About
DON'T STOP SMILING is a first-person short horror game that reads your facial expressions through your PC camera in real time.
If your smile fades—even for a moment—you die. This simple rule creates a uniquely disturbing experience built on tension, guilt, and forced emotion.
You explore an eerie, dimly lit school corridor, solving small puzzles and pushing forward while maintaining a smile.
The more the situation makes smiling impossible, the more your body and emotions become directly tied to the horror unfolding on screen.
Playtime: Approx. 45–60 minutes
Streaming and video uploads are welcome.Monetization is also allowed.
The game does not include any feature that displays the player’s face on the game screen.
However, since this game uses a PC camera, streamers who do not normally show their face
should livestream the game at their own discretion and responsibility.

Reviews
Honestly, the game doesn't have that much to offer. There is just a mechanic that you must keep smiling and then there is a loop which resets if you get caught. Sometimes the tracking won't work even if you are stretching your lips apart to keep the status GREEN. Your cheeks and cheekbone are gonna hurt after playing it. It is pretty short too. There is no explanation of the story or the weird occurences that happen. This seems like a funtime project than an actual game. You can play it once and forget about it.

冗談じゃなく!まじで!顔が痛い!!ほっぺたが痛い!! でもすごくおもしろいです! すんなりいけば15分くらいでクリアできます。 トラッキングを使用したギミックが多くおもしろい。 例えば口を開けたらダメとか目を開けたらダメとか。 配信で遊ばせていただきましたm(__)m https://youtu.be/apKVYt8JqI4
有意思!需要首次通关七天,解锁无尽模式。两种模式可玩,非常棒!挺不错的一款摄像头监测你的24颗獠牙恐怖游戏。游戏结束了,我还在呲牙!值得推荐!
I really disappointed. I got this game that has been on my Wishlist for a while and I cannot even play it cause my biggest smile was still too small for it to let me.
Sehr lustige Idee! Umsetzung mit nicht so guten Kameras evtl schwierig, wie ich in einigen Bewertungen gelesen habe. Mit einer guten Kamera aber definitiv machbar und für den Chat absolut lustig, sich die Gesichtskirmes des Streamenden anzuschauen HAHAHA Wir hatten Spaß, mal was anderes, rein da, wenn dir SMILE gefallen hat und du die ganze Zeit creepy schauen möchtest und dabei versuchst nicht draufzugehen HAHA Ich bereue nichts und bin definitiv positiv überrascht! PS: Würde die Gesichtskirmes auch gerne bei FunzelTV, NotHuman, DieKlabauterfrau, EinfachChris98, PixelLizzy, JulioTapas, Badewannendiva, TrulyDini und und und sehen! Kussi :*
야이 개발자야 카메라 선택이 안된다 방송 하는 프로그램에 캠을 미리 띄운 상태에서 인 게임 카메라 선택하면 인식이 안된다 방송 프로그램에서 캠을 끄고 인 게임에서 설정 하면 되긴 하는데 그럼 표정이 안 나오고ㅇㅇ OBS 가상 카메라로 해보니까 얼굴 인식은 되는데 인 게임 렉 뒤지게 걸려서 게임 진행이 아예 불가능하다 커뮤니티에 질문한 사람 몇 명 있는데 답장도 안하고 그렇다면 리뷰에 욕 써도 신경 안 쓰겠지? 짜증나게 하지 말고 빨리 인식하게 해줘!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[h1]DON'T STOP SMILING[/h1] Короткая игра, приятная цена, мне очень нравится механика в игре. Но она кривая. Очень кривая. [h2]В чем суть[/h2] Главная фишка - ты должен постоянно улыбаться. Буквально. Игра через веб-камеру следит за твоим лицом в реальном времени. Перестал улыбаться - тебя скушали руки. [h2]Геймплей[/h2] Помимо улыбки, есть и другие механики с лицом: где-то нужно идти с закрытыми глазами, где-то открывать рот, чтобы имитировать жевание, в других местах - копировать выражения лица. Но главное испытание - моральные дилеммы. Чтобы продвинуться, ты должен совершать поступки, которые вызывают отвращение и вину. И всё это с улыбкой на лице. [h2]Что бесит[/h2] Распознавание лица работает через раз. Я часто умирала непонятно почему - просто ломалось распознавание, хотя я вроде улыбалась. Свет, положение камеры, малейшая тень - и всё, ты труп. Из-за этого игра превращается не в хоррор, а в борьбу с технической реализацией. [h2]Итог[/h2] Идея шикарная. Механика свежая и реально страшная - когда пытаешься улыбаться, глядя на экран с жутью. Хочется, чтобы таких игр с необычными механиками было больше. Но реализация подкачала - кривое распознавание убивает весь кайф. Надеюсь, моя перекошенная от инсульта улыбка не гуляет по интернету.
I recommend this game so I'm not the only one who lost their time. Good idea, bad excecution. 5/10
Было весело, но недолго.
