Before Your Eyes, 2021, goodbyeworld Games
A first-person interactive short story where you live an entire life, from birth to death, and make decisions big and small that shape the outcome of that life.

The game uses your webcam to track your eyes in real life, so every time you blink, you skip forward: could be five seconds or five years. Life literally flashes before your eyes as you try desperately to hold onto each fleeting moment.
