One of the biggest complaints about the game is how slowly Rae moves around the world and I completely understand the frustration. Rae is on a mission to locate Nani and does this by using her ability to hear and smell, it’s an interesting game mechanic but one that I feel is underutilized and could have been expanded on much more. As she moves around, further details appear in bright, vivid colours it’s undeniably beautiful. The world around Rae initially appears completely white like a blank canvas. While the storyline is simple and not to mention extremely short, I found myself engaged enough to finish the game and reach its sad conclusion. The simple storyline alone is guaranteed to get some kind of emotional reaction out of players and I do feel it succeeds quite well in that department. Rae slowly and I mean slowly makes her way around the world in an attempt to find her lost cat, Nani. The idea of controlling a character that was blind as she began a journey to locate a lost friend in an unseen world sounded genuinely unique, what went wrong?īeyond Eyes has a simple narrative, you play as a young girl named Rae who sadly lost her ability to see after an accident involving fireworks.

Since it was announced at E3 2015, Beyond Eyes immediately grabbed my attention with its beautiful, water painting esque artsyle. Sometimes video games offer a lot in concept and then it all leads to very little in execution unfortunately this is the case with Beyond Eyes.
