About

Quiet is the Eyes is a 2D side-scrolling puzzle horror game where you play as a researcher who finds herself at the center of a twisted mystery. All your coworkers are gone and the halls are quiet, except for the pitter-patter of rain on the window. Explore a desolate laboratory as a creature stalks you, always watching. Run and hide as you solve puzzles and learn more about what happened to the facility and its secrets.

Don’t Get Caught!
Beware: the creature outside the window is always near. You can run and hide as the monster stalks you at every moment, but within the laboratory’s walls, no place is truly safe.
Uniquely themed puzzles
Warning: the laboratory has entered lockdown. Put on your lab coat as you explore the different wings of the laboratory, solving mind-bending puzzles to open doors and escape. Don’t forget, the monster is always watching.
Uncover the mysteries
Unauthorized Access: Figure out what's really been going on in the lab and the mysterious experiments they have been conducting. Will you discover the truth or succumb to the thing that lurks in the halls?

Quiet is the Eyes was created by Ally Guo and Rachel Perry as part of the University of Southern California’s Games program. It was made in collaboration with students at the Berklee College of Music: Ali Tahir, Xiaohe Zhao, and Sophia Drozd. The game aims to explore themes of unpredictability and the unknown—how they evoke apprehension yet bring forth a sense of relief amidst uncertainty.

L'idée du jeu est bonne. On est sur une sorte de jeu d'égnime avec une ambiance angoissante / horreur. Le design en pixel est cool. Cependant le jeu est très court. Environ 15/20 minutes pour le finir (ce qui explique pourquoi il n'y a pas de sauvegarde). Il y a trois puzzles à résoudre qui ne sont pas trop compliquer sauf le deuxième ou j'ai faillit brûler mon cerveau avec les math...
Игра "Quiet is the Eyes" – это завораживающее путешествие в мир тишины и скрытых смыслов. Атмосфера здесь настолько густая, что её можно потрогать. Визуальное исполнение выполнено в приглушенных тонах, что идеально передает ощущение изоляции и таинственности, окутывающее главного героя. Геймплей основывается на исследовании окружения и решении головоломок, которые, на первый взгляд, кажутся простыми, но требуют внимательности к деталям и умения видеть связь между разрозненными элементами. Каждый предмет, каждая надпись несет в себе частичку истории, которую нам предстоит собрать воедино. Сюжет развивается неспешно, подталкивая игрока к самостоятельным выводам и интерпретациям, что делает прохождение по-настоящему личным опытом. Отсутствие прямолинейного повествования поначалу может смутить, но именно в этой недосказанности и кроется главная прелесть игры. "Quiet is the Eyes" – это не просто игра, а медитативный опыт, заставляющий задуматься о внутренних переживаниях и оставляет после себя долгое послевкусие. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет умную и атмосферную игру, способную подарить нечто большее, чем просто развлечение.

I think this game has a very good plot, the controls are easy to figure out, and the ending was decent. However, the math puzzle when you talk to the fossils and you get the clues, I unfortunately could not solve without using the guide. Normally I would just give a lower 6/10 rating for having to use a guide to complete a game, but the level of math knowledge needed to solve that puzzle I felt was quite difficult to the average player, and especially to those who may have a mathematical learning disability. The other puzzles were spot on.
Pretty good little puzzle horror, the artstyle is also quite cute!
[h2]An interesting world deserving of expansion[/h2] It's free, that's the only reason I can really say I'd recommend it, if it wasn't, it'd be far too short to recommend. It's a little puzzle game, it helps to have a physical piece of paper you can write on but it's not necessary or anything, you can figure out the puzzles in your head, but having paper to keep your thoughts organised helps, and I think the game could do with perhaps an in game note system, but for such a short game it'd probably be significantly more effort to just add a good in game notes system than just having a piece of paper and a pencil irl. I was actually really pulled in by this game, the world and what happened is pretty compelling and interests me, the mechanics and puzzles themselves are fine, straightforward, nothing groundbreaking, but I really expected it to ramp up, but sadly it ends so early on, I'd really love to see more to this game, some quality of life features and expansion of the world and story, I mean this game is so short it doesn't even have a pause menu, but I'd really love to see it revisited, remade, and fully realised with significantly more content, this game is too short to leave much of an impact, but it's really interesting in it's premise and makes you want to learn more, it's just unfortunate you don't get to. To the devs: you've made an okay game, but you've got a very solid premise and I think that you can make something great out of this if you want to, and I'd love if you did.
A great little free horror game! Short, sweet, with some decent atmosphere and some simple, but ultimately enjoyable puzzles. Love the art style, love the vibes. Can't wait to see what the devs will do in the future!
cute lil horror game, easy, short, wish it was longer, i liked the puzzles but my brain gor fried lol
Really short but good, if the puzzles where hard and had more I think it could be a really interesting game.
really cute artstyle, but it's super short
Short but pretty intriguing game about one's girl/scientist/introvert story. It have simple gameplay and some puzzles where ya need a skill to remember and count numbers. So, yeah, it's free so everyone can try it. I think I would even glad to pay a little bit cause a game's style is really smooth(music really chill too, ya can play it like some lo fi while studying)
