Briefly describe your projects key features and tech stack used
This project is created with Niantic Studio, combining World Effects and Face Effects for an immersive augmented reality experience. One of our key innovations is the ability to switch between the front and main cameras during gameplay. Making it work in the Niantic Studio software was a challenge for our team, and we’re proud to have successfully turned our idea into reality.

What was the inspiration for your project?
The movie Alien: Romulus (2024) and the whole Alien saga, especially the Facehugger, inspired this project. We wanted to capture the intense feeling of danger and suspense from the films, where the Facehugger can appear at any moment. This helped shape the game’s atmosphere and AR experience.
