A beautiful and heartbreaking story. I cried so much... it felt so real, so close. The real masterpice during the whole story is the game itself. I wish I could erase my memory to play again for the first time.

I do not normally write game reviews, or take the time too. "Before your eyes", has moved me enough to the point where I feel that i NEED to write a review. We spend so much time worrying about what we will become, instead of actually trying to become what we wish to. This well written story showed everyone who played, that time moves way too fast. Too fast so that when it is our time to leave this Earth, we realize all the things we weren't able to accomplish. Things we wish we could have been. We realize it is too late. We spend time doing things we don't necessarily enjoy, and don't do things we did enjoy. This story honestly connected with me so well. I am leaving for the military after i graduate in 2 weeks, and after I finished this game it had me in tears. I have spent a good amount of years on this Earth wasting my time. Not having direction. Realizing that i'm not in middle school anymore, and it's time I've stopped sitting around waiting for something good to happen in my life, I've stopped feeling bad for myself. This story will have you contemplating a lot of things, and sitting back and looking at your life, it really does go by in a blink. So to finish this review off, enjoy the time you have with family, one day you will be packing boxes, taking down the last picture off your wall, and throwing it the back of your car. It won't be a permanent goodbye, but it won't ever be the same again. Thank you for making this beautiful game. I bawled my eyes out, and it was an experience like no other.

For a while now I've considered overly-depressing indie games my guilty pleasure in terms of games, and believe me when I say this game was my guiltiest of pleasures.
