Ever heard of "Polybius?" It's a surreal game that's available now on the PlayStation 4. It's also the setting for the latest Nine Inch Nails video.

The latest music video from long-running, Trent Reznor-led group Nine Inch Nails is out, and it's set within an obscure video game.

The woman above is the star of the music video for "Less Than," staring endlessly into an old standard-definition television while playing a modern, retro-style game named "Polybius." The game, a modern take on retro games like "Tempest," is available currently on the PlayStation 4.

While the game intentionally looks retro, it's twisted into something more specific for this intense music video.

Hilariously, the real version of "Polybius" is intended for play in the PlayStation VR headset that works with the PlayStation 4. While the game is retro in style, the way you play it is as futuristic as it gets.
