ːsteamthisːːsteamthisːːsteamthisː We've been working on this follow-up game for over three years, and we're super excited (and nervous) to share this slice of it with you all today. Hearing the reactions you all had to Before Your Eyes is what inspired us to make Goodnight Universe, so we cannot wait to hear what you think.
Even though it's a completely new story (about a psychic baby), it shares a lot in common with Before Your Eyes. It's a story about the struggles of being different, finding your home, and living your truth. In the demo you'll get to:
Meet your family
Discover your psychic powers
Secretly do chores with telekinesis to help out
Meet Gilbert the Goat (??)
Hopefully you won't, but if you run into bugs in the demo, we’d love to know. Please share via the Discord server or email us at [email protected]
And please help boost our spot in the algorithm with a Steam review...they're super helpful so we seriously appreciate all of you who take the time to leave one (and we know from experience, nobody writes a better Steam review than a BYE fan). ːsteamthumbsupːːsteamthumbsdownː
We appreciate you!
Stay tuned...

Hey everyone,
first of all, thank you for being here with us and all your feedback we've gotten so far. We love hearing your opinions on the game and the experience you had with Before Your Eyes, so keep them coming!
We try to read all your posts on the forum and help out on the spot while taking notes for the patching work we do.
The first patch is now live and here's the list of changes it includes:
GRAPHICS – there was an issue with the game’s visuals appearing blurry for some players on lower spec PC's. After the patch, BYE should run with higher FPS and without blurriness on a bigger amount of lower or below-minimum spec machines. That said, if playing on a low spec computer, it is still important to use the lowest graphics settings, and lower resolution settings, in order to have a smooth experience.
QUALITY OF LIFE – we heard you when you said the “the “non-detection” mode and “on-screen camera feed” feature were not as easily accessible as they could be.. We’ve changed that and both modes can now be toggled in the main menu.
QUALITY OF LIFE – we’ve added a new chapter point towards the end of the game, titled "Pain."
OTHER CHANGES:

Black screens on low spec machines should no longer occur
More cameras should now be more easily detected and used
Addressed the reported Steam achievement issues
Include webcam overlay during credits
Other minor changes and fixes
Thank you for being here with us and your amazing support!
