I Thought The Premise Was A Bit Gimmicky………..
I downloaded this out of curiosity as I thought the whole ‘blink’ thing was a gimmick. Turns out it’s a brilliant part of the gameplay. I would advise playing it in the privacy of your own home, unless you like strangers on public transport seeing you weeping into your phone. Beautiful game. Download it.

amazing
this is so beautiful and raw and true. i loved how in depth the characters personalities are and how real this is. amazed by the visuals every tyy img was so perfect
Wow
I saw people saying this game was good so when I say it for free for Netflix users I decided to give it a try and I knew people were saying it was good but if I knew it was this good I would have played it ages ago this game is amazing and the end had me in tears and sobbing uncontrollably if you can you need to play this game.

Omg, Y’all if you haven’t played yet, get a tissue box ready
DAYUM! I was not expecting that. I saw this on Netflix one day and looked on the trailer, I thought was gonna be a fun game and experience, I’m not saying it isn’t though. I absolutely loved it, though it can get emotional. I cried by the part where Eddie (cats name?) comes back thour the window. I love how characters like Chloe, Eddie, Richard(dad I think(), gave an element to the story that once they leave, you want them back. I liked how we as the player controls the game simple just by batting an eyelid, it’s really fun. The plot, OMG, it’s amazing!!! I think what it’s trying to tell us is that life flashes before your eyes or live life to the fullest, sort of like one of my favourite quotes: Dream like you live forever, live like you die today - idk
There better be a part 2, maybe even a different person, a girl maybe? Idk but if your playing this for the first time, a word of advice, prepare a tissue box..

A must play!
Seriously, one of the most captivating stories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I was absolutely bawling by the end of the game but I don't regret a single second. If you see this review, please do yourself the favor of downloading this game and stick with it till the end. You will not be disappointed.

Sobbing like a big baby
Never thought a game on my phone could make me ugly cry, but here we are. Interesting concept, beautiful heart wrenching story told in a unique way.
As an adult now, I can understand both perspectives; the parents’ and the child’s. As someone with far too many similarities to Benny, this story struck a nerve.
Minus a star because the blinking mechanism didn’t seem to work properly at times, like when trying to answer the phone but time skipped forward instead. It could be very finicky. Also a lot of the story gets missed if you’re unable to refrain from blinking for long periods of time. Wish there was a way to see all the parts I missed. Beautifully captures life; and the loss of it.

Thank You
I want to thank the authors for this beautiful piece of art. This is more of a story than a game. It speaks highly of the emotional intelligence of the authors. I cried partly die to sadness but mostly because I was moved. The game simplifies life choices and made it very clear to me I have been too focused on my career. It is unvelievable that someone found a way to summarize life so eloquently, in a way that made me rethink my own. I want to thank the authors for being so thoughtful in making this art.

so moving
the plot was incredible and so emotional, excellently capturing the range of human emotion and seeing the world through the eyes of a child. it encapsulates the feeing of nostalgia so well, it made me feel like i WAS benjamin brynn. though the wolf howling every now and then sort of ruined the vibe, it was a really good game. i finished it after just an hour or so of playing and it’s great if you just want to sit back and play something meaningful.

Awesome experience
This game was an emotional rollercoaster. Having your eyes guide you throughout the game made the experience personal. It’s about how the life you live doesn’t have to be great to be proud of it. Your ordinary experiences like playing piano with your mom, getting a pet, and your first love all makeup who you are and that’s enough. It’s a beautiful message about being yourself and being happy with the life you have lived. Yes it was difficult at times to have your eyes open for long and sometimes you would skip scenes if you didn’t hold your eyes open. But that’s the point. Memory isn’t perfect. There are things that are harder to remember because of the emotional connection you have with said memory. That’s what makes it real. Also, how we tend to underestimate our lives. Every second counts because you are alive. I felt very connected with the character, and I’m sure everyone can, because it shows how quickly time does pass by.
