TIN EYE: Flight from the Dark
A downloadable gamebook
TIN EYE
Flight from the Dark
COMING SOON
You are Tin Eye.
In a devastating attack the Salt Witch Syndicate has destroyed the Agency where you are learning the skills of the Gumshoes. You are the sole survivor.
You swear revenge. But first you must reach the District of High Command to warn Professor Pendulum of the gathering evil. The servants of darkness relentlessly hunt you across Marlinspike City, and every turn of the page presents a new challenge.
Choose your Instincts and your Hardware carefully — for they can help you succeed in the most fantastic and terrifying journey of your life.
Who is TIN EYE?
TIN EYE is a hardboiled noir cyberpunk detective with Popeye's arms, chin, strength, and male pattern baldness. He has TinTin's great detective skills, and fashion sense. He lost his eye, and replaced it with a bionic replacement eye from a scrapped Cyberdyne T-800 cyborg. BONUS: It comes with that awesome red-and-black Heads-Up Display to help with investigations!
His pet botboar Snooty joins him on most adventures, as does a growing list of characters.
What is Flight From The Dark?
Flight From The Dark will be the first gamebook from Lofty Jungle Studios, a cyberpunk hardboiled noir take on the Lone Wolf book series by Dever and Chalk.
Pre-orders starting soon!
*wink*
Note
No AI was used in the making of this cover, this is my own terrible collage of TinTin, Popeye, and Terminator T-800 alongside some stock art from Freepik where I have a paid account. I made this in GIMP and Inkscape.
This is intended as a fun / novelty project post for April Fool's Day 2026.

I (probably) don't have time for that sort of thing unless you really ask very very very nicely and also write me a very very very real cheque (check, for the Americans) with a giant dollar amount on it. Haha.
I really love this character, but I also gotta do other stuff so I can buy food and whatever.
:P

The Herge estate is about to send a strike team to your house...
But for real though this is awesome. I never imagined Tintin with a chin and I don't think I ever want to again lol.
Lol. I think it looks great for a butt chin. Which usually looks like butts. Haha.
I'm hoping that the satire nature of this means it won't incur any copyright concerns. If it does, I'll draw it by hand and I think that's enough? 🤔
Twas a quick morning project that I had been thinking about for a while but never done anything about, so I can do better I just didn't hAve the time. 😅👍
Glad you enjoyed my weird brain stuff!
Lol I only jest, I just know the Herge estate is really particular about copywrite stuff (especially now since the original strips are public domain in the US). I highly doubt they'll take something like this down haha.
Honestly kudos to you for banging out a fun project in just a morning; it takes me a morning to get ready to start working on a project lmao.
