fi adventure puzzle game Observation and Davis composing the music for his own game Here They Lie, a psychological horror title released in 2016. Below, check out a trailer for the new game studio.

Finck, who has also performed with Guns N’ Roses, rejoined the Nine Inch Nails lineup as a constant touring member in 2013. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of the band last year. Prior to co-founding Eyes Out, Davis was creative director and designer on the provocative 2012 title Spec Ops: The Line.
