In the growing catalog of mobile games that Netflix is adding, there is a recent one that shines with its own light: before your eyes. Awarded as one of the best games of 2021, the title boasts an ingenious mechanic to tell an emotional interactive story. Before your eyes is now available to all Netflix subscribers.
Talking about Netflix implies referring to the huge catalog of series and movies that the streaming platform has, but little by little are expanding their horizons to other multimedia territories. The reality are part of their priority productions, they also tend to opt for documentaries and interactive video stories. And what is more interactive than a video game? In hindsight, Netflix including mobile games was a pretty logical step.
Before your eyes, emotional and very original
If you blink you don’t miss it
Netflix’s game catalog recently swelled with Before your eyes, a 2021 title that won different awards throughout the year and that had not yet landed on mobile platforms. Now it does it in the hands of Netflix. And keeping the original content intact.
The story of Before your eyes narrates that moment that is supposed to happen after death, when all life passes before the eyes as a kind of reminder of the good things that happened during the years of existence. Also the bad, of course, that bad decisions also count. And just about that turns the mechanics of Before your eyes: to decide the story.
The originality of the game stems from the mechanics itself: to decide we must blink. Through face detection (Before your eyes uses access to the camera for said detection, it is optional) we have to choose the following steps until unravel the entire plot that spun the life of the protagonist. As we blink we will navigate through history in the same way that the soul navigates towards the beyond.
Before your eyes offers a way to interact with the phone that we have not seen in any other mobile game. The story is very neat, as well as the setting and the artistic design of all the scenes. Too bad it’s too short, in just under two hours it’s finished. The remains are in Spanish, the voices in English.
