## Description
You are trying to fall asleep.

In the midst of a silent night, a shadowy being approaches your bed.

You can't see it... but across the darkness of your eyelids, a silhouette forms nonetheless.

It seeks one thing: for you to open your eyes, and tell them how they look.

Will you comply? Or will you refuse to see them for what they are?

The choice is yours.

"(Don't) Open Your Eyes" is a short, horror-themed Visual Novel about a midnight encounter with a mysterious being. Through conversation, you'll learn more about them, such as their journey so far, or what they think about themselves. And every now and then, it'll make a simple request out of you: to open your eyes.

It's up to you whether to open your eyes or not. It's up to you to believe if they're really there, or if that whispering voice is only a part of your imagination. Just don't keep your visitor waiting for too long.
