3rd Eye

About

3rd Eye is a 2D adventure game that leans into horror and puzzle-solving. You play as Koishi Komeiji, a character from the Touhou Project, navigating a twisted mental realm using her supernatural Third Eye. The gameplay mixes platforming with environmental puzzles, where you manipulate the surreal landscape to progress. The story unfolds in a nonlinear way, with fragmented visions hinting at deeper mysteries. It’s all presented in a stark black-and-white art style that sharpens the unsettling tone. The game’s strongest points are its atmospheric tension and clever level design. The mental world feels alive with hidden dangers and cryptic symbols, encouraging close observation. While the difficulty can spike unpredictably, the core experience holds up for fans of psychological thrillers. Available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Switch since late 2019, it’s a compact but memorable entry in the indie horror scene.
