Before Your Eyes

The whole story is beautiful and with the gameplay blends well making you think of this life the protagonist has had and accepting it in the end finding peace.

I have sickle cell and deal with chronic pain on a day to day basis, I remember going through exactly what Ben was going through. I cried playing this game because I felt seen and heard, it showed me so many perspectives and gave me some hope that things will be alright. This was the most beautiful and touching game I’ve played, thank you to the creator and those who spent time on it. <3

I don’t normally write reviews, but this game was so emotional, and if you’ve been hesitating or debating on whether to download it, then you definitely should! I had a little difficulty with the blinking mechanic (which, however, can be easily turned off), and you should also be aware that there are no save options. There are chapters in which you can select to start playing from a certain part of the story, but it is often not where you last left off, leading you to sit through the same parts more than once, which can be inconvenient. Because of this, I’d recommend you play the whole game (which takes one and a half hours) in one sitting, but other than that, I highly enjoyed it! It has a beautiful narrative that shows both the internal and external struggles that the protagonist—a young boy named Benjamin—faces. It really gets you thinking about your own life and mortality, and that your worth as a person isn’t determined by how much you have or haven’t been able to accomplish (something which Benjamin comes to eventually realize after feeling the need to lie about who he really was), with one of my favorite lines from the end of the game being (‼️SPOILER ALERT‼️) “So when he was going to go, he was okay...because he'd already lived a great life. A full life. And he was everything he needed to be. Just as he was.” That line really spoke to me, and this was the first game in a while to almost make me cry. :,) I could write much more, but this review has already been long enough, and I think that anyone who has read this has got the point, haha.

Such a beautiful story. My head hurts from crying.

Okay so I downloaded the game I calibrated then decided to turn it off because it was annoying but anyway the part that got me was where he died and swapped through his mom and the orien and the cat then the gatekeeper he died so young “Benjamin Brynn was the worst he was the worst brynn to ever live he didn’t fight the diesease inside him he just layed down and died”THAT MUST HURT WHOEVER WROTE THAT SENTENCE

Game made me sob but overall it’s a really nice game. One of those relaxing games where you can make decisions.

I’ve read a few reviews complaining about this same flaw. I also have a iphone 13 and have no audio not matter what i’ve done. I played it before and it was an amazing experience. Wanted to show someone, sadly there is no audio.

This game made me cry. So beautiful

I never write reviews but this game just hit me, the first round of the game just seems like you’re reminiscing through someone’s memories but the second half is such a emotional roller coaster! I haven’t cried so much at an ending of a game in a very long time. I recommend playing for sure!

Hi all, May be sort of a copy + paste of some other people but I genuinely never write reviews for games. It successfully paired beautiful drawings with a heartfelt storyline. The interactive blinking mechanics make you feel like it’s really your own life. I even started to think about similarities between Bennie’s life and my own (with some newfound insight)! I can guarantee that you can’t go through this game without crying, so be warned! A FEW TIPS If the blinking mechanics don’t work for you, or you can’t hold your eyes open long enough, you can always disable it in settings. Also, if no audio, you need to turn your ringer on! I made this mistake too😅 The drawing section was so fun as well! And for the devs, please please please make more parts or stories for this game! Thanks!
