Beyond Eyes is a sweet little walking simulator about a blind girl. The world is bright white but slowly becomes uncovered as you move around it. The story is nice and the sense of discovery and upset expectations is really well done. My 6 year old greatly enjoyed watching me play it but it might be just a tad too difficult/frustrating in parts for a young child to play themselves.
My only real gripe with the game is the walking speed is frustratingly slow. I understand why and it works fine for the lore of the game but your character should jog rather than walk through already discovered areas. It would greatly improve the pacing of the game and encourage backtracking and full exploration of the maps to uncover hidden story beats.
