Our take on Cover Your Eyes
Its focus on a family’s escape gives the horror a personal angle, but that emphasis leaves less room for broad survival-system experimentation. Resource decisions and combat support the journey rather than defining a larger crafting sandbox.
What is Cover Your Eyes?
Cover Your Eyes is a 16-bit survival horror game about Chloe, a mother searching for her missing husband after a supernatural catastrophe transforms the town of Verwood.
She travels with her two children while investigating the disaster and facing monsters and otherworldly forces. Progress combines combat, escape sequences, puzzles, and decisions about when to use limited shotgun ammunition. Players also loot and manage supplies during the journey. The story focuses on family and the sacrifices Chloe makes to keep her children safe. The game asks players to reunite the family, uncover who or what caused the disaster, think through conundrums, and keep watch for the house cat as Verwood changes.
