5 Best Games Coming in 2021

2. Before Your Eyes

Release Date: April 8, 2021

Company: GoodbyeWorld Games

Before Your Eyes is a new adventure game that tracks players movements in a unique way, using a webcam it tracks through the movement of their eyes and advances the game through their blinking. The plot follows the newly deceased Benjamin Brynn on his journey through the afterlife. He is guided by a creature known as the Ferryman who, along with he player learns the details of his life and goes through the most important moments of it. The story may sound simplistic at first but as this reviewer found out, there is much more nuance to Brynn’s story, and the blinking mechanism adds a feeling of “there till it isn’t” to his memories as we experience them.

The graphics are very simplistic, and it is only available on PC through Steam, but it offers a truly unique experience and a phenomenal story about life and death, as seen through the eyes of another.
