Today we are facing a very difficult situation, when we have to forget about parties, lectures, going to the gym or to restaurants or cafes. In such conditions, many people don’t know what to do and how to entertain themselves.
Still, we have to stay at home and do something in order to keep ourselves busy. There are many ways to do it: reading books, doing exercises, talking to your friends online, etc.
Another nice option is to find some interesting apps that will entertain you. This is what we have done. Here is a list of the most exciting apps that will keep you busy during the time of quarantine.

This one of the most exciting and a bit terrifying gamer. Eyes is an indie horror, so what you need to do is to hide from a mysterious creature inside the house.
Another thing is that you also need to collect little purses in order to get out of the house. Keep an eye on the drawings on the walls. Should you see an image of an eye, tap on it. So you collect such eyes and then use them.
These eyes help you to see the location of a creature. In other words, you see the house through the eyes o this disturbing creature. This is why you can figure out its location easily.
And if you see yourself, it means that the disturbing creature is right in front of you. If you fail to hide from the monster, you lose.
We need to say that Eyes is a horror. Keep this in mind, especially if you are looking for a family game. We would not recommend you to play Eyes with children.
Eyes are available in App Store and Google Play.
