Before Your Eyes
A game where every blink costs you a memory. Try not to blink. You will. That's the point.
Who it's for
The webcam tracks your real blinks, and each blink pushes time forward, so you physically experience how impossible it is to hold a precious moment; trying not to blink during a scene you love becomes an embodied lesson in presence and loss.
