![]() These were to devise a questionnaire which was sent out to 264 other people who gave detailed responses of their experiences. Researchers from Hadassah University in Jerusalem analyzed seven accounts of such experiences, obtained from in-depth interviews. Often, the mind played tricks – with people reliving their own experiences from the point of view of others who had been involved. The study found that many of the flashbacks involved intensely emotional moments. Participants said that there was rarely any order to their life memories and that they seemed to come at random, and sometimes simultaneously. Research on those who have had “near death” experiences suggests that the phenomenon rarely involves flashbacks in chronological order, as happens in Hollywood films. Hopefully nobody will figure out the obvious exploit of winking each eye independently.Īssuming it hits the $20,000 Kickstarter goal, Close Your is due in February 2017.Your life really does flash before your eyes when you die,Ī study suggests – with the parts of the brain that store memories last to be affected as other functions fail. The main thing for them now is getting the graphics re-jigged and making sure the real-world blinky feature works with everybody’s dodgy webcams. If you decide to work hard at your desk instead of fraternising with your co-workers, for example, the game will track it and "reflect your unique disposition" later on. The story will change depending on how you behave in each scene, the developers claim, rather than relying on the "obvious moral choices" of games like Telltale’s adventures. There also seem to be subtle actions that will have an impact on what happens down the line. That sounds like good bait for uncontrollable weeping to me. You may close your eyes on your first kiss, and open them at your wedding, or close your eyes on a fight with your mother, only to open them at her funeral. "Since blinking is an inevitable physical process, each of these vignettes is imbued with inherent tension. Here’s what the developers, GoodbyeWorld Games, say about that: Each blink might skip ahead a few minutes or whole years. At the beginning of the game you’ll be hit by a car, the developers explain, and then have a quick chat with Death as he gives you the tutorial for dying. It looks like a first-person reimagining of that one scene from Up. Here’s a short trailer explaining things. The team behind it are hoping to get it released in February next year, which will come along any moment now. Jenkins.Īlice wrote about Close Your back in 2014 but she must have blinked since then because here we are in 2016 and it has just launched a Kickstarter to fund a graphical overhaul. ![]() Blink again and would you look at that, you’re at your desk job and there he is. You might be hanging out with your new mates on the first day of school, blink, and suddenly be in da club, dancing with strangers. Each time you – the real you – blinks, your webcam will detect it and launch the story forward, sometimes by several years. Close Your is a first-person game that hopes to replicate the speedy passage of life. One minute you’re playing with toy cars in your nappy and the next minute you’re 35 years old and Jenkins wants those reports by Monday.
