With Eyes Closed

With Eyes Closed - a thriller revolves around a secret that the characters are in no hurry to reveal, and each conversation adds new questions. There are no clues or obvious signs about who is right here: everyone has their own motives, and actions sometimes contradict words. Characters rarely speak directly, so some conclusions have to be drawn from little things: a thrown phrase or a glance. In form, it is a visual novel: text, portraits and choices that determine the course of events. Sometimes the solution seems obvious, but a few scenes later it turns out that everything was wrong, and you have to rethink what you heard. Decisions here are not divided into right and wrong: almost any one leads to consequences that will appear later. A mistake in conversation can cost trust, and being too trusting can lead to danger. The game requires careful reading, since quick answers rarely give good results. Relationships with characters depend on how the hero behaves. Some people respond to directness, others to caution, and the wrong answer closes entire chunks of the story. The atmosphere is gloomy: tension increases gradually, the stakes rise, and the cost of a mistake becomes ever higher. There are enough explicit scenes in the project, so it is intended for adults. Some scenes open only with a certain development of relationships, so for the sake of the full picture it is worth replaying individual segments. The project is short, but dense in text, and it’s easier to complete it in a couple of evenings. For those who like slow stories with intrigue and don't expect convenient hints.
