About This Game Five years after the original Ludum Dare game and over 3 & a half years since the Steam release, Close Your Eyes returns for its 5-year anniversary with a complete remake. The remake has been redone from the ground up, capturing the ominous feel of the original but with a ton of brand new content, an updated look, various alterations and additions, and a plethora of bonus modes and goodies.Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- includes:Close Your Eyes: The uprising cult hit about an adorable murderer bound by their past, brought into question by a strange game show host, returns in a brand new way! Completely remade from the ground up, it includes new locations, brand new threats, extended story, 10 possible endings, and a delve into an atmospheric abyss that may linger with you long after you beat it.Girl's Graveyard: The predecessor to Close Your Eyes has also been remade and included! The maddening arcade-styled game about a girl collecting candy for her beloved includes new scenes and greater darker depths. There may be more than sweet things to find behind the facade...Close Your Eyes - Beneath the Surface: A brand new scenario where Marshmallow Monk must dig deep to find a hidden truth... Explore a strange explorable urban setting for a chilling experience that may leave you sinking into the murkiness of an unseen horror.Close Your Eyes Anniversary Mode: A brand new mode which remixes Close Your Eyes with even more new scenes, challenges, and an extended story. Unlike the main game, there's only one ending to achieve in Anniversary Mode, but the route to that ending is unlike anything you've experienced before.Girl's Graveyard Challenge Mode: Are you a masochist? Taking place after the events of Girl's Graveyard as a sequel of sorts, Challenge Mode is not for the weak of heart. Can you overcome all odds and reach the shocking finale?Three Other Bonus Modes: There's even more to experience between three bonus shorter modes to unlock, "The Twisted Puzzle", "Hushed Hour" and "A Ghastly Tale".Unlock the Secrets of the Annex: As you make progress in all of the game modes, you will begin to unlock more content in a new hub world known as the Annex. The Annex holds many secrets...You're a murderer, we all know it, but do you think you are? 1075eedd30 Title: Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake-Genre: Adventure, Indie, Early AccessDeveloper:Yai GameworksPublisher:Yai GameworksFranchise:Close Your EyesRelease Date: 21 Dec, 2018 Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- Download Nosteam close your eyes anniversary remake I loved the other developer's games, although the repetitiveness of tasks can be tedious. However this anniversary update is terrible. I bought this in April 2019 & it says expect updates in Feb 2019. It also says "Close your eyes" in this version is unfinished and all but the incredibly repetitive and difficult Girl Graveyard game are available, the rest of the content says "coming soon".So not sure how this can be recommended or get good reviews from what I've experienced.. This was so much fun! The main game was adorable yet scary. The dark theme's and overall scary atmosphere made it much more fun to play through unlike some other games I have played. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good indie horror game!. I have never actually written a game review before, but I am willing to give it a shot if it means more people get to experience this game. I feel like this game serves as a great introduction into the Yai Gameworks games, or into RPG horror games in general. Nothing is too intense that the game can't be beaten (except maybe Girl's Graveyard, which was super rough but an equal amount challenging) and many of the game's scares are psychological and rely on building the right atmosphere, as opposed to cheap jumpscares for the sake of cheap jumpscares. The story is engaging and surreal, making it an interesting game to play and formulate your own theories for afterwards. The gameplay itself is a nice mix between exploration and puzzles and it rotates between them enough to keep your play through interesting.When comparing this to the original, I am extremely excited for the new content yet to be released. This was my first time playing Girl's Graveyard, but I have played through the original Close Your Eyes before the remake's release. I enjoyed the improved sprites and visuals, like the glowing eye on dialogue boxes instead of the default RPG Maker arrow and the personalized colors for each character's dialogue. The orginal music is great as always, and some of the added sound effects were a great touch, such as the piano note when saving (which I believe is new compared to the original). If I could suggest a change, I think it would be interesting if instead of having all of the songs unlocked in the Annex at once, have them gradually unlockable when the player completes a specific task or as they appear in-game.Overall, it's a great game that's worth the price, and I am eagerly awaiting the content yet to come.. I loved the other developer's games, although the repetitiveness of tasks can be tedious. However this anniversary update is terrible. I bought this in April 2019 & it says expect updates in Feb 2019.

This game leaves a sour taste in my mouth, because it's so repetitive and redundant, Whatever meaning was meant to be here is only what we believe, but we're made to believe there is "an answer" when this is all just a giant social experiment for the sake of getting money. It was popular at first, when there were fewer games for free, and then, I thought I understood it. No, all of the meaning you see here is a farse. The whole game you're told "closer your eyes" but it's like, what will that do, suddenly change the graphics quality and make the game more interesting? No, no more BS fetch quests with boring puzzles with a plot with so little substance, that alone makes it scary. It seems like it was made by a kid playing with paint/gimp and rpg maker. On the positive side, the artwork by Rincs, the artist for the pretty pictures, looks amazing. And some of the sound cloud stuff was pretty good.. This was so much fun! The main game was adorable yet scary. The dark theme's and overall scary atmosphere made it much more fun to play through unlike some other games I have played. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good indie horror game!. If you're on mac, its definitely not something to look into. Updates are rare and mac users are unable to play past a glitch following the first puzzle at the start of the game (an issue that was acknowledged, but never resolved). The quick discussion reply was appreciated wholeheartedly, but it was never acted on, and i'm unable to get a refund because of it. The actual game looks great, i'm sure it has an amazing plot and adventure to it, just sad I probably wont be playing it for a long, long while.. This was so much fun!

Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- releasing on November 26th: https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes_Anniversary_Remake/I'm trying to schedule out some stuff right now after some unexpected life bumps like the passing of my best friend and a family situation, and not announcing anything else yet as it's not ready enough to put an exact date on (Game 3 of FHG11.exe, Red Haze update, Arctic Haze, etc.), but there's something I can put a date on right now.Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- will be releasing on Steam on November 26th in Early Access for $4.99 USD (with a 5% launch discount and a further 5% off with the Yai Gameworks Complete Bundle).The Early Access form will on release include:-The complete remake of Close Your Eyes, with brand new areas, scenes, characters, reimagined segments, and more surprises with a total of 10 endings to obtain.-The complete remake of Girl's Graveyard, the precursor to CYE which also features some new scenes, story beats, and details.-The Twisted Puzzle expansion, it's identical to the DLC from the original game with one addition I won't spoil, but it is included on launch.The game is gunning to release out of Early Access on April 29th, 2019, though more modes will be added over time, I'll be taking player feedback and asking direct questions to Early Access players for development, and the price will increase a couple times before release as more is added.What will be added in the coming months, with an update every month or two, is the "Close Your Eyes: Anniversary Mode", "Girl's Graveyard Hard Mode", the brand new scenario, "Close Your Eyes - Beneath the Surface", two miniature side modes in "Close Your Eyes: Hushed Hour" and "Close Your Eyes: A Ghastly Tale", and a fully explorable hub area between game modes known as The Annex.I can 100% guarantee unless my house gets destroyed by fire or something, it'll be releasing on November 26th.

Version 0.11 now available: Version 0.11 now is available. This is an accumulation of small bug fixes and typo corrections since Early Access launch, as well as an additional 5-10 minutes added to Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- after the last stopping point, marking the beginning of the Judith Manor section of the game.There is too much to name of what's been fixed, but a few of the most notable changes:-First small bit of Judith Manor in the Close Your Eyes remake is now available.-All currently available achievements should be fixed and working on Windows.-Adjusted the difficulty in various small sequences of Girl's Graveyard, such as the "Blob" room in "Darkness" now doesn't get quite so dark, nor as quickly anymore.-Lots of typos and bugs fixed.-Performance should be a slight bit better for those with medium-weaker computers, but it probably won't be that noticeable.I am a project juggler and so going to be crunching on some other projects before the next update in February, though the next update should extend the game up until a bit after the famous "Pancake" scene from the original game. Hope you guys look forward to it!. 25 Minutes of Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SKNKOCGKHwhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes_Anniversary_Remake/The game will be releasing in Early Access (but including the full remakes of Close Your Eyes and Girl's Graveyard on release with more game modes added over time) on August 31st, 2018 for $4.99 USD.
