Before Your Eyes 12+

This is a very fun game with a relaxing yet enticing gameplay and story. I played it all in one sitting which I’d say took about an hour and you have the time I’d recommend playing it like that. At times the game play was a bit difficult such as the parts where you have to keep yours eyes open for a long time was hard for me and the parts where you had to keep them closed for a long time the gaming mechanic seemed flawed and wouldn’t work at times but besides that I really enjoyed so I was willing to look past it. As someone who loves story it was hard for to except I was going to miss a lot of the story because I couldn’t keep my eyes open long enough but once I accepted that fact and just enjoyed it for what it was then it was honestly a very enjoyable experience that I wouldn’t of had other wise specifically because of that game play and I’m guessing that is exactly why they did because it plays so well into the deeper meaning behind the game. Highly recommend, sit down like you’re gonna read a book or watch a show but instead play this from start to finish!

First, I never and I mean NEVER write reviews for anything. But this.. this game is so beautiful. The music is beautiful the art is beautiful and the way the characters speak is so calming.

I love everything about it. I love it at the end where in the beginning the parents are wondering why the child is smiling and they think he’s happy or he must be somewhere he likes, and it goes with what happens at the end. I love it when his mom talks and you blink between him and the cat guy(sorry I don’t remember his name) it goes with whatever the other person was saying before you blinked. Now I didn’t read the summary; I just saw a clip on tiktok of where him and chole sneak out and chole is telling him about how much she likes to spend time with him.

Did he die when he was young? Is everything above him being sick his story? These questions are probably answered in the summary which I didn’t read, but either way I love this game.

The concept of the game was so interesting and although the story is quite sad at times, it came together to such a satisfying ending. I loved it and I believe that if you appreciate the story instead of getting caught up in the frustration of not blinking than you will love it, and when inevitably you miss something by accidentally blinking, you can just go back afterwards using the “chapters” option to see. And don’t worry, you don’t actually have to keep your eyes open for long at a time to understand everything. Over all, the imaginative animation, interactive style, and beautiful story came together to make an incredible experience that I wont quickly forget.
