About BEHIND THESE EYES: A Short Horror Story

✦ AI summary

Behind These Eyes: A Short Horror Story follows Moribu as he awakens in a nightmarish reality after a desperate attempt to save his loved ones, forced to unravel a disturbing mystery while navigating an unsettling world. The game distinguishes itself through a deeply engrossing narrative, diverse and challenging puzzles beyond typical horror fare, and a carefully crafted atmosphere of mounting dread designed to unsettle both horror veterans and newcomers alike.


Behind These Eyes is a unique, exciting, and terrifying new horror game. Take control of protagonist Moribu, in his epic fight to overcome his penetrating fear, and save those he holds most dear.

Moribu barely escaped his fellow gang members after attempting to leave the group for a better life. Now, seen as a potential threat to the rest of the gang, he is under attack. Having evaded his enemies until now, something has changed. They have threatened his loved ones. However, there is one condition. If he gives himself up to his gang, to be tortured and potentially murdered, he could save them from death. It's time to make a move...

Moribu decides the best way to save his friends and avoid the inevitable torture if he gives himself up to his gang, is taking his own life. However, something happens. Something goes - wrong? Something worse than what Moribu originally attempted to avoid, has just become a reality.

A strange feeling comes over Moribu as he wakes up in a dark and filthy alley.
"I can't feel a thing".
He looks up to see a man standing above him in the darkness.
"Hey, newcomer. Need some help?".

While Behind These Eyes incorporates many of your typical horror game elements, I have made it a main priority to set it apart from other games of the genre. Having played many horror games, I have found most of them to lack in thier ability to tell an interesting story. In Behind These Eyes I have put alot of effort into creating a storyline that is deep and engrossing, keeping players eager to unravel the whole story.

I have also put extensive effort into the puzzles that face the player. Most horror games go no further than a maze or two, but I have gone a few steps beyond all that. Complete various unique, never before seen puzzles (as well as a few horror classics), with just the right difficulty curve for all players.

And finally, the horror atmosphere. With an unsettling world, an ambience that's just slightly discomforting, and a good scare every now and then, you'll find fear lurking around every corner, unavoidable to veteran horror gamers, and players new to the genre alike.

An average play-through of the game is about 30 minutes.

The fear within your mind has just become the fear within your world... Goodbye.

✦ AI summary

Behind These Eyes suffers from numerous technical problems including locked resolution, visibility issues, UI bugs, poor writing with T-posed NPCs, and audio glitches that undermine the experience. The game also features tedious maze-like level design with little interesting gameplay, though a few players found isolated moments of fun in individual puzzles or appreciated the spooky horror atmosphere enough to recommend it as a brief time-killer.

The story is jumbled nonsense; it's too dark to see, and you can't adjust the brightness; when I pressed paused and went into the settings, the settings menu remained floating in the middle of the screen even after I resumed playing and wouldn't go away; the grammar is awful; and the audio randomly stops and starts for no reason. That said, I did enjoy the second puzzle. It only took a minute or two, but it was fun.

Behind These Eyes is a badly made first person horror adventure that seems to have been assembled from a bunch of flipped assets from the Unreal Marketplace. Resolution is locked and can't be changed (a major gaffe from the developer here, as Unreal certainly allows for a customisable gaming experience, when developers know how to use it right). That kind of low quality defect is typical for the buggy, poor quality implementation of this "game". Everything looks blurry due to the locked resolution. The writing is abysmally poor. Talking to an NPC is a comically bad experience as the NPCs are all T-Posed and the badly written text doesn't always display right, sometimes overlapping several times. Despite being clunky high school tier asset flipped garbage, the developer is charging a comical $5 USD for someone else's Unreal Marketplace assets, so that's funny, but totally not worth it.

I bought this game as a short experience for my lunch break. Oh boy, I just wish I had bought an extra drink... Absolutely horrendous level design. Typical maze time wasters with nothing really interesting happening. The game started with an interesting premise and I was ready to believe that the reviews were exaggerating on how bad the game actually is. But the reviews are more than accurate. Even for free, this thing is not worth your time. It's as if the developer(s) had fun for an evening and then decided to put it out on Steam. Strongly NOT recommended, even for free.

I just returned home from a 6 month tour in Iraq, and I wanted to play video games with my friends for the first time since I left. What we like to do is pick games to watch each other play, and I decided on this due to the price. I looked past all the bad reviews and decided to give it a try because it looked quality. All I did for 25 minutes was run around in a circle and have to click on my screen every 5 seconds because my mouse would go to the other monitor. When I FINALLY advance to the next stage, I run into a cave that has no direction and a million paths. Next thing you know, I jump and then I got stuck and could not move. Literally ruined my night, and I may consider quitting gaming as a whole. Thank you for ruining my happiness
