HXR

HXR: Haunted XR Prototype If you’ve ever felt like traditional haunted houses are too crowded, too expensive, too far away, too impersonal, or just the same recycled jump-scares every year… you’re not wrong. And if today’s AR apps leave you thinking “Is that it?”, a flash of novelty, a single spooky animation, and then nothing, you’re definitely not alone. For fans of paranormal stories, immersive horror, and interactive characters, that gap is painful. Because the problem isn’t the imagination. It’s the connection. We want spooks who feel real, characters who talk back, pull us deeper into a world, and guide us through a story instead of just popping up for one cheap adrenaline spike, (They are fun but grow wearisome after a while). We want experiences that spark wonder, not just creepy effects, makeup, or set pieces. And that’s exactly where Haunted XR is different. The Real Issue: XR Hasn’t Delivered Emotional Presence… Yet AR should be the perfect fix for the crowded, pricey, seasonal haunted house experience — but it usually isn’t. The most common thing we hear is: “I don’t want another shallow grab-for-cash. I want something that feels real.” People want: * Characters who listen and respond * World-building that pulls them in, not interrupts them * A sense of meaningful participation instead of gimmicks * Something easy to engage without spending tons of time or money Most haunted houses and AR apps are built as products first, experiences second. Haunted XR flips that completely. The Breakthrough: Meet HXR — Your First Conversation With Tickle HXR is the early prototype of Haunted XR, and it introduces something you’ve probably never experienced before: A fully interactive AR version of Tickle — a character who actually talks with you. Tickle isn’t a static model. She isn’t a scripted loop. She isn’t a pre-baked animation on a timer. She is: * Present — appearing right in your space through AR * Conversational — listening, responding, adapting * Knowledgeable — ask her about Haunted XR, iMyth, the project, or even her own story * Warm and curious — designed to make the experience feel safe, personal, and genuinely human This isn’t an app that expects you to just “watch.” It’s an immersive experience that invites you to talk, explore, and step into a world, even at the prototype stage. If You’ve Been Waiting for Something Truly New… This Is It Haunted XR isn’t another AR app. It’s a living story delivered through a character you can talk to, question, and grow alongside. And you can be among the first to meet her. Ready to step into the story? Download the HXR prototype and begin your first conversation with Tickle today.
