Before Your Eyes

Before Your Eyes

iOS & Android via Netflix (GoodbyeWorld Games)

Your soul is being judged, so you have to scroll through your whole life to find the great things you did that could get you into the game's version of the Good Place. And all you have to do to do all that is look around and blink.

As you watch scenes from your childhood, a metronome appears at the bottom of the screen. If you blink, you jump forward in time, sometimes by a minute or two and sometimes by many years. So you can enjoy a scene, but only for a short time. Whether you like it or not, one blink will come, and that moment will be gone for good.

It's a fascinating meditation on how even the best parts of our lives don't last forever. It makes you feel like you're a part of its flow, even if you don't want to be, as unintentional blinks move you away from childhood and into adulthood.

For any parent who has watched their child grow up, it's a haunting process that won't leave many dry-eyed by the end of the movie's less than two-hour runtime, even if the ending is a bit sappy.

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Embark on an emotional first-person adventure where you control the story — and affect the outcome — with your real-life blinks.

Dive into a world of memories and experience a soul’s journey into the afterlife as your whole life flashes before your eyes.

It all begins after you die. You're aboard the ship of a mysterious man tasked with shepherding souls to the afterlife. To help you pass on, he must learn the story of your life. Then he sends you back to relive your most important moments.

The game uses your device's camera to fully immerse you in the story. Control the flow of the narrative with your real-life eyes – blinking through precious memories of family, first love and the birth of an artistic career. Dare to look deeper and delve into your most repressed memories, where a heartbreaking truth awaits.

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