Can't wait to bang my head while playing this survival horror that lets you hide from its monster using your webcam

Summary
Eyes Never Wake is a new survival horror game that uses a webcam to track whether the player’s face is present or not, in a style similar to The Backrooms
The monster that hunts the player cannot see them if their face is not visible on screen, forcing them to duck to avoid being seen
This idea is similar to the game Before Your Eyes, which uses a webcam to control a game narrative by using blinks
Players cannot simply turn their webcams away, as there are doors that require in-world facial recognition scans to open them
The game is an interesting take on the horror genre and it will be interesting to see how the developer uses the player’s physical presence in the game
