"Third Eye Crime" Out On Steam
Film-noir stealth puzzler Third Eye Crime is out on Steam today. Created by ex-Bungie developers Moonshot Games, the game puts the player in the shoes of Rothko, a smooth-talking criminal who can telepathically predict where enemies will move to attempt to thwart his heists.
Fastestmanintheworld wrote and produced the jazz underscore, which features trumpeter Curt Ramm (Springsteen/E Street Band) and drummer Dominique Messier (Celine Dion, Cirque du Soleil). The score also leans heavily on solo piano, which provides the underpinning for the many motion-comic panels in the game.
Reviews:
“It has a terrific sense of style, with slick motion comic panels that move the story forward, simple but beautiful noir visuals, and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack.”
The Verge
“The beautiful art, a sultry musical score plucked from a jazz orchestra that could have been conducted by Nelson Riddle, and the design package is vintage, 1940s noir at its finest.”
The Washington Post
“It's the can't miss pick of the week”
