If you aren’t familiar with Before Your Eyes, the game initially launched on PC
in 2021 and is now a wholly unique VR experience controlled simply through the
blink of an eye. Players begin their journey in the company of The Ferryman,
tasked with locating souls and transporting them to the afterlife in an
emotional journey that combines a voice-acted story with an innovative blinking
mechanic. Following its PC launch, the ground-breaking PlayStation VR2
technology now allows players to more fully immerse themselves in this
unparalleled gaming experience.

Without a doubt, Before Your Eyes is proof of why compelling storytelling and
experiential innovation in games matters and is another huge win for the 5th
Planet Games and Skybound partnership!
