What was said about Before Your Eyes

  • Before Your Eyes uses the player's blinks to move time forward. The game is a narrative adventure that reads the player's blinks through a webcam, and each blink moves time on. The player therefore can't stay in a scene for long. It is described as heartbreaking.

    Mark Brown mentions it in a Game Maker's Toolkit video about The Forgotten City. The source gives no sales, player or design-test numbers for Before Your Eyes.
