"There aren't many games I recommend as wholeheartedly as . GoodbyeWorld Games' brisk, beautiful narrative adventure game is a devastating, cathartic, and clever project that rolls a lifetime's worth of ups and downs into its quick 90-minute play time. Its eye-tracking control scheme is one of the most meaningfully frustrating ones I've experienced, as it skips through entire segments of its story every time your webcam sees you blink."
"The new release is the story of a baby named Isaac who, somehow, has adult-level intelligence, though he can't communicate that to his frazzled mother, spritely sister, and suspiciously chill father. But because he has an adult's intuition, he can observe all the chaos of their lives and try his best to be a helpful son and brother. Sometimes that takes the form of just being a chill baby who isn't causing trouble; at other times, he gets a bit more hands-on."
Goodnight Universe is a roughly three-and-a-half-hour narrative adventure centered on Isaac, a baby with adult-level intelligence and psychic powers. Isaac cannot communicate his intellect, so he observes and tries to help his frazzled mother, spritely sister, and unusually relaxed father. Blinking, detected by the webcam, activates Isaac's psychic abilities and functions as a gameplay button. Blinks can shut down machinery, tidy a bedroom, and, when combined with closing the eyes and turning the head, allow Isaac to hear his family's worried thoughts. The game retains a sentimental tone and more overt mechanics compared with its predecessor, expanding a concise idea into a longer, sometimes overstretched experience.
