This game shattered me and it's literally 1.5€ right now.

It's called Before your eyes. It might be well known in the community, or not I don't know.

It's a short story-driven game that uses your webcam to detect when you blink. It's truly a wonderful mechanism and actually inst buggy in my experience.

You explore the memories of a person and you discover his life. Everytime you blink, another memory, another moment. It has such a great plot twist, or at least a turning point. The artistic direction, especially that part with a red ball (I wont spoil) is incredible. And it just captures memories perfectly. The game has good soundtracks and one of the most tear-jerking gaming experience I've had in years.

It's an hour and a half long and it is (at least in Europe) at 1.5€ instead of 9€. I can only recommand this if you want a truly emotionnal experience. It even won a bafta award. I learned that today.

I have to put a trigger warning tho, it deals with kinda sensible themes.

Have a good day :)
