Close Your Eyes

The game is advertised as a remake of "Close Your Eyes" but it is in reality a collection of multiple games. [b]The Close Your Eyes game itself within this collection is still unfinished after almost 7 years of early access and cannot be completed. [/b] I don't recommend buying this, play the original instead.

I personally do not think I will continue to follow the development of this game, as it's going in a direction that I just can not force myself to enjoy. I adored the original [i]Close Your Eyes[/i], and think it's issues, such as the rare annoying enemy encounter or tedious puzzle, were easy to overlook because, horror wise, it was really effective with such an interesting story and cast of characters. It also, most notably, did not overstay it's welcome, so even drawn out sections could be forgiven for their purpose to the overall story. I still adore it's characters to this day and, at first, loved the idea of learning more about them through seeing them in future projects. I wouldn't mind the development of this game being slow, or changes being minimal, if I felt that was what I was getting. With a remake, there are so many chances to include added dialogue, scenes, and additional horror that help flesh out the characters. However, in actuality and in my opinion, this isn't what is being done here. The focus, instead, has been put on padding, with random puzzles that only slow players down, to new monster encounters with characters that are neither part of the original cast o…

Can't say much about it right now as it's still in progress, but it looks promising so far! For now, I'll be listing all the additions/changes I've taken note of: [b]Close Your Eyes:[/b] Lots of new areas, items, and cutscenes. Some new enemies, too. Several pre-existing areas have been revamped. Some puzzle solutions (such as the train security code) have been changed. You now have choices of "paths" to go down as you progress. The Girl's dialogue is now voiced. Pre-existing voices have been re-dubbed (which you can choose between the old dub at the start of a new save). Text is now color-coded between characters (green for The Host, yellow for Ghastly, purple for The Girl, etc.). Instead of game overs, you now go through "death minigames" which feature a new "candle system" that decreases by one every time you lose (something bad will supposedly happen in the future if all of them go out). 4 new endings will be added; totaling 12 (your route choices and number of remaining candles will likely influence this). [i]Current build ends after the forest area.[/i] [b]Girl's Graveyard:[/b] Rounds have been shortened back down to one level at a time (still drives me up the wall though >…

Close your eyes is a genuinely a immesnsely intresting rpgmaker horror game. A game I have loved over the years now for the unnerving nature and twtisted story it unravels, and now with this recent major update I'm excited to delve into that world once more. If you have some spare money and want a good time, I suggest you buy some Yai games and play with some friends in a discord call. You won't regret it. Keep making your silly little games, love Boohoo

Almost 3 years on Steam, has gotten no update ever. Yai Delayworks full force. EDIT It got actually updated to my surprise, Im not sure if my review was a working hand in this or just a timely coincidence. The content didnt seem disappointing, altho quite lackluster for a 3 year hiatus. Anyway, Im a man of my word, so up that thumb goes.

10/10 would let it trigger my ptsd again (seriously tho, love the game)
