Koishi can use her Third Eye to read minds and see some things most people can’t (and likely wouldn’t want to). It’s a cursed power, but you’ll need it to escape your new, monstrous predicament.
Koishi’s hasn’t been super keen on being around people since her powers manifested, so she’s kept to herself in her room for a very long time. That typically works fine, except one night, she awakens someplace else, and will find herself wandering a strange world and meeting some creepy folks within it.
3rd eye follows Koishi throughout her journey across several realms, each of which is filled with some unsettling visions hiding just underneath a (still kinda eerie) surface. Koishi’s eye can allow her to see the things that hide beneath reality, which helps when you’re looking for some item you need to escape it. This comes with some problems, as some ghastly things live on the other side and don’t seem too happy to see you. Also, it dries your eye out to stare into the abyss for long, so you’ll need to use eye drops to soothe it. Seriously. Just because it’s supernatural doesn’t mean you won’t need to take care of your physical health.
This Touhou fan game is filled with wonderful, yet unsettling folks to meet and befriend, as well as some startling visions of disturbed places. It creates a chilling sense of something lurking right behind you in plain sight with its dual realities, creating some wonderful dread even when you’re looking at a calm place filled with cute (but odd) kids.
3rd eye is available now on Steam.
