This horror game monster watches you through your webcam
The game emphasizes exploration and discovery, inviting players to delve into a mysterious environment filled with unsettling elements. As you navigate this eerie setting, the innovative webcam mechanic ensures that your physical actions directly influence your in-game survival, creating an immersive experience that heightens tension and engagement.
Privacy-conscious players will find a disclaimer on the Steam page stating that all webcam processing occurs locally on their computers. No images, videos, or data are collected or transmitted externally, and the webcam feature can be disabled in the settings at any time. The trailer showcases scenes where the player will need to have their face scanned in order to unlock doors, forcing them to juggle making progress with risking being seen by the malevolent entity hunting them down. In order to hide from the entity, players will need to physically duck out of sight of their webcam.
By blending physical movements with in-game actions, Eyes Never Wake offers a fresh perspective on horror gaming, challenging players to interact with their environment in novel and interesting ways. This unique mechanic not only intensifies the horror experience but also showcases the potential for innovative gameplay that transcends traditional controller-based or virtual reality interactions. A unique mixed reality experience without the need for VR applications or hardware that may help pave the way for more creative titles in the same vein. Eyes Never Wake is listed as 'coming soon', and can currently be added to wish lists or tracked on Steam.
