A fun little game where you play as a baby, and absolutely nothing else. You definitely won't cry while playing this video game.
I played Before Your Eyes years ago and it inspired me to start making games myself. While I do still like Before Your Eyes a bit better, this game has once again reached the upper echelon of immersion, emotion, and storytelling. I cannot wait to see what Goodbye World games and Nice Dream create Next.
Goodnight universe has a fantastic story telling and the game is adorable and heartwarming. I used the camera and i think it adds to the experience. I ended up crying towards the end of the game. I do have 2 complaints that i do see common with alot of games that i played in the last few years. Its very easy although it is more focused on the story, which is fine just not my preference. The other complaint is that if you do mess up as a player, you are taking back just a few seconds ago without any penalties. I really enjoyed the game and the story and the use of the face tracking on the camera. The 2 issues i had decreased the replay value for me
