Limited-time PC game promotions have become an effective way for players to discover acclaimed releases, but the most sought-after offers often depend on a finite supply of codes rather than a fixed end time. That will be the case for Before Your Eyes, which Lenovo’s Legion Gaming Community plans to offer free on September 2. Steam users will be able to claim a key while supplies last, giving them a chance to pick up a narrative adventure with a 98% Overwhelmingly Positive rating from roughly 15,000 user reviews.
A Highly Rated Game With an Unusual Control Scheme
Before Your Eyes follows a recently deceased soul as it is guided through memories from its life. Its defining feature is a webcam-based blinking mechanic: the game tracks when players close their eyes and uses those moments to progress through scenes. The story explores childhood, family, ambition, regret, love, loss, and pain, making the act of blinking part of the game’s emotional structure rather than a conventional input method.
The adventure is relatively short, but its reception suggests that its impact extends beyond its runtime. Players have responded positively to the writing, characters, music, visual presentation, and interactive storytelling. The combination has helped the game maintain a 98% rating on Steam after approximately 15,000 reviews.
How the September 2 Giveaway Works
The promotion is hosted through Lenovo’s Legion Gaming Community and operates on a limited-key basis. There is no stated time window after the event begins; instead, the giveaway continues until Lenovo’s available Steam keys are gone. That makes early preparation important for anyone hoping to secure a copy.
Players must create an account with the Legion Gaming Community and sign in to its Gamesplanet key partner. From the event page, they can join the queue and should bookmark the page for easier access. Once admitted, users have 10 minutes to claim the voucher. The linked Steam account must have spent at least $5 on games before the giveaway, and the Steam account can be connected in advance. After the voucher is redeemed through Gamesplanet, PC users receive a key for Steam activation.
Another Lenovo Giveaway Is Scheduled First
Before Your Eyes is not the only upcoming offer from Lenovo. The Walking Dead Season 1 from Telltale is scheduled to become available on August 19, also while the supply of Steam keys lasts. Both promotions use the same general approach, so users interested in either game should not assume that the offer will remain available until the end of the day.
Anyone who misses the free promotion can still purchase Before Your Eyes on Steam for $10. Given its strong review record and distinctive webcam mechanic, the game remains a relatively inexpensive option even if the giveaway reaches its key limit quickly.

Expert View
The promotion highlights how a strong community reputation can keep a short experimental game relevant well after release. For Lenovo, limited Steam-key giveaways create urgency while putting distinctive PC experiences in front of players who may not otherwise try them. For the game itself, the offer could introduce a wider audience to webcam-driven storytelling without changing the focused design that earned its unusually high review score.
