About
Eye of the Beholder is a single player casual action adventure game. It was developed by Fathom_Film_Group and was released on November 30, 2020. It received mostly positive reviews from players.
Step into war-torn enemy territory in this immersive VR game experience based on the Oscar-shortlisted documentary MY ENEMY, MY BROTHER (2015). EYE OF THE BEHOLDER is a 20 minute experience that subverts the war-game genre as players must choose to combat or collaborate with others.
- The game offers a strong atmospheric and immersive experience with a dark, war-torn setting and an interesting real-life story basis.
- The first-person perspective with basic interactive elements provides a quick, accessible narrative-driven VR or non-VR experience.
- It is free to play and works well on multiple VR systems, running smoothly with stable performance.
- The game lacks meaningful player choice, as decisions often do not affect outcomes, reducing interactivity and player agency.
- Voice acting and writing are generally considered weak, with wooden delivery and inconsistent volume mixing.
- Absence of locomotion and limited interactivity make the gameplay feel on-rails and restrict player engagement.

The story is based on a real-life event and is conveyed in a brief, interactive VR experience lasting around 15 minutes. While the premise is interesting and initially engaging, the execution, including writing and character design, is lacking and leaves much to be desired.
“Real life story told in VR.”
“Recommended because the real life story is interesting, and the experience is free, but don't expect too much.”
“The game got off to a semi-interesting start, and I became invested in the story pretty quickly.”
“The whole thing lasts about 15 minutes, including the ending mini trailer of the documentary this story is based on.”
“Also, the size felt a bit too big, and I don't know why your companion doesn't look like the guy the story is based on (you get to see how he looks like in real life).”
“Unfortunately, the execution in delivering the story was not good.”
