I Can't Trust My Eyes

About

I Can't Trust My Eyes is a brief horror experience that leans into psychological unease. After a traumatic event, the player navigates a distorted world where familiar faces twist into unsettling shapes. The game uses simple mechanics to build tension through audio cues and visual glitches. Each encounter feels personal and intrusive, creating vulnerability. The entire experience lasts between five and ten minutes. Despite its short runtime, the game packs a visceral punch. Developer SWLRW crafted it in two weeks for Acerola Jam 0, proving that tight design can leave a lasting impression. The focus on mental distress as a core mechanic resonated with players, sparking discussions about its themes in online forums. The lack of traditional survival elements makes it stand apart from typical horror fare.
