- Halloween prop builders with a spare monitor
- Worth noticing
- Its motion tracker processes 64×48 webcam frames locally; the page says frames are never stored or sent.
Field notes
The setup guide describes a three-part build: install the app, conceal a screen and peripherals in a prop, then add a model key. Its two characters have different dialogue premises, including the Witch's candy-for-riddle offer. Scares are assigned hotkeys, while the page says their sounds are synthesized live rather than played from audio files.
