    Before Your Eyes was an incredibly emotional roller coaster. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a game. I’ll say nothing more to avoid spoilers, but I was bawling my eyes out at the end. 😭 It’s a must play.

    The 15th Indie Game Tarot card is Before Your Eyes. There were a lot of suggestions for Judgement, but this series has always been about celebrating the unique things indie devs have been creating and Before Your Eyes is unlike any other game I've ever played.

    Trying to take some time off after the exam, I watched a playthrough of a game called: Before Your Eyes, and oh my goodness—I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. You blink to progress, and in doing so, you’re blinking as life passes you by. It’s as heart-wrenching as it is truly special.

And I'm really impressed that so much was able to be conveyed in such a short time (~90 minutes). This game earns a 9/10 for me. 👍 If you can handle some big sad feelings, it is - - -

    Last example: Before Your Eyes. A narrative game that used your camera to catch you blinking and time skipped through your character's life every time you did. You genuinely want to hold your eyes open as long as possible knowing that some moments can never last.

    You might play as a baby in Goodnight Universe, but the game has big shoes to fill. Made by developers who worked on the critically-acclaimed Before Your Eyes, it doesn’t quite reach the same heights as its predecessor. @mindcontrollers.bsky.social reviews.

    Before Your Eyes, you play the game with a webcam and the only controls are your eyes. Eye movement controls the focus on the screen and blinking controls progression. It's very short, but very unique and emotional.

    25. Before Your Eyes (Mobile, 2021) You play this game with your eyes. When you blink, the story advances. A cool concept, but when you present a heartbreaking and genuine story like this, that control method works against you. Take that as a compliment. I was literally on the verge of tears.

    Before Your Eyes is the most mechanically original game I've ever played. You don't have to click a single time—it's played entirely by blinking. It does an incredible job exploring the passage of time, mortality, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life.
