As the scene expands with each blink, the edges of what you see ripple, as only small parts of sometimes vague memories are remembered. Presented like a kid’s painting with crude triangle noses on the characters and pastel colours, it’s actually gorgeous. The visuals are equally simple and effective. You want to be in the moment and play through naturally, but some moments were touching to the point that I didn’t want to miss a second of it. However, in a few moments that felt particularly key to the story, I found myself reaching under the front of the headset to physically hold my eyes open if I couldn’t keep them open otherwise. Blink and you’ll miss it, savour the small moments of life, it’s part of Before Your Eyes’ message. That’s annoying, but not in the sense that it’s a flaw. It’s out for Windows PC on Steam in April. Sometimes whether you want it to or not, a blink can skip most of a scene, taking a key moment away from you before it’s even really begun. Developed by GoodbyeWorld Games, Before Your Eyes tells the story of an entire life and lets you move from one memory to the next by blinking. In Before Your Eyes though, weight is added every single time you close your eyes. BAFTA-winning narrative experience, Before Your Eyes, is now available on PSVR 2 'Weve laid in wait for the commercial tech to reach the right place for us to bring it to VR'. You can play the game while sitting, but the unabated way to play is while standing. I don’t normally think about when I’m blinking, it’s automatic. Before Your Eyes delivers a touching story that leans into the PSVR2 hardware to do so. You’re best limiting your knowledge of the story as much as possible, but the ingenious decision to tie the progression of time to your own blinks is what makes Before Your Eyes special. The music, voice acting, and writing are all excellent too, creating a story that’s best played in one sitting (it’s only 90 minutes long). What at first seems like a cute story of a growing family quickly turns into an emotional and often heartbreaking story about family and learning to appreciate your life for what it is, rather than what you or others thought it could be. That might not be enough input for some VR fans, but the wonderful story and eye-tracking make Before Your Eyes one of the most immersive games on PSVR 2. You can put the Sense controllers down and just take in the story.
