Point your camera. A spirit appears. Seal it. Spirit Realm Hunter is a folk-horror ghost hunt that plays out in your own home. Dark corners, potted plants, the kitchen sink, under the bed — every kind of place draws its own kind of spirit. Find it through your phone's camera, bind it with hand seals, then perform the release ritual so it can finally rest. Sword Fingers, Thunder Seal, Binding Seal, Fire Seal, Vanguard Seal and the final Sealing — each with its own effect in battle.

Could you build this?

Partial A basic AR ghost-hunt prototype is achievable with ARKit/ARCore, but reliable hand-seal gesture recognition, surface placement and polished game feel require real game and AR engineering beyond vibe coding alone.

What it would actually take: Build in Unity with AR Foundation (or native ARKit/ARCore), using a hand-tracking model such as MediaPipe Hands for seal gestures and plane/mesh detection for spawn placement. The hard parts are robust gesture classification across lighting and devices, performance on mid-range phones, and the game design and art pipeline. This needs a mobile AR developer and a game designer or artist.
