About
Do you have laser eyes?
Are you trapped in a vaguely corporate pseudo-governmental testing facility against your will?
Having to spend every waking moment deciding between destroying everything that you see and sparing those around you from a fiery and violent death, at the cost of your vision?
Well, if this is your lived experience, this game might hit a bit too close to home. But assuming you don’t have eyeballs of annihilation, If Looks Could Kill might be as good as you get. Solve puzzles and defeat enemies, escaping your captors as you constantly have to decide to keep your eyes closed, or not.
