Steam users have another chance to grab a free but highly-rated game, and this one is worth paying attention to. Before Your Eyes, the emotional narrative adventure from GoodbyeWorld Games, will be available as a free Steam key. However, this isn't a normal Steam giveaway. Keys are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and only for a day. Here's everything you need to know.

Before Your Eyes Will Be Free on September 23

Before Your Eyes is one of the most highly rated narrative games on Steam. It currently holds a 98% positive rating from more than 15,500 player reviews, earning it Steam's "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating.

The game also has a rather unusual mechanic. It can use your webcam to detect your real-life blinking, making your eyes part of the gameplay.

The story follows a recently deceased soul traveling toward the afterlife while revisiting important moments from their life. It's a short but emotional experience, making this free Steam game particularly appealing for players who enjoy story-driven adventures.

When Does the Free Steam Giveaway Start

The Before Your Eyes giveaway begins on September 23 at 12 PM ET through the Lenovo Gaming Community's Key Drops program.

Claim Before Your Eyes through Lenovo Gaming Community Drops

There is one important catch: keys are limited. Joining the queue doesn't guarantee that you'll receive one, so getting there as soon as the giveaway opens is recommended.

How to Claim the Free Steam Game

You'll need a few accounts ready before September 23. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Create or log in to your Steam, Twitch, and Lenovo Gaming Community accounts.
  2. Open the Key Drops page when the giveaway starts at 12 PM ET.
  3. Join the queue and complete the Steam and Twitch verification through Gleam.
  4. Connect your Lenovo Gaming Community account.
  5. Redeem the key through Gamesplanet and activate the resulting Steam key on Steam.

Because the process involves several steps, it's better to have everything ready before the giveaway begins.

The Giveaway Was Originally Delayed

This Before Your Eyes giveaway was originally scheduled for September 2 but was postponed after technical issues affected Lenovo's Key Drops system.

Lenovo subsequently made backend changes intended to improve the system's speed and stability. The company later ran a The Walking Dead giveaway on September 9 without similar problems, so the September 23 free Steam game giveaway is currently expected to proceed as planned.

Don't Wait Too Long

Before Your Eyes is already highly regarded by Steam players, and getting it for absolutely nothing makes the upcoming giveaway worth checking out.

Just remember that this is a limited-key promotion rather than an unlimited free Steam game offer. If you want a chance at a copy, be ready at 12 PM ET on September 23 and join the queue as early as possible.
