With Shining Eyes

I would overall recommend this game, but also have a few mixed feelings about it. In general, it felt like a really positive exploration of learning, human connection, and self development, which I could appreciate. I also really adored how the environments looked in this one. They were weird, but only unsettling when it fit the tone, and I enjoyed looking around to see what each classroom had to offer. There was something strangely comforting about it, and this strange sense of comfort is what often makes me gravitate towards weird games. Fitting within its mood and themes, the puzzles often involved using unique problem solving skills in order to help someone else. On the other hand, the ending was kind of lackluster and left me a little disappointed. Still a pretty fun experience that I think is worth checking out, and one I'll likely replay in the future, it just felt like something was missing from the ending.

very weird but interesting experience

Красочная психодельня с приятными простыми головоломками и заделом на глубокий смысл.

With Shining Eyes — бесплатная короткая адвенчура от первого лица с элементами головоломок: вы исследуете сюрреалистичные помещения Академии Беллами, раскрываете историю бывшей ученицы Ани Эшби и нынешнего директора, разгадывая загадки в ярких, почти психоделических интерьерах. Прохождение занимает от 30 минут до часа, акцент сделан на атмосфере и визуальных открытиях. Плюсы: выразительная визуальная эстетика — насыщенные градиенты, необычные формы и контрастные цветовые решения делают каждую локацию запоминающейся, а переходы между пространствами ощущаются как смена сновидений; компактные и изобретательные головоломки — задачи органично встроены в окружение, не перегружают и дают приятное чувство озарения без утомительного гринд‑элемента. Минусы: очень короткая продолжительность — за час игра успевает показать все свои идеи и заканчивается, оставляя ощущение эскиза или арт‑эксперимента, а не полноценной истории; минимальная нарративная глубина — сюжет подаётся намёками и через окружение, поэтому эмоциональный отклик зависит от воображения игрока, и не всем такой подход покажется достаточным. Итог: стильный, медитативный мини‑опыт для любителей атмосферных «симуляторов ходьбы» и необычных визуальных решений. Подойдёт, если хочется короткой паузы с красивыми видами и ненавязчивыми загадками — но не стоит ждать от неё развёрнутого сюжета или долгого погружения.

Simple and sweet, yet such a visually stunning game. I initially found this game off some random person's profile and was immediately intrigued with the store page banner art alone. This game is a little odd at first to understand what exactly you're taking in, but it quickly settles any confusion as soon as you're trying out each door. [b]Pros:[/b] • Short game - about 30min long • Beautiful visuals for someone who is into a lot of dreamcore/vaporwave/weirdcore and more kind of aesthetics • Very easy to understand and play • Most of the puzzles are very unique and fun to figure out even if they're fairly easy • Beautiful reminders about taking care of yourself throughout the game • I personally feel this game wraps itself up very well for such a short amount of time it has to be taken in • The [spoiler]projector puzzle[/spoiler] was my favorite personally, but I loved the visuals of the [spoiler]"past" classroom[/spoiler] [b]Cons:[/b] • Lacks volume controls in the game, but this isn't a huge deal • I don't find myself likely to replay this again as it lacks replay value, but the one time experience was great nonetheless • Certain spots should just allow you to easily walk over them or having the ability to jump would've been nice - instead it just makes you walk around the extra few seconds - which is just a tad annoying, but not the biggest deal • [spoiler]I wish the secret room had a little more going on to it. For an achievement for it I'd hoped it'd have some sort of other event past a text speech.[/spoiler] Overall I think this is a nice, simple game to pass the time for about half an hour. I would recommend this if you're just in the mood for something funky and interesting. If you're looking for a sweaty, insane and/or WHOAAAA INSANELY TRIPPY kinda game then this is likely not for you. It does have a few trippy visuals, but I feel it's more on the line of Broken Reality than a game like LAVALAMP as someone here kindly mentioned or the game Mango. All in all, [b]I give it a solid 7.5/10.[/b]

Me ha encantado. La estética es preciosa y el inglés es asequible. Una pena que sea tan corto. Ojalá más!
