The Most Devastating Video Game You’ve Never Played
Obviously this subject matter is heavy and emotional inherently. I mean who wouldn't get sad over a story about children dying young? But it's not just the core content that makes the material so devastating, it's in how it frames how we see versus how we are seen.
At the heart of this game is how we write our own narratives. Living in the moment is hard. And that's partly because moments go so quick. Days go into months, and meaningful interactions with friends and family appear more fleeting. Nights end before you want them to. The morning is never quite long enough.
It's so easy then to look back on your life in the negative. To view it through a lens of imposter syndrome, or focus only on missed opportunities and regret, ignoring the positive impact you've had on the world, and the people around you.
Before Your Eyes is a reminder that what's important isn't what might have happened between the blinks you missed, but enjoying and cherishing everything you saw while you had your eyes open wide.
