Playtime: ~2 hours Rating: Life-changing A memorable make-you-cry indie. Not your regular game. It revolves around a blinking mechanic. Using your webcam, it tracks your eye movements and advances the story whenever you blink. Why? This game shows you moments of life. Moments which you blink past. Moments that pass before you realize they're gone. Sometimes you desperately want to stay in one just a few seconds longer. You fight the blink. Your eyes water. You do everything you can to hold on. But eventually... You blink anyway. That's life. You never realize when the last time is actually the last time. The last hug. The last conversation. The last laugh. The last time you see someone. You just... blink. Instead of focusing on a future you don't even know you'll have, be grateful for the life you have and cherish it for as long as you can. Laugh, love, grieve, but be present. Time doesn't ask for permission. Every moment eventually ends, and that's precisely why each one is so valuable.
10/10 Best $15 I've ever spent Most immersive game I've ever played, PLEASE play it with a webcam(if you don't have one, use your phone) you should also play it in one sitting(game is 90-120 mins long). Unfortunately it's really hard not to blink when they randomly apply the blurry/watery filter that gives you a runny nose.
