Before Your Eyes is a short game (roughly two hours) with very little gameplay but a compelling story. You're introduced as a wayward soul, picked up from the sea of the afterlife by a mysterious character known as the Ferryman, who listens to your character's life story. This recounting will determine whether your soul will move on to paradise or remain in purgatory, and as the player, you influence this by selecting from different choices and progressing through your memories by blinking - a unique mechanic set up by tracking your eyes from a camera. There is an option to use the mouse instead, but I would recommend playing with the camera first. There were tons of moments where I struggled to keep my eyes open when I desperately wanted to for a multitude of reasons, such as fighting back tears or focusing during a prolonged scene. And combined with the desire to take in as much of the dialogue and interactions with the characters as possible, this was a truly unique way for me to become immersed in the game - as soon as it clicked, I was hooked. This story is about what it means to grow up and pursue your dreams, the meaning behind what you choose to do and say, and the contrast between how beautiful and unfair life can be. The ending utterly broke me and I am so thankful to have been able to experience it. I still think about this game and what it has to say.
