Curator Review

By 岚之野望 / Lan's Ambition December 11, 2024

“《历历在目》是一款创新的剧情向游戏,利用眼球追踪技术,让玩家通过眨眼控制剧情的情绪起伏和走向,沉浸于主角的回忆世界。
游戏流程不长,没有华丽辞藻或宏大故事,却以碎片化场景塑造氛围,引发共情,玩家作为只能眨眼的灵魂,在摆渡人引领下回顾一生,揭开催泪真相——一个人该如何对抗时间流逝,并追求永恒?
尽管游戏性较低,眨眼识别技术也存在识别不准等问题,但其核心在于故事与创新,让人感慨万分。

About This Game



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.
