I had to stop ...

[Jammet]

... I love games that touch me on an emotional level, but here that emotion eventually turned into just stress and mild annoyance. I stopped when the game constantly told me to keep my eyes open. I can't. I blink. That's how I roll. I can't stare blankly and force myself not to blink for long. It hurts. And constantly cutting off moments fractions of seconds after they begin ... I guess the game doesn't understand, some people blink more or faster than others. I had no this was part of the game when I got it. That's a bit sad because I liked the story, or at least what snippets I got, before the blinking made it go away too early every single time.

Um, no worries.
very easy, just go into the calibration screen, avert your eyes a bit while calibrating, (left right or down will work) when doing the blinking counting, lift your gaze a bit to look directly at the webcam to blink. Job done. You can now avert your eyes slightly to blink and the game will not detect your blinking.

There have been many threads where this has worked for others, give it a go :-) Enjoy, it's a great game, if you would like more like it, head over to this gratuitously presented collection : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/91358/

Thank you, I might give it a go like that. I'd have to get the camera again, which I had borrowed from the normal computer, but I'll try.

Also, thank you for these sweet recommendations in that list. A number of them I know, some I've never heard from.

Even though this isn't my own list, I would probably add "Brothers - a tale of two sons", "Night in the Woods", "Fall of Porcupine", "Firewatch" to this sort of list. Perhaps also Undertale.
