When most games look to make their games longer to cram in more "value," GoodbyeWorld sought to make a game that left an impression on the player, not just take up their time, and I can't think of a game that's ever done this quite this well or succinctly. This game exemplifies the phrase "quality over quantity," though. That Steam review was right about the length my playthrough took me less than 90 minutes. The narrative is told as a frame story - think Heart of Darkness if you've ever read that - where Benjamin's soul has been fished up by a boatman who is going to plead his case to the Gatekeeper to allow his soul into her heavenly city. The game follows the life of Benjamin Brynn from early childhood through to the end of his life. You have a very limited amount of camera movement with the mouse, and you blink to interact with objects and progress to the next scene (there's not movement in a traditional 3D space). It's controlled primarily with your webcam to track your blinks the only input from your mouse is to move a cursor, and the keyboard isn't used at all. Before Your Eyes is one of the most unique games I think I've ever played. For the record, the dick from the Steam review apologized and repurchased the game after the Internet Inquisition got its hooks into him. I've never heard of this game, but that's a dick move, so I bought it to support the developer." Never one to miss a good pro-game dev bandwagon, I decided to go drop $10 on the game, too. A TON of people were like "Wow, screw that guy.

… Expandīefore your eyes is an indie PC game that I'd never even heard of before I saw a retweet from the developer talking about a Steam review from Before your eyes is an indie PC game that I'd never even heard of before I saw a retweet from the developer talking about a Steam review from a guy who played the game, loved the game, and then refunded the game because it was short. The combination of its controls and plot result in a brilliant experience that you will remember as one of the most unique and heartfelt games of all time.
If so you may have to recalibrate the blink controls every 10 min or so, but they make that simple, and at most it took me 45 seconds to fix. Yes, the eye detection does not work too well if you do not have a good webcam or wear glasses like I do. It’s narrative isn’t the most complicated thing ever, but it is well written and emphasized by its mechanics. It is not a game for everyone, as it is very wholesome and melancholic, and is a sob story indie style. Before Your Eyes is undoubtedly one of the best games of 2021 if not of all time, and makes brilliant use of mechanics to drive its narrative about self acceptance and making the best use of the time you have. Before Your Eyes Ngl, I created this account solely to review this game bc I think it’s Metacritic score is frustratingly low for what it is.
