Close Your Eyes [Old Version] is a small horror experience built around an unsettling concept where I have to rely on my surroundings while dealing with the fear of what I cannot see. The idea immediately creates tension because closing my eyes becomes part of the experience rather than simply being something mentioned in the title. It gives the game a distinctive identity compared with more conventional horror games. The atmosphere is the strongest part for me. The game uses darkness, uncertainty and sound to make ordinary situations feel threatening. I like horror that makes me question what is around me instead of constantly showing me the monster, because imagining what could be nearby can sometimes be more frightening than seeing it directly. Sound design is particularly important. When I cannot rely entirely on visual information, footsteps, noises and changes in the environment become much more significant. I find myself listening carefully and wondering whether a sound is harmless or a warning that something is approaching. The game also benefits from being simple. There are not dozens of complicated mechanics competing for my attention, so the central horror idea stays clear. Exploration and observation are enough to create tension when the game uses them effectively, and the short format makes it easier to maintain the unsettling atmosphere. The biggest weakness is that the central mechanic can become predictable once I understand how it works. The initial uncertainty is effective, but repeated situations can lose some of their impact if there are not enough variations. More environmental changes, unexpected encounters and different uses of the mechanic would make the horror more memorable. The pacing can also be uneven. Horror benefits from slower moments, but if too much time passes without anything changing, the tension can disappear. I would have liked the game to introduce new situations more consistently while still giving me enough quiet moments to build anticipation. The old version naturally feels dated in its presentation. The visuals are not especially detailed, but that can actually help the atmosphere because darker and simpler environments leave more room for my imagination. The sound and lighting therefore matter more than technical graphical quality. Overall, Close Your Eyes [Old Version] is a short and atmospheric horror game with a memorable central idea. I like the use of darkness, sound and uncertainty, and the simple design allows the main concept to remain the focus. The limited variety and dated presentation keep it from being a particularly deep horror experience, but it can still be effective when it catches me off guard. Rating: 7.8/10
Психологический хоррор с упором на атмосферу и звуковое сопровождение. Игрок оказывается в тёмном, загадочном пространстве и должен ориентироваться преимущественно на слух, избегая опасностей и разгадывая головоломки. Ключевая механика — необходимость закрывать глаза, чтобы «увидеть» скрытые элементы мира. Плюсы: Уникальная игровая механика — использование темноты и «закрытых глаз» как инструмента для обнаружения объектов и путей создаёт необычный опыт и меняет восприятие хоррора. Звуковой дизайн — звуки окружения, шаги, шёпоты и фоновые эффекты формируют напряжённую атмосферу и служат основным источником информации о происходящем. Минималистичная эстетика — отсутствие избыточной графики усиливает эффект погружения: воображение дорисовывает детали, усиливая страх. Минусы: Ограниченная интерактивность — геймплей сводится к перемещению и активации редких механик, что может показаться монотонным после первых часов. Высокая зависимость от звука — без наушников или качественной акустики теряется значительная часть атмосферы и подсказок, критически важных для прогресса. Неоднозначные головоломки — некоторые задачи требуют нестандартного мышления или случайных проб, что вызывает фрустрацию при повторных неудачах. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам атмосферных хорроров и экспериментальных проектов, кто ценит нестандартные механики и готов полагаться на слух больше, чем на зрение. Close Your Eyes [Old Version] запомнится оригинальной идеей и звуковым погружением, но может разочаровать из‑за скудной интерактивности и сложности головоломок без чётких подсказок.
Psikolojik korku ve gizem sevenler için ilginç bir deneyim. Gerilim dolu atmosferi ve sürreal yapısıyla merak uyandırıyor. Ancak bu eski versiyon, daha iyi bir deneyim için yeni sürümü tercih edilebilir.

Shockingly good, the audio and soundtrack was amazing and not at all what I expected from this. An interesting story that keeps you pushing through the maze
