Welcome, ladies & gentlemen!
A-ha, how y'all doing? Now, the name of the game is to answer truest to yourself. There's no right and wrong, everyone's a winner! Ooorrr a loser, depending how you think about it. Life is all about perception, you see. Onto the first question!
You're a murderer, we all know it. But do you think you are?
Close Your Eyes is an early 2014 horror game I made for Ludum Dare 29 in two days. While there were elements of the game I liked, there were a lot of problems with it, so I've decided to spend a few more days on it, remove elements and sections I didn't like, cut down on the long 'walking' segments, and add a lot of new content to make it really a whole new game.
Through a stroke of sheer luck, you've managed to escape death row. Taking to an underground subway, you try to find your salvation. Can he break free of the past that binds you, and please, can you close your eyes? Just close them.
All sprites, music, sound effects, and voicing are by myself. Art is by Rincs. If you decide to play, make sure to install the font in the font folder if the text appears off-adjacent with the game window and trails off the screen.

Oh my, happy you're enjoying/enjoyed it.
Hey! I have done a lets play of your (absolutely brilliant) game.
I kinda suck at lets playing 'cause it's one of my first playthrough things but if you want you could check it out here.
I've uploaded two ofthree four parts and put them in a playlist.
(Four because I saw a comment saying there was a way out of the maze thing after you said 'leave' to the girl, and I just got hella lost. And dead.)
I adore your game and am looking forward to seeing what else you make.

I'm happy you enjoyed, and yai, yes there is a second ending. I also appreciate the recording, being able to watch others play is invaluable feedback for me as it allows me to watch how people respond to thing, like or dislike things, understand or don't understand what parts, all for future projects to hopefully continue to be better.
What I'm working on right now I hope people enjoy, I'm trying to spin it as the final chapter to my unofficial loose 'saga' of games, Blank Slate, Girl's Graveyard, and Close Your Eyes, a more refined title that tells an individual story but also wraps up some loose ends from all three of those games. That won't be around for 2-4 months, though.

Heads-up, started work on the final game in this 'series' I've been doing unofficially between Blank Slate, Girl's Graveyard, & Close Your Eyes. Should be a loose sequel of all three of those games in the background, but also be a stand-alone story, and longer and more effort than the three of them. Should be done in 2-5 months from now, going by the name The Craved Nerve.
I really enjoyed the game, and i must say you are really damn good at voice acting, your voice reminds me of Wally Wingert.
Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work!
-Spoiler-
Beautiful game.
Who was The Host/Green Guy in the end? and what is the protagonist? the girl's plushie or something?
Beautiful game.

I'm very happy with the response to the voice acting, certainly. I decided to be riskier with voicing in the next game, it's good practice and experience, here's hoping it comes out well with some good direction.

Beautiful game.
The Host will be explored a bit more in the near future, as will the game's protagonist. Both of them will play some role in my next game, The Craved Nerve, so I don't want to say too much, but enjoying people's theories.
can you please tell me how do you beat the don't leave me puzzle. i already got ending 5 and i am now trying to get every other ending.

SPOILER WARNING:
Don't go the route where you get a 'Don't Leave Me' message. Try and keep in mind where you got the message, as it'll only pop up once, even from different angles.
However, look for a table... Near there is where the exit is.
Also know if going for all endings, there's two endings in the mansion earlier when you get the key that has two uses (Endings 6 & 7, though 7 you needed to have messed with the radio during the party scene earlier, before meeting Host, but in the party room).

i have played this before but theres no comment :/...
to remind my self i hated this got stuck on the color puzzle which by the way it was worded was unsolvable as things overlapped.
it would also be great if the developer hid some comments that talk about such things in detail without them hiding it.
spoilers are messed up :/

Oh my, I actually forget how to do spoiler tags in this comment section. But I did add a spoiler warning.
I think I recall your comment, it was on the older version of this game, which was a different game page. That version was reworked a lot now twice, this is the 'final expansion' version, the note's wording has been changed a lot and several things from the original version were cut/changed, along with a lot of new stuff.

I really love the game, it's amazingly creepy :3 especially the audio, and you're such a cute little marshmellow! But I am stuck in a place with tombstones and the epitaph, where there's glowing eyes on sticks that you turn on with switches at the base, then press the button on the stone book to (I think) open the gate. It would be great if someone could give a hint :)

(SPOILERS FOR THE SOLUTION BELOW)
There's nine statues around that, when clicked, make a light in the statues turn on and glow red. Next to each statue is a tombstone, with an inscription on it of some sort. Right above all of this is a barred-off underground entrance, and a book monument with a longer inscription. The book inscription gives hints to what statues to press, you need to read the grave's inscriptions and determine what graves match hints in the book's inscription, and in turn, which statue lights to turn on.
The graves each mention the name of the person, the date they died, and a small flavor text about them.The answer to the small riddles in the book inscriptions are related to all three elements of the grave's inscriptions.
Hint:
Solution if you decide to give up:
The statues to light up are as follows, an O means the light is on, an X means the light is off:
O________X
X _X _O _X
_X___O_
___O____

Gawd, who's voice acting? Everytime I get goose bumps when I hear the male voice. Love it. :DDD
It's a really cool and scary game. :3
(At the moment I am at this cemetery with the eye statues.)
I hope it will be exist a german version of this game someday. :3

To be seen how language stuff goes. And happy you enjoyed the voice acting, I voiced the Host myself.
aw, come on, I can't believe you gave away the train one.
is there more wiggle room in yours for a moral conclusion?
that's only puzzle that really takes a brain >:0 I had to THINK over that one. My feels. anyways, so I got the, um, factory ending, but are there other endings/ any endings that aren't so bad? I get yeah, it's a matter of perspective and blahblahblah but I'm more rebellious than that and like to defy fate, so does it really just end with your inability to make choices in delusion? Is there another ending to reach that had a path I missed or something? I mean, I get the ethical nature of the game, and this game seems very similar, or that it may have acted as an inspiration or something:
is there more wiggle room in yours for a moral conclusion?
