Before Your Eyes

honestly, a baseball bat to the shins would have been less painful. 10/10 experience. you should play it.

when i thought the game was over i was like "oh this wasn't so bad, i dont know what all the big fuss online was about" and then i got to the end and oh boy... im just glad i was alone when i started uncontrollably weeping

Yeah, I... I cried... and not because of having dry eyes 🥲 A work of art, with a great twist. I recommend it to everyone. It's a game you have to play at least once in your life.

Made me ball me eyes out. Genuinely the BEST story game i have played so far. Everything about this game is amazing, the story, the mechanic, i actually cant comprehend how good this game is. This is something you have to experience firsthand.

Beautiful story. Beautiful game. But the game keeps struggling with my blinking. I had to recalibrate a couple time, maybe it's cuz I'm Asian.

Before you eyes is such a wonderfully unique game with a somber yet heartwarming story. Its a short and sweet game that doesn't pull its punches when trying to hit you in the feels and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new reason to cry.

This game connected me to my younger self and my relationship with my mom in ways I can't really explain. This game also caught me bawling my eyes out; This game is a masterpiece.

a brief and amazing experience that unluckily no aaa will be brave enough to give you.

This Game oh my gawd this game. probably the happiest and sadist game I have ever played the characters and the story are just amazing truly one of the best games i have ever played

Made me cry cause of the peak I witnessed in this game. Very unique story game with a mechanic I have never experienced before. A one of a kind game that touched my heart.

It's a very cool concept, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. But bear in mind it's a very short experience. It's not even much of a game really.

The ability to make someone cry through it's subtlety and simple concept. Last time I played this my own brother hadn't actually got cancer yet however it happened soon after. The incline to play this game again since was heavy. It's so good

The blinking mechanic really took me into the world and the story told is fantastic. Not a long game by any means but certainly one of the most engaging and fun games I have played in awhile. I highly recommend the game for anyone that cares for good story being told in great ways.

a game that deserves more hype. From a cool art and creative direction, to the ability to blink in game.

Utter peak. Fun to interact with your eyes and a great story to complement it!

I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the most touching and genuinely beautiful games I have ever played. The gameplay circles around living another person's life through your own eyes, and blinking is the main way you interact with the game. This gameplay concept creates a sense of immersion that I have never had with any other game, to the point where I felt like the character itself. It was an experience, moreso than a game, but one that I would say is worth every penny. I don't think a game has ever made me feel this way, the emotions are uncontrollable by the end of the game. Genuine masterpiece.

i went in completely clueless expecting some puzzles or something complicated that would use the blinking mechanic and once it all began and i saw it wasnt really what i thought it would be i laid back and let myself get completely immersed in the story. I had a little bit of trouble setting up webcam since i wore glasses but once i took them off everything worked perfectly. The way it flows is just so mind boggingly smooth i forgot i was playing a game at some points throughout the story. i wanted to stay in every single moment for as long as possible trying to sink in as much of the story as i could and even then sometimes i just couldnt. Such is life for it doesnt wait for no one. i wont say anything about the story for i leave that to the person reading this review and considering if they wanna give it a shot. Trust me on this one, you wont regret it. The art was unique and not something i expected but was very comfortable and easy to get in step with. the soundtrack was amazing and when i say amazing i mean Outstandingly beautiful and touching. Almost as much as the entire story. i got the game outside of a sale thinking to myself man what a bummer but honestly the developers and all the talanted people behind this masterpiece deserve it. From the innovative gameplay mechanic to every little detail in enviroment mood and setting this game exceeded my expectations. Sincerely wish there were more games like this one that have an eye opening effect and after youre done youre just sitting there thinking and reconsidering everything as you know it. A shining gem among the tons of characterless games people put out in todays day and time.

Amazing and sad Game is a 10/10 on everything music,style,story,and the character And the blink interaction is so cool

i felt something again ... if you dont have a cam, you can use Droidcam from play store/aurora store, and get the app on windows, its recommended but not necessary to have a cam let this story touch your heart please :)

The story is so captivating, this is my first time seeing a game use eye tracking. It's so creatively done!

So BEAUTIFUL game first of all. I cried at the ending (no spoilers!) and I loved Ernie. The one thing I'd critique is not being able to NOT befriend the neighbour kid. At the end both options the wolf gives us is positive and I wish we could say "She meant nothing to me" etc as on my first PT I ignored her completely as I didnt really like her. Call me what u want but I was one of those "School is for learning not for making friends" kids. I was bullied and socially awkard and the girl remind me too much of those kids I hated ie not paying attention and disrespecting the teachers.

What an absolute masterpiece. The game lies to you at the beginning. This is NOT a game about blinking. It is a game about memory and its fragility, about family, about life. It made me bawl so much. The integration of art, music, storytelling, all aspects of the game are perfectly woven together with deep characters . I did not even put 2 hours into the game, and it has moved me SO profoundly.

This is hands down one of the best games I've ever played. By the end I was bawling my eyes out so hard, it kept switching scenes because of my blinks. Seriously to whoever hasn't played it before, just do it. It's so so worth it.

I didn't think I'd have such an emotional response to this game, but hearing your mom say that being you is enough, really spoke to me. I'd never thought I'd love a game more than Hollow Knight or Celeste, but here we are. It's worth its price tag and more, and I recommend this game to anyone and everyone, regardless of your favorite genre, or even a gamer at all. It's message is something I think everyone needs to hear, even once. 10/10.

A calm and beautiful game; I really struggled to keep my eyes open, tho. (I don't know anymore if it was because I was always with my eyes open or if I was really crying at some point, haha). This game was such a unique and profound experience. I really, really recommend it!

Short, beautiful narrative with a unique gameplay mechanic.

Absolutely recommend this game. I couldnt control the TEARS! Did not expect the ending... Love it.

Others have put it better as to why this game is worth a play, the only thing I can really add without absolutely spoiling anything is that it is pretty short, maybe 1-2 hours, but it is worth it.

When I completed this game I was left speechless. A story so beautiful, so emotional and so real, I couldn't even distract myself from continuing. I really think it's one of most beautiful expirience that you could live through and the best part it's not that long. It is game for around 1-2 hours at max, but I swear, you'll love every blink of this time

Amazing Game. Many times throughout playing the game I was reminded of memories I haven't thought about in so long and that alone was enough to be an amazing game, but after the plot twist and the message given at the end of the story which to me was about how we can chase whatever fantasies we want our lives to take, but it's important to realize how good our lives already are.

My friend recommended this game to me and smiled the whole time while I played it. I wouldve rather been taken outback and be put down like old yeller. Two in the heart, one in the head. I havent sobbed like this since I was thirteen years old. This game ripped my soul out and told me to go fuck myself. Whoever made this game really needs a check in with a psychiatric facility. Amazing game though

Before Your Eyes is most likely the only game I'll ever post a review about, but its by far the most personal story game I've ever played. As someone who relates to the story more than he'd want to, this is some of the best representation of illness as a child I've seen in media. It's the only game that's ever made me cry, so far at least, and by far the best experience I've had playing a game as short as it is. The mechanic of blinking in real life is amazing, haven't played anything like it before. Before Your Eyes is a beautiful, emotional and personally relatable short story game that captures the essence of becoming grievously ill before you've even gone through puberty. 10/10

This game is beautiful and just truly shows how precious life is and shows you how your thoughts, decisions and or perceptions impacts yourself and others. Definitely left me shedding a tear or two with how well this is made. Definitely worth playing. 10/10.

1 single manly tear out of 5 blinks Before Your Eyes as a game is a lot more simple than you'd expect, and may irritate you with the camera blinking for you (basically never move your head is the best advice i have for that) but its not the complexity of the controls that make it such a great game. nor is it even the gimmick of the camera, although it certainly adds to the experience. nay, it is a great game through its great story. a game that doesn't hook you with some high action chaos, but with the human element. I shan't spoil it. It is well worth the price, there isn't much i can say as to why that doesn't just spoil it, and while i can often hazard a few spoils, this game is so dependent on telling it's narrative to unfold itself, i simply cannot speak on it so as to not damage the experience for you. if you do end up hating it, well, a full playthough took me about 2 hours and i was meandering. so worst case you can refund that 3-13 bucks truly a 10/10 experience for me

holy shit. this is the greatest depiction of death and life ive ever seen. ive never been so emotional during a game in my life, the plot twists, the characters you meet, the impressiveness of your eyes narrating the characters life and the connectives to yourself and your own body. you go through so many emotions, so many lifetimes and the game is so fucking well made. i am beyond impressed and as im writing this, in tears. what a lovely, strange game.

Incredibly beautiful work of art, it is a must play, was certainly crying at the end.

This was such a beautiful game. Very much cried. Like a lot throughout the whole thing. Definitely would play again. Very much not okay right now I am in shambles this game was just so beautiful. This is 100% a game everyone should play.

This game is personal to me. I'm a youngster and I understand that I have a lot to do and live, but at the same time, I don't think I've accomplished many things. I got through most of school and going into my third year of highschool after lots of work. But that's meant to happen for me virtually. I want to do something that I am proud of and that everyone else can appreciate. This game touched upon that for me and I love that. 10/10

truly a heartfelt story, so much depth in the characters in such a short game, 10/10 please play the game with a webcam!!

this game can now be added to the few personal games that have made me cry. the story was beautiful, with a twist that was foreseeable but still had a major impact for me. 10/10.

10/10 such a beautiful and innovative game. Must’ve been a really dusty day… my eyes wouldn’t stop tearing up.

The sea you see at the beginning is made of all the tears players have shed. What an innovative, intense and unforgettable experience!

The game is something you will never experience in any other game truly an experience like no other.

I got the game after seeing it mentioned in some tiktok comments thinking "yeah why not, lets see what is this all about". I didn't have much expectations even after playing it for an hour or so. I stopped playing it for a while, then came back to it just to finish and uninstall it. But man... at the end IT was the one who finished me! I really can't describe how amazing this game is. I played many tear-jerking games before, but this one is just different, it truly can give you a new perspective about life... and death. I'm defiantly going to play it again.

Wow... just wow. I saw this game on a TikTok edit moments before and I wanted something sad to play. It's really hard deep so I bought this when I started the game. I didn't think much of it slow just starting the life of a young infant through the eyes watching their life happen before them. but by time I got near the end had such a strong, emotionally hearted man myself I broke down and it ruined me. This one of the most if not the most gutwrenching game I've ever played, but it was so good. I never really reviews but this one deserves it. You might enjoy the moment while it's happening. I just remember you can't stay.

Very good story based game with a really creative gimmick where your eyes control what happens in the game. But there 2 tiny problems with this game: -Its so hard to keep MY GODDAMN EYES OPEN! I missed so many key points in the story because i couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to see it (blinking makes you travel through time), so I'm thankful the developers added an option to make left click a blink. -Its so short! This game really was amazing, it made me cry even, but it was too short to appreciate! I 100%'ed the game in less than three hours! But still, please, if you like emotional or story based games, or even just gimmicky games, then please give this game try! 9.7/10

I am not a huge story game player. I have always played fps's, strategy, and other games. This game has quite literally OPENED my eyes to such a beautiful genre of games. I cannot lie its definitely a tear jerker, but i loved every minute of it.

this is the most beautiful game i've ever played. i replay it twice a year and it never disappoints.

Blink detection was a bit glitchy but the writing and especially the voice acting are phenomenal

It's sad but very captivating. Very creative I only wished I was using an eye tracker
