🕶️ A view of its user interface (on a dark theme, in v.1.0.0 beta) with an advertising animation in progress, showing an animated image composed of colored curved shapes and text. On either side of the display area are colored menus for setting parameters (on the right, color gradients; on the left, transformation and effects tools), and below, a timeline of the current animation.

📚️ Friction is a libre, multi-platform 2D animation tool (motion design), scalable and high-performance, for creating superb vector (SVG format) and raster animations for web and video platforms. In particular, it lets you work on several scenes at once (with multiple viewers, timelines and graphics, adjustable according to available screen space), apply various customizable effects to graphics (shaders, for example) and text, and for experienced users it can be finely parameterized (ECMAScript script).

🕶️ A view (in 2.5D) of its UI on the 1st training level (on my PC): the protagonist (me) is approaching a glass room where we can discern a ghost (transparent with red eyes, to the left of the central room). At the bottom of the UI, right and left, instruments in the protagonist's right and left hands, taken from his inventory and activated. The rooms are guarded by men in uniform, who also act as guides, providing help when you stay in contact with them for a while.

📚️ Unhaunter: Dare to Face the Unseen is a libre, multi-platform ghost-hunting game that seamlessly blends exploration, puzzle-solving and strategic investigation. The player is a paranormal investigator armed with state-of-the-art equipment, tasked with identifying and expelling restless spirits from haunted locations. To do this, he equips himself with instruments to identify the entities and explores the premises in search of them. The clues gathered (reaction to the instruments, visual & sound manifestations) will be used to identify the entity and concoct a repellent. Beware, however, of its deadly frightening reactions.
