Before Your Eyes

Duro.

😭

As someone who has had childhood full of medical trauma, this game was amazing. There are very few movies/books/games that I've related to, but this game hit home. I loved it (even though i cried the whole time lol)

I've teared up at games. AC Black Flag, To The Moon, parts of some Far Cry games maybe, but I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bawled. The other reviews are not overreacting. I teared up during the game, but I kept waiting for it to ramp up. And then it ended. And I cried. I ugly cried. I ugly cried while i wrote this review, and while I thought about the game, and the people I had, and while I put on my own and cried until there so water for tears left. Please play this game, try to imagine yourself as Ben, relate to him, every little piece. It's worth it.

Bad algorithm. It thinks I was blinking when I was just crying

Gostei bastante do jogo, a mecânica de piscar é bem diferente e de vez em quando dá umas travadas, mas no geral acho que acrescenta bastante na experiência. A narrativa é bem interessante e emocionante. Recomendo bastante que joguem.

Before I start my review I need to say that getting the controls right for this game to work on the steam deck took me an unnaturally long amount of time and I was very close to giving up and playing this game on my laptop- which by the way I would say is the best way this game could be played. It ended up working on my Deck but it felt like I was losing out on a whole other layer of this by not depending on a webcam to track my eyes and when they blink, that and I truly do think using a mouse would work best in certain parts of the game. But the game. Holy cow guys it was so good??? I got it for $1.99 on the steam summer sale which is still going on at the time of me posting this and 6,000% you should spend that money because this blew me away. Sure I don't like the ferryman that much- his face is kinda flat and I don't think his design particularly reads "dog" but the story of Ben's life brought me to tears. I can't say much without major spoilers but this is a short and bittersweet game that I think most cozy gamers or short story gamers would particularly love. Yes I cried ugly towards the end and I am a Mom defender at the end of the story. TRIGGER WARNING: I do have to put a warning for the death of several pets, it took me by surprise and I'm shocked how I didn't catch it through the first loop with the hints they gave but the full reveal took me back and shocked me a bit. Yes there's blood and its not a super fast scene so I figured I'd warn people in case its a deal breaker. I will say it had a profound effect on the story and I don't feel like it was just put in there willy-nilly. It probably lasts 3 minutes in its entirety with less than a second of you being able to see them in full view.
