GoodbyeWorld games first gained international notice with the release of Close Your, winner of the IGF Best Student Game Award in 2015. Now the team is preparing to launch the full-length follow-up, Before Your Eyes, next month on April 9.

This afterlife adventure promises that it can be navigated using real-life blinks. Players embark upon a thought-provoking journey with the Ferryman who is tasked with shepherding souls to the afterlife. They move through time by using real-world blinking to interact and progress through the story.

How does this work exactly? The official press release from the development team explains.

  I had to read the headline 3 times to make sure it wasn't "bink" the video codec and I'm wondering what that has to do with a game like this.
