An Industrial Shift

In December, Blumhouse Games published Sleep Awake, a psychedelic first-person horror game that posits a world where those who live in the last remaining city on Earth are mysteriously vanishing as they sleep. An imaginative experience that depicts a population in panic, Sleep Awake is the debut title from Eyes Out, a studio co-founded by Spec Ops: The Line and Condemned 2: Bloodshot designer Cory Davis and Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck.

As a Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as part of Nine Inch Nails, Finck has charted a highly successful path through the music industry, but the last decade spent in the games space has been instructive for him. We sat down with the acclaimed musician to learn more about his journey into the games industry.
