Before Your Eyes is a 2021 adventure game developed by GoodbyeWorld Games and published by Skybound Games. The title was released on Microsoft Windows on 8 April 2021, with a macOS version following in September of the same year. Android and iOS ports launched in July 2022. This game utilizes eye-tracking technology for its narrative delivery, representing a full realization of the team's earlier work Close Your, which had been funded via Kickstarter.

The gameplay centers on Benjamin Brynn, who has recently passed away and is journeying toward the afterlife. Players engage with Brynn’s recollections using an eye-tracking webcam to advance the story, as the game interprets player eye movements and blinks for interaction. Critics praised the storytelling approach; however, they found the eye-tracking mechanics flawed.
