You know this situation?
While you were gaming, the cutout broke.
You will have to leave your PC room and to go to the terrifying basement to replace it...
Good Luck!!!

Experience the all-new "See through the Gamer's Eye" Mode to eliminate your enemies, to hack computers with your USB flash drive and to unlock cool game covers!

HINT: Try to use the pizza-gadget (Change to it by pressing the "H" key) to get along the dad. Other gadgets may be useful to defeat the other enemies...

I liked the pitch, the player movements and the controls are quite buggy, and it's hard to find what we have to do. But there is some nice idea behind !

Had to run it in compatibility mode to get it to work (I have windows 8.1 if that helps). And the controls were not great.

I agree with the last comment: the music was really good, but it wasn't at all clear what you're supposed to do. It didn't help that the intro screen disappeared way before I could read it all.

This was pretty hard to play due to some glitchy controls. Was a bit opaque to me.

Didn't quite grasp what to do. And all the controls presented in the begining go to much, so I needed to go back there all the time to recheck what the buttons did. Gamer mode was nice. Got stuck above the wall when trying to jump over grampa. Like a super mario brother!

I can't understand what should I do,if I go into gamer mode and press U near the PC with the USB thumb nothing happens.I can't go past the grandfather because,I suppose, the solution is in the PC. Also the controls were a little buggy

I managed to pick up covers but couldn't seem to get the usb to work on the computer so I got a little stuck. Like the gamer eyes mode though.

I like the concept of gamer vision but the controls and movement were a bit awkward and I was not sure what to do at first being overwhelmed with options, but I did make some progress even though I could not figure out how to use the computers which ended my experience.

Sorry, but this game just a bit too buggy. Better luck next time!

Controls were somewhat weird (espacially when jumping), and I could not seem to get the USB key to work with the computer (I did get a game cover though).
I suppose that the computer is somehow useful to get past the dad?

Hmm... nice music, cool game concept but... Hm.

- That tutorial text: "use USB drive to hack" and "use gamer eyes, and pick up cover" followed me thro entire game.
- Collisions are little buggy, ex. I float between first computer and stairs.
- I'd be great if 1st computer actually do something visible. I used everything in both modes, before I give up and move along. Seeing 2nd computer really make me upset, but I tried to hack it, and hey, it worked.
Then I alt-tabed game and it crashed. I go 2nd time, didn't even bother with 1st comp, and encountered doors. Now I know that 1st comp actually do something, but...
- I'd be great if game covers were for something, not just collectables, ex they were slightly changing gamers eye mode, or sth.
- After reaching 2nd lvl game covers messed up.

Fun idea but a bit difficult because of the controls, and not enough feedback and what does or doesnt work.. for example couldn't get the usb drive to work on the PC, atleast I didn't notice anything that happened.

I liked the game in theory! If only I could figure out how to play this game. The "gamers eyes" feature was cool though.
