He says he’s going to take you to see the Gatekeeper so that you may be judged for your actions in life for the chance to be let into her glorious city. The game begins on a boat where you are awakened by The Ferryman, a scruffy anthropomorphic mutt of a man who has just fished you out of a river of souls. You will miss things, but in a way that’s the point. Personally, I think GoodbyeWorld did a great job of giving you time to focus on what’s going on while creating the urgency of not missing anything. It really is pivotal to getting the full experience of the game. However, I would really recommend playing with the blinking mechanic enabled if you can, at least for your first playthrough. If you’re still really concerned about blinking through the game, you can opt out of the functionality and click through using a mouse instead. In my playthrough I felt my blinks were pretty accurately detected, and had minimal issues. (Note: If you plan on streaming the game with a separate camera capture in your overlay it would benefit you to use two different webcams, one for yourself and one for your blinks.) Before starting the game you do a calibration test and have the option to calibrate at any point if you feel an adjustment is needed. The game can utilize your webcam to detect your real life blinks. Now if you’re thinking “oh my god I could never play that game, I blink so much” I assure you there’s no need to worry. I was instantly intrigued by the charming art style and gameplay premise - navigating the narrative with real time blinking. ![]() Being steeped in the indie game world, I was surprised that I had missed any news about Before Your Eyes until after its release.
