Just wow. This game is so amazing words cant describe how well and detailed this game is. Finished the game in tears, I hope the creators know how astonishing their game is. Not even a game, this story was top tier ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2026-06-08, version 1.2.69* Literally brought me to tears. I am speechless. One of the most down to earth and best games I have played in a really long time. 100% recommend to everyone ### 5/5 — Just absolutely amazing. *2026-05-25, version 1.2.69* I get emotional a lot when I watch sad movies, and stuff that make me cry, but this was next level. I didn’t expect it to actually make me cry this much that it did and the voice acting in. It is amazing. I just love this game so much that I even tried writing a book about it. More people should know about this game. It’s a literal masterpiece. I just don’t know what to say. you can create something like this on Roblox. ### 4/5 — So sad *2026-05-21, version 1.2.69* I played this game, it was a sad experience but I liked it! Would play it again 🩷 ### 5/5 — Just.. try it *2026-05-09, version 1.2.69* This experience was moving to say the least. It really makes you think about your choices though out life… ### 5/5 — Masterpeice *2026-05-05, version 1.2.69* This game is soo good that I had to review after playing it late ### 5/5 — I love this game so much. *2026-04-29, version 1.2.69* I’ve passed by this game so many times scrolling looking for a new one, then I downloaded this one. I would’ve never expected it to be how it turned out. This game is absolutely beautiful and emotional. I would definitely recommend to play. ### 5/5 — 10/10 would not recommend *2026-04-21, version 1.2.69* I sobbed for hours this is possibly the most beautiful well written masterpiece I’ve ever been lucky enough to see I am covered in snot and tears this game broke me and I would do it all over gain in a heartbeat ### 5/5 — pack tissues *2026-04-21, version 1.2.69* i bawled my eyes out and thought it was over only to find out i had to go through life again and bawled even more at the end. truly changing and i will play this game again!! it's like a movie so lock in and enjoy!! 10/10 ### 4/5 — Amazing but the blinking *2026-04-06, version 1.2.69* I understand that you have put in place a way to use the game without eye detection but if you use a mobile device you can’t switch between the cameras and so it will you the back camera, it’s just a bit sad because it would be such a nicer experience to actually have the main feature of the game. ### 5/5 — Wow… just wow *2026-04-05, version 1.2.69* I’m not someone who cries when I watch a sad movie, I don’t usually feel the need to express emotion towards something that hasn’t really happened. I cried a ton when I completed this story. The story is so immersive, it was like I wasn’t really playing a game. The characters are portrayed so beautifully, each written the perfect way to portray the perspective of the storyteller. I look forward to new projects by this team (if there are any) and I am honestly just so grateful to them. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-24, version 1.2.69* Just, amazing. ### 5/5 — That was incredible *2026-03-06, version 1.2.69* I have never written a review for an app but WOW! I sobbed like a baby but that was wonderful. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — incredible. *2026-03-06, version 1.2.69* i never leave reviews, but this one deserves it. it was BEAUTIFUL. made me cry. if you have a netflix subscription, check it out. you’ll be glad you did. ### 5/5 — Impactful *2026-03-05, version 1.2.69* Genuinely thought provoking and deeply emotional ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn't Work Somehow? *2026-05-08, version 1.2.69* Camera faced wrong way, no way to turn it around. ### 1/5 — camera doesn’t work *2026-04-11, version 1.2.69* I enabled my camera. Sometimes it takes a single picture of my face, and sometimes it just shows a grey screen. Don’t know what’s wrong nothing will help me. ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-03-25, version 1.2.69* The eye controls only work half the time and disconnects at the worst time possible ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-02-01, version 1.2.69* There’s no sound in my game whatsoever??? This is unbelievable ### 1/5 — It broke on me *2026-01-07, version 1.2.69* The app just shut down and exited to home page for no reason ### 1/5 — App is incompatible with iPad Pro *2026-01-07, version 1.2.69* *Dear Lobbyists*, our data needs to appear only if these games or apps are kept ( installed) for more than 48 hours. It feels like a data grab at this point that SO many do not perform as promised. Issues aren’t corrected because the objective seems to be grabbing the data and running to sell it. I tried troubleshooting with Apple, YouTube vids, etc for the better part of 35 minutes. This app forces use of your rear camera which is incompatible with the game. You need to watch the screen AND blink for the intended experience. The app doesn’t allow for that. Many people on Reddit report the same issue, so perhaps some of the negative reviews are removed here. Using the game without that is pointless and excruciatingly mundane. ### 1/5 — Not for me *2025-12-30, version 1.2.69* The design and storyline is bad ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad *2025-12-23, version 1.2.69* Really disappointed this didn’t work on my iPad. Calibration worked fine, but it wouldn’t progress beyond “This is a game about blinking” ### 1/5 — Sound *2025-11-30, version 1.2.69* There is no sound ### 1/5 — This game is busted 😤 *2025-08-24, version 1.2.69* My iPad too old for before your eyes is disconnected game for the iPad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-05, version 1.2.69* It’s a amazing game I loved it and it made me cry ### 5/5 — This is Peak🥹 *2026-07-22, version 1.2.69* I’ve never cried to a mobile game. True story telling is top notch, and the way they tell it makes it depressing. I cried in the final moments often the game, it was so good. It hit really hard. Idk if they have goodnight universe on a mobile port I can’t find it but that’s also really good made by the same team ### 5/5 — Life changing *2026-07-22, version 1.2.69* Changed the way I see life. How fast or slow we choose to live it— gives a new perspective. 5/5 because every aspect of this experience is worth it. ### 5/5 — The Most Beautiful Game I've Ever Played. *2026-07-21, version 1.2.69* This beautiful work of art is one of the very few games I've cried for. The art style of the game is so simple, and yet still so detailed, is gorgeous. The story itself had me crying by the end of it, heartbroken for people who relate to it and loving the lesson taught to me. At first, I thought it was going to be a game I just played once and went on with my day. But this story has left an impact on my conscious, leaving me to reflect on it for days now. May whoever relates to this piece of art find their own peace, God bless ❤️ ### 5/5 — wow *2026-07-16, version 1.2.69* this game was a main. absolutely beautiful. i’ve never played a game as interactive and that made the game so much deeper. what an amazing story. really touched my heart ### 5/5 — Masterpiece *2026-07-07, version 1.2.69* Great game and love the emotion they put us through!! ### 5/5 — i want to cry *2026-06-25, version 1.2.69* such a beautiful game, i played it while i was at work and had to fight back tears at the end. wow just amazing ### 5/5 — Emotional *2026-06-21* Definitely play this game man stop everything and complete this game for sure you will see life with another perspective **Developer response:** Hi there, we truly value the positive feedback!
