the fact that they made a game that let you close your eyes and fufill your own desires was amazing but YOU STILL HAD TO KEEP GOING! the story telling combined with the jump scares is so well done 10/10 game.
*The gameplay mechanic of opening and closing your eyes is used in an original (and terrifying ) way that was even used for navigation puzzles.
*Polished graphics and a few scenes with different art styles.
*Some simple but well thought out "find the code" challenges.
*A story that can AND NEEDS to be expanded on. (sequel time?)
*Awesome huge Spookey Statues ٩(º౪º๑)۶
*At times it had a unique feeling that a haunted house gives you that's hard to describe. This developer has a made and distinguishable style and I love it.
Linux player here. First let me say that what I was able to play properly was absolutely brilliant, atmospheric, unique, and genuinely horrifying. However, the Linux version definitely needs some work. I'm not sure if it's a dependancy issue or something, but certain transitions will not load, leaving the player in a black screen.
The first instance of this occurs i nthe VIEW facility at the start, after the "facility unstable" sign and the player gets attacked by big dress lady (no idea what to call them lol). From what I've seen on Youtube, what ought to occur here is transportation to some other realm after a static transition. Instead I am left in a black screen. I can move forward blindly (eyes open or closed, still can't see), to get to the next area, but this issue persists. The green eye upstairs that hints the player on what to do appears to use the same transition, and this time leaves you completely stranded in a black screen, no audio, and no return to the gameworld.
This renders the game practically unplayable after escaping the husk in the elevator, as I presume a "green eye" is needed for the hint to unlock the combination for the door. Now I could brute force it as there are only 1000 possible keys with no timeout, but I really shouldn't have to.
Furthermore, the shellscript to boot the game appears to create the following filepath for the games .uproject file:
../../../CloseYourEyes/CloseYourEyes.uproject
I'm no expert at shellscript, but from what I can tell, I believe this filepath references the "CloseYourEyes" directory which has the "Content" folder in it. In this directory there is no uproject file. I ran 'sudo find / -iname *.uproject', and only found a reference to a different game on my entire system. In the Content folder one finds mp4 files, likely the transitions, so it's my guess that if this file is missing, then the game has no file to point you to, and you're left at a black screen. I could be wrong though. I am also yet to test the game on other distros, though I just might to see if that's the issue.
Played this yesterday on stream and I cannot compliment the dev enough. I think every aspect of this was perfectly executed. This really embodies the artistry of indie game development and I feel lucky to have played it. Amazing work.
The game was PHENOMENAL. Perfect mixture of puzzle solving, scary but not being in your face, as well as a pinch of sillyness. I loved it. Here is my video playing it to almost entrety (only got one ending). 10/10 for short itch.io indie games.
Hello, I tried this game out for a video. It was not bad, I liked the game mechanic. But I have to admit. At one point I guess I was just to dumb to figure out how to continue. Still, pretty good game.
That was a super unique experience. At first I thought the entire game was going to take place in the facility, but the variety of different environments ranging from tunnels to abstract noise art realms really surprised me, and it made the entire game feel like a grand adventure.
One thing I did find confusing at first was the stuff you see when you close your eyes, I originally thought it was just mental cues you remember from the rooms, but then you could see through walls and not even see or recognize the things that obviously made a lot of sound. Later in the game of course it was a lot more clearer, but I do feel like explaining it near the start of the game could be beneficial.
Aside from that, I loved the game. It had a variety of environments, puzzles, and damn stressful chase sequences which felt very rewarding to beat. Congrats on the game!
This game was awesome! We liked the concept idea, the story and the gameplay! We also find all the endings in this one! You did an amazing job! Keep it up!

Here are my system specs if that helps:
Thanks for this report, I will look into it.
This game was really good! Can’t say I 100% understand the story, but sill enjoyed the gameplay and visuals! Got all the endings, too!
this game was really cool! I liked it a lot. puzzle solving and exploration / creatures trying to get you... what more could you ask for :D
Can't start the game without Oculus starting it in VR. Has made it completely unplayable normally.
It was a really nice game, I have more expectations from this producer, I wish you continued success :)
Also, I would love to see a new game from this producer.

bro imagine all the sorts of secret information blind people are getting in the world rn
Close Your Eyes is a puzzle horror game where u only rely on your eyes to survive
The game does not work for me!
What is so hard about pointing out that it is a 64 bit game?
what game engine you use?
i think they used unreal engine 4
Hey, I’m an amateur developer looking for work, and to gain some experience in the industry. Are you by chance looking to hire for future projects?
Currently, no. But I appreciate the offer. Good luck with your job search!
Markiplier played your game!
It was very interesting. A mysterious view of the world.

This was a really creative game, some great scary and tense parts! Really high quality. I had a lot of fun streaming it.
i really enjoyed playing this game and i liked the mechanics and the atmosphere was good was definitely creepy
Question: everytime I launch the game, it automatically opens the Oculus app, can you play the game in VR as well?
It was a pretty good game! Me and my cousins loved it!!
