The Left Eye Episode 3 Teaser YouTube video by Haunted Trumpet

Is it still #screenshotsaturday if it's a trailer with screenshots in it? 🤔 Either way, our teaser for ep 3 of #thelefteye is here!

(tw for blood, guns and mild suggestive moment)

(And let the record show: it does loop.)

@kymberleyc.bsky.social is not only a great voice actor, but has so far written four jazz tracks for The Left Eye!

In a glimpse into her creative process, you see all the passion and experience for storytelling that she brings to her music!

Valentine’s Day post from Haunted Trumpet, just in case we haven’t been mask off enough about our desire for Jackie to step on us.

But am I not a good monster? Don’t I speak English beautifully? Aren’t I so pleasant and calm? Don’t I tell good stories, just the same as the rest of you?

Wrote a thing for the Neruromyths Zine, supported by the Royal Society of Literature! My entry is The Eel, a mermaid/sea monster story that’s sat in my thoughts for 10+ years. It’s close to my heart, and to my understanding of who I am.

Grab a copy of the zine at cephalopodical.itch.io/neuromyths

Obsessed with this art of our #knifewife

Me trying to explain poker

This was very very fun to write, but an absolute nightmare to try and explain using our usual branching dialogue scripts, there were just too many pieces in the air! Getting it mapped out in twine helped massively!

Getting handsy in our latest #screenshotsaturday CG x

They need to glitch into existence and drop on you from the sky at the worst possible moment for the real yakuza 5 experience

Evidence of my ongoing yakuza problem that I looked at this beautiful project and was instantly like: JUST LIKE HUNTING BEARS IN THE SNOW COVERED MOUNTAINS IN YAKUZA 5!!!

(I suspect bug game will be much cozier and involve less fighting for your life)

Here’s looking at u kid 👁️👄👁️

New year update to the left eye!!! Really excited by the side story feature that our dev added, which should let us add more texture and tales to the left eye that don’t necessarily fit into our main episodic format!

What’s under there is more Jackie!!! How much more dramatic do you want? 🔥

Obsessed with this vulnerable #hangover art of the left eye cast. From the artist behind all our brilliant #cg and #conceptart!

(Also obsessed with the fact that they’re finally posting on Bluesky u should go follow them now now now)

A screenshot from The Left Eye visual novel, showing sprites of Jackie - a tall white woman with long dark hair, and an eyepatch, wearing a white vest - and Emile - a short man with slightly curly hair, wearing a black suit. She has her arms folded, and looking incredulous. He is smiling. Pasted over them are the following three text posts: plasmalogical: self care is actually getting in fights with randoms in dark alleys. ixq: No self care is stuff like taking a bubble bath or putting on a lot of makeup if you like it or taking a nice warm nap and stuff like that plasmalogical: self care is the burning heat when rage washes over you. self care is when you feel the bones crack under your powerful fists. self care is the fear in your enemies eyes.

in a rare case of me doing two bsky posts in one day... I just handed off the episode 3 script of #TheLeftEye to our dev at @hauntedtrumpet.bsky.social !

Then I celebrated by posting text post memes on tumblr and I am not sorry.

THE OG 🔥

My favourite in-house meme at @hauntedtrumpet.bsky.social is to redraw the original #devilman manga panels with characters from The Left Eye.

(Although I stand by the fact that it looks better when @sanorganes.bsky.social does it)

A monochrome screenshot of two men sitting on the balcony of the statue of liberty's torch. A text box covers the lower portion of the image, which identifies the speaker as Alex, the man sitting on the left. The text reads: "...Truth is, I like you. And I need your help."

First #screenshotsaturday of 2026! 🎉
Alex has a proposition for Emile in episode two of The Left Eye...

Who wouldn’t wish for a 1920s con artist caper across New York City’s pansy scene?

A black and white illustration of a woman, cut so that only her eyes and nose are visible. She has thick, dark hair, and a white bandage over her left eye. She is glaring out of the frame, slightly above the viewer, nostrils flared with rage, menace in her one remaining eye.

So psyched by our progress on episode 3 of #TheLeftEye since launching into early access! The first draft script is finished, new character sprites are being drawn, and new CGs and cut- ins are well underway!

And yes, we’re doubling down on our scary knife-wife content x
