Today in "sentences I never thought I'd write", Ix Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck and Spec Ops: The Line creative director Cory Davis take started a game studio. Eyes Out is an LA-based studio, and they're currently working on their get-go game, a "unmarried-player immersive catholic horror game with strong environmental storytelling elements". Why not?

"We instantly started working on some prototypes I had in evolution at the fourth dimension and together we launched directly toward something unexpected."

According to the same printing release, the Optics Out squad "is made upwards of passionate globe-builders and storytellers who believe in the powerful synesthesia that emerges from music, narrative, and interactive experiences".

While we know they're making some sort of cosmic horror game, that's about all the detail we have for now. They say they'll have more info in "the months to come up", but for the time being you tin peruse their website (and employ for a job if yous fancy).
