From the creators of Before Your Eyes, Goodnight Universe is a narrative adventure where you play as Isaac, a six-month-old baby with mysterious psychic abilities. What you want most is to be loved and accepted by your family, but a secretive tech corporation wants you for their own. The game features an immersive “face-tracking” mode, expanding on the innovative use of camera-based technology that the team is known for. Goodnight Universe was awarded the 2024 Tribeca Games Award and SXSW Sydney 2025 Games Festival's Best International Game.
