I did a thing... you can talk to the box now.

So I've been messing around with local AI models and kind of fell down a rabbit hole. What started as a random idea turned into... this.

It's an interactive experience set in the Hellraiser universe. Two AI personas you can talk to — Vérité, a research archivist from the LeMarchand Centre for Mechanical Antiquities, and Moret, who is... well, you'll see. They know different things. They don't always agree. The lore gets deep.

3D puzzle box that reacts to the conversation. Ambient soundscapes per persona (put on headphones — trust me). Distinct voices for each entity. Session saving so you can pick up where you left off.

Works with cloud AI services (OpenAI, OpenRouter, etc.) or runs completely offline with a local model if your machine can handle it. Your conversations stay on your machine.

Still polishing it up but if there's interest I'll open source the whole thing. Built it over a weekend, honestly still kind of in shock at how well the lore generation works.
