Spec Ops: The Line director and Nine Inch Nails guitarist launch game studio

Game director Cory Davis and Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck have launched a new game studio. The new studio is called Eyes Out and is working on an unannounced single player horror game.

The founding of Eyes Out has been announced with a trailer. You can read who are part of the team on the website of the new studio. In addition to founders Davis and Fink, the team consists of 15 game developers.

The Eyes Out team members previously worked on major titles such as Gears of War, The Evil Within and FEAR. That should mean that there is enough experience with horror games to develop a new horror title. The studio calls itself an ‘arthouse’ game studio. They want to focus on games with a strong story, supported by music.

When released in 2012, Spec Ops: The Line received critical acclaim for its strong story that involved Davis as a director and designer. After working at Yager Development, he gained experience developing horror games at Monolith Productions, which is responsible for FEAR. He was also involved in VR horror game Here They Lie.
