Moonshot Games Announces Third Eye Crime – Playable at PAX East

Moonshot Games, an indie development studio made up of 3 former Bungie employees, has partnered with indie game publisher Gameblyr in order to bring Third Eye Crime to PAX East 2014 this week as a playable demo, and eventually to the world as their first completed title.

The game promises to be a stealth puzzle game with a visual story based on Noir colors and styles. The game will be scored with a jazz soundtrack, and each piece of story will be told using comic strip elements and stylistic illustrations. The main character, Rothko, is a criminal with the ability to telepathically see where his enemies will move on a map. With this ability, he is not only able to avoid many of his enemies, but also misdirect them and send them to other parts of the map as he goes off to finish the heist and escape unharmed.

Booth #499, the “MassDiGI Made in MA: The State of Play” booth, will have the Third Eye Crime demo available.

Moonshot Games’ first attempt at a game, Fallen Frontier , turned out to be an overly ambitious project for the 3-staff team that hit a few publishing snags. The new partnership with Gameblyr, known for publishing the hit indie game Pathogen , is the first step in a potentially bright future for Third Eye Crime .
