![]() Ransack an old house to retrieve bags of money. The goal of Eyes, like the controls you’ll use to accomplish that goal, is deceptively simple. And within two minutes–give or take 60 seconds–I bounded out of bed mumbling “Nope nope nope nope" and switched the bedroom lights back on and started in on the much more cheerful Sonic Dash. I downloaded the game, plugged in my ear buds, turned off the lights, and turned up the volume. But I am comfortable enough in my rugged masculinity (I haven’t shaved in six weeks) to admit that’s exactly what happened. It was to laugh–to guffaw, I tell you!–at the idea that any game on a five-inch screen could make me shriek like Jamie Lee Curtis in a Halloween flick. While scoping out upcoming App Store releases late Wednesday evening, I learned about Eyes – The Horror Game ($0.99), a port of the indie PC title of the same name that promised a similar flight-no-fight experience. I’m a big fan of survival horror games, especially ones like Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Slender, which provide no means of defending yourself from their boogeymen.
