After that, it ran a Kickstarter campaign to help fund development, including a whole new look. This is what became of Close Your, a game I first saw way back in 2014. It's made by GoodbyeWorld Games and published by Skybound Games. Yeah, I'm in.īefore Your Eyes is out now on Steam and the Epic Games Store, priced at £8/€9/$10. The writing is more natural and funny than I'd expected, and the Ferryman framing story has some intriguing sinister vibes. I'm still in childhood on my playthrough, presumably with a great many years still to come, but I'm keen to see where it goes. The blinking does feel a little bit magic. With this innovative technique you will fully immerse yourself in a world of memories, both joyous and heartbreaking, as your whole life flashes before your eyes. I mean, I would be interested to see another game try that too. Before Your Eyes Embark on an emotional first-person narrative adventure where you control the storyand affect its outcomeswith your real-life blinks. I don't know how long I could go trying to drink everything in without blinking, unless the game was only a few minutes long. I had expected lots of fast cuts because of that implication, but it often takes its time.

Often you're free to blink, or need to blink over specific things (selected by mouse) to interact. From what I've seen, scenes will play out a fair bit before you reaching a point where blinking will move you on. While the game suggests every blink will advance time, nah, that's only at specific points. And to control all this, you're using your eyes as a left-click to select things or cut ahead to the next scene. This means you, player dear, are watching vignettes skipping across the days and years of a life, with a few decisions along the way. You're aboard the boat to the afterlife, sans mouth, telling your life story to the Ferryman (a suspiciously dishevelled dogman) by reliving memories. Having played a bit of it myself, I'd describe it as 'Edith Finch meets 30 Flights Of Living with blinking' if I were required to briefly introduce the concept in a blog post, which I was so I did. That's how it goes in Before Your Eyes, a new vignette 'em up released today.
Here's a slightly magical idea for a story game: every time you blink in real life, your webcam notices and the game skips you forward to the next scene.
