Conversations inform you of the key things you need to know, but hang around long enough, and you’ll pick up nuances as if the camera was left rolling. This Before Your Eyes game is like a table read of skilled actors, producing a lucid clarity, but a spontaneity that is natural as honest dialogue. The advantage with the mouse is the ability to linger around longer in a scene, as the characters in the game are just so wonderful to listen to, somewhat voyeuristic, but in a poetic sort of way.
You don’t need anything special as a standard setup should suffice, but rest assured you can play without one, which was my first experience, using a mouse. The game is designed to be played with a webcam as it tracks your eye movements and blinking.
#BEFORE YOUR EYES GAME OST SERIES#
The webcam or cursor will track your movements, and a literal blink or click will propel you forward in a series of memoriesīut before describing the events, it’s essential to know how innovative Before Your Eyes is. But before this can happen, he wants to know more about you, and to do that, the story shifts to your experiences growing up, very much like your life flashing before your eyes. He proceeds to inform you that you will be taken to the guardian, and pending you pass the test, will be accepted into her realm. Without any features or appendages other than a suggested eye, all you can do is blink to acknowledge your understanding. Told from a first-person perspective, it appears that your soul has been selected, perhaps at random, by a wolf-like ferryman.
