If I could give Beyond Eyes more stars, I would. Rarely does a character emotion become so pronounced in my own being. When Rae was delighted, I’d laugh with excitement. When Rae was scared, I cowered alongside her. When Rae was upset I was quite literally found sobbing in the fetal position until the wave of emotion passed.
Beyond Eyes isn’t going to take longer than a few hours for anyone to complete and the price doesn’t quite reflect the brevity of the experience.

Yes, this game is "Pretty" and "Creative" but if you ignore those things, this game is just bad. I played for about half an hour and I couldn't go on.

This game looks amazing, thanks to the beautiful artwork. It also offers a nice experience with the tale of a blind girl searching for a red cat. However, it's all a bit too simple.
Beyond Eyes has to be commended for expressing a complicated idea so well and in such a unique way. It's almost worth experiencing just for that aspect alone. Unfortunately, as a high-concept empathy game that overrelies on the concept, it doesn't manage to move past its own cleverness.
An interesting idea that is not well executed and is boring to play, despite its beautiful art.
Despite its excellent graphics and animations, Beyond Eyes is just a piece of software; one that feels more like a technical demo than a game, properly speaking.
We didn't expect much from Beyond Eyes and the short two hours we needed to complete the game proved us right. From an artistic point of view, the game is quite seducing but there are so few things to do there that it quickly becomes boring.
It looks cute and the story was intriguing but the slow paced killed me. I played this for an hour and I simply cannot play it anymore. The only reason you really need to play this is you can finish it and earn all the achievement in around three to four hours which would be a lot quicker if it doesn't take Rae 15 minutes to get from one side of the bridge to the other.. This and Overruled! serve as massive stains in Team 17's library.

OMG this is, by far, the worst game I have ever played in my entire life. And I played the original Atari 2600 ET game, so I don't say this lightly. At least ET could walk relatively fast. Basically all you do in this game is walk. SLOWLY. You walk SO SLOWLY in random directions, eventually reaching the current objective (whether it be a gate, a bridge, a crosswalk, some butterflies, etc.). In fact watch any youtube video of it, they speed the game up 400% just so viewers won't gouge their eyes out watching.
I'm convinced any positive reviews of this game is the latest version of "Rick Rolling" somebody. I've renamed this tactic "Rae Rolling" (the girls name in the game). It goes like this. Person 1: "Hey man, just played this awesome new game Beyond Eyes. You should play it!" Person 2: "Cool. Looks interesting. Heres my $15....WHAT THE?!?!?!?!" Person 1: "AHAHAHAH!! Rae Rolled!!!"
In fact the latest way I like to annoy my family is to walk around the house as slow as I can, occasionally yelling out "Nani!" Believe me, drives my family crazy just like it drove me crazy playing this game.
And no, there is no surprise ending. Ending is obvious I knew how it would end midway through the game (not "spoiling" it but it is obvious). Whatever you do, do not play this game if you value your sanity. Or, maybe I'll be hip and Rae Roll you. Go ahead and play! It's AWESEOME!!!

Summary Beyond eyes shows you the imaginative world of Rae, a 10 year-old girl, as she ventures outside her familiar surroundings in search of a fat cat named Nani. Rae isn't like most other girls. She lost her eyesight in an accident with fireworks when she was just a toddler and the experience left her traumatized. Fearing loud noises and pu...
