Eyes Out is a brand new game studio from Spec Ops: The Line creative director Cory Davis and Nine Inch Nails guitairst Robin Finck.
It is an LA-based studio that – according to IGN – is working on "dark, atmospheric games with an emphasis on storytelling." This is evident by the studio's very first project which is already in the works. It'll be a cosmic horror jaunt with a focus on environmental storytelling. Finck stated that the game will explore "the theme of human consciousness as it relates to the seen and unseen properties of vibration and sound."

However, this untitled game is early in development so Eyes Out doesn't have much to share just yet, but news will be trickling out in the coming months. Finck added, "We're pushing the boundaries of the horror genre to create a thoughtful, lasting, terrifying gameplay experience.
Nine Inch Nails has worked with games in the past so it's no surprise that guitarist Robin Finck is finally diving into a studio headfirst. They worked on Quake's soundtrack – the ammo pickups even have the band's initials "NIN" on them. They then returned to help out id Software with Wolfenstein: Youngblood in 2019.
Cory Davis meanwhile is known for his work on Spec Ops: The Line, FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon: Extraction Point, and Here They Lie. Finck personally has worked on music for other games such as Observation and NOCT.
"When I was finishing up work on Here They Lie, Robin wandered into our studio and I felt a very strong connection to his open, creative view of existence, and the power of music," Davis said. "We instantly started working on some prototypes I had in development at the time and together we launched straight toward something unexpected.
"Robin's vibrant and boundless approach to the creative process drives our work far beyond my previous experience. It's such an exhilarating trip to venture into the darkness together."
