Close Your Eyes [Old Version]

Had this sitting in my library for ages and finally got around to playing it again with the new content. I know I could have played the remake, but I'm into dumpster diving for weird obscure games. I had my fun, even if this game is pretty rough. Just a warning, if you wanna play Girl's Graveyard, prepare to suffer. Level 3-2 is incredibly hard and probably took me an hour to beat.

Close Your Eyes [Old Version] is a small horror experience built around an unsettling concept where I have to rely on my surroundings while dealing with the fear of what I cannot see. The idea immediately creates tension because closing my eyes becomes part of the experience rather than simply being something mentioned in the title. It gives the game a distinctive identity compared with more conventional horror games. The atmosphere is the strongest part for me. The game uses darkness, uncertainty and sound to make ordinary situations feel threatening. I like horror that makes me question what is around me instead of constantly showing me the monster, because imagining what could be nearby can sometimes be more frightening than seeing it directly. Sound design is particularly important. When I cannot rely entirely on visual information, footsteps, noises and changes in the environment become much more significant. I find myself listening carefully and wondering whether a sound is harmless or a warning that something is approaching. The game also benefits from being simple. There are not dozens of complicated mechanics competing for my attention, so the central horror idea stays …

Shockingly good, the audio and soundtrack was amazing and not at all what I expected from this. An interesting story that keeps you pushing through the maze

really good game, i like it and the art in it

It's a pretty alright horror game, not much else. I wouldn't say its a very interesting story or that well made but it is a fine experience that can be forgotten quickly. Decent
