Our take on Eyes Over Us
The game replaces direct character control with indirect manipulation. Its central figure watches two subjects and changes their minds and bodies through suffering, making observation and experimentation the main strategic activities instead of movement, combat orders, or resource management.
What is Eyes Over Us?
Play as a Lovecraftian entity watching two humans undergo experiments.
Instead of controlling the subjects directly, act on them through pain, suffering, and madness. Changes to their minds affect their bodies as the game unfolds. Procedural generation shapes the experience, while its experimental systems leave mysteries for players to investigate by trying different approaches. Revelations emerge through this process of experimentation. The game presents its world through minimal, eerie rotoscoped animation created with real people who consented to take part. Its central structure combines observation, indirect influence, unsettling transformation, and discovery rather than conventional direct control.
