Their Eyes
is a short top-down Survival Horror game by black_and_noir. You play as a man who has forgotten who he is or what he is doing, but has ended up in the town of Lockwood, which is overrun by monsters, brought here by a mysterious cult leader known only as The Stranger. You have 30 minutes to discover what is going on and hopefully escape with your life.
This game contains examples of:
- 1-Up: The Creepy Dolls lying around in Lockwood. Each one brings you back if you die, but you can only carry one at a time.
- Apocalyptic Log: Various logs are strewn around from the citizens of Lockwood as they fell prey to the monsters.
- Back Stab: Shooting or hitting monsters while they are turned away from you deals more damage, often killing them instantly, and is a better tactic at dealing with them than fighting head-on, especially with the limited bullets typical for a survival horror.
- Big Bad: The Stranger is the cult leader who brought the monsters to Lockwood, and a part of the protagonist's soul who split off from him when he wanted to stop doing evil.
- Creepy Doll: You can find a few strange dolls in various areas of Lockwood, which serve as 1-Up items and mysteriously vanish if you die.
- Non-Standard Game Over: If 30 minutes pass, you are turned into another monster.
- Timed Mission: You have 30 minutes to escape the town and save it. If time runs out, you will turn into a monster yourself.
- When Trees Attack: One of the monsters is a living tree that will chase you down if you get too close to it.
