So he will force you deeper into the dark recesses of your most repressed memories, ultimately revealing a heartbreaking truth.īy combining its innovative blink interaction mechanic with a charming world and a fully voice-acted story, Before Your Eyes is a deeply emotional and relatable journey-one about the impossible expectations we place on ourselves and the regrets we carry with us.Īn earlier version of the game, titled Close Your, received the Game Developers Choice award at Indiecade and the Student Award at the Independent Game Awards (IGF), before receiving funding through a successful Kickstarter campaign.The story ends up being driven more by the secondary characters, which although are good, don’t get room to develop far enough to be multi-faceted figures that can hold up a narrative on their own. But soon the Ferryman will suspect you aren't showing him everything he needs to see. You will learn to control the flow of the narrative with your actual eyes–blinking through precious memories of family, first love, and the rise of an artistic career.
