Lenovo had Before Your Eyes lined up as a free download and has pushed the giveaway back. No new date came with the announcement, and that really is the whole announcement: no country list, no window, no "later this month". Anyone who parked the game on a mental list waiting for the free copy is now waiting on something they cannot write in a calendar.
It would sting if the game cost twenty euros. It costs €0.88.
What is actually confirmed
Postponed, no new date, as of 2 September. That is the lot. We have not seen conditions, a region list, a replacement promotion or a hint about when it comes back, so we are not going to fill the gaps in with guesses. When there is a date, we will write about it.
The decision it leaves you with is a small one. Holding out for a free copy is worth doing when the alternative is a twenty-euro purchase. Here the alternative is under a euro, spread across 22 live offers from 13 stores on our page as we write this.
€0.88 at Kinguin, and nine more under two euros
The cheapest is a Kinguin Steam code, Standard edition, Global region, at €0.88. Right behind it sit Eneba at €0.98 and Gamivo at €0.99, both Global, then Driffle at €1.14 and Instant Gaming at €1.19. The Europe-locked copies want a bit more: Eneba €1.26, Kinguin €1.32, Gamivo €1.50. G2A's Global code follows at €1.90 and YUPLAY closes the group at €1.94.
Ten offers under two euros, from seven different stores. That depth means nothing here is about to run out on you. If Kinguin empties, stepping to the next one costs ten cents. Region still counts even at this kind of money: a Europe code will not redeem on a US account, while a Global one goes anywhere.
The far end of the list wants more than ten times as much
Past two euros the page thins out fast. Difmark asks €2.14, G2A Europe €2.16, Driffle Europe €2.29 and CDKeys €2.49. Between that €2.49 and GamesPlanet's €7.75 the page holds only three offers, and we are leaving them out of today's reading on purpose: Royal Key Software at €3.37 and two Wyrel offers at €4.40 and €5.79 have not refreshed in months, so those are the last figures we read from those stores rather than what they are asking today. Above them, only Green Man Gaming at €9.75. Same game, same Standard edition, and the last entry asks eleven times what the first one does.
Three Steam Gifts, and not one shared account
Above everything else there are three Steam Gift entries, all from G2A: €10.00 for the US, €11.49 for Europe and €11.49 Global. A gift and a code are not the same purchase. A code you redeem yourself, typing it into Steam so the game lands in your own library. A gift is sent to your account from the seller's account, which means a friend request, a wait for the transfer to go through, and regions that have to line up. Eleven euros for that, against a code at under one, is not an argument anybody can win.
Worth naming what the page does not have: shared accounts. Not one of the 22 offers is somebody else's Steam login with the game already sitting in it. On most sub-euro pages that is precisely what the cheapest line turns out to be, so this one is unusually clean. Every offer here either lands in your library or is sent to it.
Three weeks between €0.70 and €1.08
We record the cheapest offer daily. On 12 August it read €1.08, the ceiling of the run. It dropped to €0.93 the next day, held at €0.90 from the 15th to the 18th, eased to €0.86 on the 19th and hit €0.70 on 20 August. We hold 1,055 days of readings on this game, starting on 12 April, four days after it came out, and €0.70 is the cheapest figure in any of them. After that: €0.84, €0.82, two days at €0.85, €0.78 on the 28th, €0.77 on the 29th and the same figure on the 31st and the 1st. This month has gone €0.84, €0.81, €0.81, €0.82, and €0.88 today.
So today is not the best day of the stretch. It sits 18 cents above the floor, and the gap between the best day and the worst across three weeks is 38 cents. You can wait for a better one. What you win by waiting is loose change.
Ninety minutes, played with your eyelids
GoodbyeWorld Games made it, Skybound Games published it, and it came out on an 8 April, five years ago now. The run is about an hour and a half and it reads your webcam: you blink, the scene moves on, and it never comes back. A mouse works too if you would rather not sit in front of a camera, though the blinking is the reason the thing exists at all.
We have no Steam verdict on file for this one, so the critical read comes from OpenCritic: 41 reviews, 28 of them from top critics, a top-critic average of 82.96 out of 100 and a median of 80. Eighty percent of critics recommend it, and OpenCritic's own label for it is Strong.
An evening's worth of a well-reviewed game for less than a coffee. If that is your night, buy Before Your Eyes key at €0.88 and stop refreshing Lenovo's page.
