Eyes Over Us

This is not a game. Don't listen to people that say otherwise. It's an extremely restrictive and read-heavy VN. If you're into that, go for it. I wasted half an hour and got tired of being an observer in a "game."

It's... certainly a bizzare game, I don't even know if you could call it one. The concept is unique and simple, but I feel like there's still something, more like a flair, missing from it. I just hope that there could be a neutral recommendation button since I don't know where my stance here would be lol

Eyes Over Us is an unconventional indie title that deliberately rejects traditional gameplay structures in favor of an abstract, psychological, and deeply unsettling experience. Developed and published by Curse Box Studios, the game places the player in the role of a mysterious, otherworldly observer rather than a direct participant. You are not a hero, commander, or survivor, but an unseen presence exerting influence over two human subjects trapped within a strange experimental framework.

Actions do not always produce immediate or predictable results, and the consequences of …

More than meets the eye. Is a game all about experimentation. Chose some option, and see what happens to the poor victims. A lot of twisted fun to be had.

I was intrigued by the description but not by the gameplay. I played two instances, "losing" the first time and quickly "winning" the second. When I felt no sense of accomplishment for haphazardly "beating" the game the second time I decided to ask for a refund. Sure you can replay it however many times to reach alternative conclusions, but I have no desire to do so.
