MY EYES!!!
It was quite an experience. Overall, it is an interesting story that relies solely on the gimmicks with blinking.
This is definitely a VR game for headsets with eye tracking. But unfortunately, I had to play with a regular PC and a camera, so the experience was a bit diluted.
The story itself is linear with a few "choices" that don't actually change the overall plot. It delivers the narrative well and tells an interesting tearful tale. Although, after too much staring, your eyes will be teary by default. :)
The gimmick is just that - a gimmick. Instead of clicking the mouse or pressing a button - you blink. That's it. Its inferior to the interactive tales where you can do more with a gamepad or a keyboard, but it's just right for a hands-free VR experience. Also, the "blink or you'll miss it" is not that apparent. There are only a few places where your eyes are put to the test, and I think it is mandatory to pass them.
The graphics and the music are fine. The models are on a more simple side, probably so that the game could run on most of the devices. But simple graphics are enough. This is not about breathtaking scenery, but about telling a story of a person, and the art design with simple models works just fine. And music supports the tone of the story as well.
This is a good game with a nice story. I got my bunch of emotions from playing this game and don't regret it even if it was on a flat screen. Although if I ever get my hands on a VR set with eye tracking - I'll definitely give it another go.
