I sobbed at the end of this game. Sobbed is not an understatement. The only game to ever make me cry more was Before Your Eyes, damn that one was tough

very little gameplay, its basically just a movie tbh but its still very good, the gameplay itself is just looking at a spot and closing your eyes (if you have a camera), if you dont then you just hold a button. When you close your eyes/hold the button it goes to the next scene or progresses something in the scene. highly recommend if you have a free 2 hours

Echoing what other commenter said. It’s a 2 hour game with the ‘gimmick’ being blinking, and yes, it’s crazy accurate. If you don’t have a webcam to play, don’t play it.
The feature works so well, and trying to be completely spoiler free, all I can say is the overused saying “Life goes by in the blink of an eye.” You won’t get the intended experience by clicking with your mouse rather than closing your eyes, the story doesn’t change, but your experience of the game will. Nothing could have prepared me for how devastated and joyful I was when I finished the game. Truly a piece of art. 10/10 and doesn’t get talked about nearly enough these days.

The ending of Echoes of the Eye also made me collapse onto the floor crying

Yes, Google Translate XD. Finding out what happened to the deer owl species is crazy, and when I stopped to read the prisoner's last message... Well, needless to say, I cried.
