How Schell Games Crafted Cog In The Machine Song For I Expect You To Die 3's Opening
Jared Mason, a developer at Schell Games, was brainstorming ideas for the villain in their upcoming VR game while shopping at the grocery store. The game, I Expect You To Die, is known for its escape room-like puzzles and James Bond-inspired opening credits. In the third installment, they wanted to create a more complex villain named Dr. Roxana Prism. Mason was searching for the perfect lyrics to express her views and was humming potential song lyrics to himself. The opening sequence of the game went through several iterations before being finalized. It features the song "Cog In The Machine" performed by Dynamedion and vocals by Haley Reinhart. The visual effects were created by Jeff Hoffman and Justin Calder. You can watch the finished sequence in the YouTube video or experience it in VR when the game is released on August 17 on Quest 2.
