Before Your Eyes is a first person narrative adventure which
tells the story of a soul’s journey into the afterlife using a new
and innovative form of interaction—your real-life blinks.

The story begins after your death, aboard the ship of a mythical
Ferryman tasked with shepherding souls to the afterlife. In order
to help you pass on, he must first learn the story of your life.
And so, he sends you back to relive your most important
moments.

The game uses your webcam to immerse you in this story in a way
you’ve never experienced before. You will learn to control the flow
of the narrative with your actual eyes–blinking through precious
memories of family, first love, and the rise of an artistic career.
But soon the Ferryman will suspect you aren’t showing him
everything he needs to see. So he will force you deeper into the
dark recesses of your most repressed memories, ultimately revealing
a heartbreaking truth.

By combining its innovative blink interaction mechanic with a
charming world and a fully voice-acted story, Before Your Eyes is a
deeply emotional and relatable journey—one about the impossible
expectations we place on ourselves and the regrets we carry with
us.

An earlier version of the game, titled  Close Your ,
received the Game Developers Choice award at Indiecade and the
Student Award at the Independent Game Awards (IGF), before
receiving funding through a successful Kickstarter campaign.
