Planet of the Eyes is an action-puzzle platformer with a retro-sci-fi-inspired style and a mystery-driven storyline. At the outset of the game, the player awakens as a nameless exploration robot aboard a crash-landed ship on an uncharted world. Driven by a strange urge to discover the source of a mysterious signal from the planet, the robot negotiates multiple dangers to uncover its source, as well as learn more about his history through the encoded messages of a surviving crew member. The fate of this crew member, the robot and the planet itself will hang in the balance as players contemplate an ultimate decision.
