PHANTOM.EXE is an interactive haunted-terminal experience that was built for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge - Week 4: Ghost in the Machine. The project aims to create a spooky, retro-inspired terminal that gives the impression of awakening something digital within the machine.
The terminal features a dark interface with atmospheric visual effects, inspired by retro computers and horror themes. Users can summon a story, interact with a mysterious entity, and decode strange signals. The experience is designed to be accessible through a browser, without requiring a heavy backend setup.
PHANTOM.EXE uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for its interface and behavior, while the optional AI integration connects to an open-weight language model through Hugging Face Inference Providers. The source code is available on GitHub for those interested in exploring, modifying, or contributing to the project.
