Gun Interactive has just shared more details of its upcoming 2023 game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with the reveal of its main theme music. The main theme for the game is titled “The Massacre” and is written by BAFTA-nominated composer Ross Tregenza
It also features a performance from Gun Interactive CEO, game design, audio, and art director Wes Keltner on his Apprehension Engine, the piece is an unsettling sneak peek into the soundscape of the game, while still evoking the original score of the classic 1974 film.
You can listen to the game’s main theme music in the video below:
In a video that was uploaded on the game’s official Twitter page, Ross Tregenza talked about how the game’s theme was “made with pig screams, chainsaws, and scraped metal”, among other equipment like the Soma Lyra drone machine, while also assuring fans that there is a lot more to come.
On the other hand, Keltner’s performance made use of the Apprehension Engine, which is the custom-made musical instrument played by the likes of Mark Korven and Trent Reznor, and which was once described by Brian Eno as “the most terrifying musical instrument of all time.”
But that is not all that the developer has shared, as it has also revealed a series of 70’s-style character trading cards that detail the biographical info and in-game attributes of each of the five main Victims in the game. This includes Leland McKinney, and Ana Flores, the protagonist and sister to the missing Maria.
The throwback cards provide a base for the game’s story while also adding a visual flourish that evokes the era of baseball cards on bicycle spokes. If you head over to the Community Hub of the game, you can find the Victims’ unique abilities and attributes.
