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.

Honestly, this game is so beautiful, from the art style, to the plot, to the premise. Even the game mechanics; if you can’t keep your eyes open for long enough, you miss it. And that’s one of the ways it’s so beautiful. You only have one chance for a scene, and that’s it.

The reveal at the end was a bit jarring, but the good kind of jarring. I’d suggest playing it to really find out. Originally, I came into it thinking: “Oh, this game seems fun, let me try it out!” and I came out of it full on crying. It’s a touching story with such good writing, it gave me literal chills.

As I am typing this, I’ve finished the game about five minutes ago. I truly cannot express (without spoiling) how absolutely incredible this game is. I’m not a big reviewer and I don’t usually play these types of games but I know I’m going to play this game over and over until I get tired of blinking, because it’s just that good.
