Before Your Eyes

Before Your Eyes is a breezy indie game with a simple premise: Blink your eyes, time advances. As you live the protagonist Benjamin’s life you begin at birth and time only moves forward when you blink by using facial recognition software and your webcam. Quite handy that such a game would release in 2020 right after everyone with a remote job had recently acquired such a device. What follows is an emotional story about parenting, expectations, love, and loss. The blinking mechanic ties into the narrative very well, serving to help underline the game’s message, but the real magic is in the writing and voice acting of this extremely well produced indie title. So listen in and learn how Bryan got Josh to play a game that took control of his computer’s webcam!
