Jugué a esto de una sentada, y siento que estoy muy verde en obras emotivas de este estilo para comentarlas con propiedad. Para mí, siempre hay un cierto riesgo a la hora de construir obras centradas en torno a la transmisión de ciertas emociones porque es muy fácil que la repetición de ciertos temas acabe deviniendo en monotonía. En mi opinión, Before your Eyes sufre un poco de esto en su parte media, cuando estás a punto de llegar al final de tu relato al lobo. La parte que lo salva, para mí, es el final, porque creo que consigue coaligar toda la experiencia en una sola emoción: lo valioso y hermoso que es haber vivido.
Como ya he dicho, no puedo decir si esto es "bueno" o "malo". Personalmente me emocioné bastante, pero tampoco volvería para intentar otras decisiones o tantear con elementos que me hubiera dejado de lado. Creo que cosas así son mejores experimentadas una sola vez.

I played this in one sitting, and I honestly feel I'm too green on works like this to properly asses it. For me, there's always a certain risk when creating works that rely exclusively on delivering emotional truths, basically because the repetition of the same themes and ideas can easily fall into monotony or redundancy. As far as I can say, Before your Eyes suffers a little bit of this in the middle section, right before finishing your tale to the wolf. The part that saves it, for me, is the ending, because it manages to bring together all its disparate elements into a cohesive idea: the value and beauty of having been alive.
As I said before, I can't tell if this game was "good" or not. I personally was very moved by it, but I don't think I would play it again and try the other decisions or any object I might've missed out. I think works like this are better experienced once.
