Camera-based games?

...do these exist? I remember that even the Microsoft Store (lol) had a couple crappy ones on it. Are there really any games on Steam that rely on using your webcam to play?

The last know efforts on such a concept at all were EyeToy on Playstation in 2003 later improved and augmented to the PS: Move concept in 2009 / 2010 and Xbox with its Kinect feature around the same period.

Both of which never had been that successfull. They had their hype with a pretty flat curve though. But it never took off as anyone ever desired so it is more like an enthusiasts feature. That said there are only a hand full of developers that ever had their fingers into this when developing a game.

On PC there are way too much possibilities to literally waste your time on such a thing especially with such a little interest in it. Not to mention the breakthroughs on AR / VR / MR not quite after said periods. So as far as I can tell your desired genre was a dead man walking right from the beginning and had been dead for quite a long time by now and I can't name a single game that works anywhere near similar to EyeToy or the MS-Store ones - I mean I can't even name a single one on the MS-Store actually...

I know a few mobile games that try to do the same but they are not very playable or at least enjoyable

When badge spam still creates necros nearly 9 years after it was replaced, you know Valve done messed up with that original task.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
