Goodnight Universe is a first-person adventure game. The player controls 6-month-old Isaac as he discovers his psychic abilities. Just like Before Your Eyes , the game Nice Dream founders worked on while at GoodbyeWorld Games, the game features optional eye-tracking using the player's camera to interact with the game, but instead of blinking to progress, Goodnight Universe allows the player to move and manipulate objects with their eyes.
