Before Your Eyes

Netflix, Inc.

About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Embark on an emotional first-person adventure where you control the story — and affect the outcome — with your real-life blinks.

Dive into a world of memories and experience a soul’s journey into the afterlife as your whole life flashes before your eyes.

It all begins after you die. You're aboard the ship of a mysterious man tasked with shepherding souls to the afterlife. To help you pass on, he must learn the story of your life. Then he sends you back to relive your most important moments.

The game uses your device's camera to fully immerse you in the story. Control the flow of the narrative with your real-life eyes – blinking through precious memories of family, first love and the birth of an artistic career. Dare to look deeper and delve into your most repressed memories, where a heartbreaking truth awaits.

Combining an innovative blink-interaction mechanic with a charming world and fully voice-acted story, Before Your Eyes is a deeply emotional and relatable journey — one that explores the impossible expectations we place on ourselves and the regrets we carry with us.

Ratings and reviews

I cannot give this "game" enough praise. I'm not sure how it feels via phone or tablet to play on, but if you have any VR headset (I've seen it available for most), you should definitely try this interactive experience. It is storytelling through VR that just can't be done in a traditional movie/television experience. It doesn't overstay it's welcome and tells a beautiful story that will blindside you if watch it all the way through. VR needs more experiences like this. A+++ to the developer!!!

A beautiful, sad, but ultimately optimistic experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every second. The amount of LOVE put into it is so, so apparent. The unique gameplay mechanics definitely enhance the experience, but i did end up turning off motion/blinking features in order to see everything. It stressed me out a little, which was an intended part im sure. Id only wish for the option to turn off inverted controls on camera movement. A small price to pay.

Great game! The calibration worked perfectly for me. I think the technology has many different factors though. I loved the story. It's heartwarming. My only issue was saving the game. It doesn't save where you left off. It goes back a bit and you have to redo some of it. It felt like an old school game where you start on the last save portal that you passed. No big deal though. This game is well worth it!
