Nine Inch Nails Guitarist Co-Wrote the Soundtrack for This New Horror Game

Yet another member of rock band Nine Inch Nails is working on a video game. Publisher Devolver Digital on Monday announced that guitarist Robin Finck, together with musician Worldclock, created the soundtrack for indie horror game Noct.

You can hear one of the game's 12 tracks in the gameplay video below. Alternatively, you can listen to the song, "ACAS," on Devolver's Soundcloud page. Finck is now the second member of Nine Inch Nails to write music for a game, as frontman Trent Reznor created the title track for 2012's Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Reznor also wrote music for early id Software games and even did voicework for them.

A 2D top-down multiplayer survival horror game, Noct launches for PC, Mac, and Linux on October 22. It casts you as a survivor of an "apocalyptic purge" and aims to blend arcade-style combat with RPG elements.

Finck said his goal for the Noct soundtrack was to bring a "spirited sense of melody and hope to an utterly devastated terrain, one enshrouded in despair and haunted by....creepy f**king monsters."

Working on the soundtrack has been a "hair-raising experience," he added.

Devolver also pointed out today that Noct will be playable at the first-ever TwitchCon this weekend in San Francisco ahead of its public release. The game itself was developed by C3SK, a Canadian studio that raised funds for the title on Kickstarter.

Finck joined Nine Inch Nails in 1994 and also toured with Guns 'N Roses after Slash quit for a period of time.
