Description
Game Title: Glass Eye
General idea of my submission: In my head I'm envisioning a mash-up of two of my favourite games by the same developer, the themes of Gunpoint but with the aesthetics of Heat Signature both by Suspicious Developments; A cyberpunk detective game involving a detective you can augment with cybernetic enhancements to aid in your cases. Chunky pixels displaying dirty slums lit by shocking neon.
Rough ideas for songs -
Closets - The theme for investigating, rifling through drawers.
Input Delay - A classic for any detective noir - the drugged scene, double crossed by the love interest. Glitched audio showing the downside of your detective having of audio augmentations installed.
Cracked Vision - Seedy bar/ Drug den but in the FUTURE :O
Message from the artist:
Thanks for listening!
How does it fit the theme?
Particulary on Closets I incorporated a mix of both synths and world instruments for example there is a pipa playing throughout to reflect one of my favourite themes of cyberpunk genres being the complete amalgamation of cultures overlapping.

Love the detective vide with cyberpunk, always really well executed. I love the jazzy/bluesy feeling throughout, also really helps build the theme of the OST. Really awesome tracks!
Really getting the detective vibe here. Last track is my favorite. Great work!
Nice subdued sound to fit the detective theme. It works. Might just be my preference but you might consider adding some reverb to the drums on the third track.
Some groovy stuff here. I like the almost nursery rhymish feel of the melody in Input Delay.
I like the concept of a Cyberpunk-noir — I’d definitely want to see this as a game!
My favourite one here is Input Delay, there's some neat effects there!
Closets - Nice tune. I could indeed see this fitting well to a game like gunpoint (great game btw). I haven't played heat signature, so maybe I should. The soundtrack provides interest, but it's not too in your face (which helps with thinking and puzzling). Very nice.
Input Delay - Similar as the previous one actually. Not similar in the sense that they sound similar, but they evoke a very similar feeling. One small recommendation though, there's a bit of clicking going on with some of the looping. Noticeable around 57 seconds for instance. It might be nice to smooth those out a little, as they can distract a little bit from that feeling of sinking into the zone. Tiny crossfades or choosing the loop point slightly differently would probably fix this. It's also possible that it just happens to be particularly noticeable on the cans I'm listening on.
Cracked Vision - Ooh, nice chonky bass. I have a bit of an overweight cat, and if I were to represent him as a bass, it would be exactly this bass. Great tune again.
Very enjoyable this OST. Great job! My personal favourite is Closets.
I like that acoustic quitar in "closets", sounds really great. good job.
I love the minimalistic mood, interesting ideas!
Gunpoint is an awesome game as well!
love the idea and execution for Input Delay, very clever!
I love this idea, and the vibes the music gives off totally fit it. This has been one of my favorite submissions to listen to. I hope to see you in future jams!
I really love yours! Thanks so much!
It does feel like a detective story! As if you're searching for something. I like the menacing bass in Cracked Vision.
Thank you!
