NOCTURNE — The Haunted Internet 👁️
What if the internet had a haunted house of its own?
Meet NOCTURNE, an immersive digital horror experience where every recording hides a story, every archive holds a mystery, and the darkness might be hiding something you were never meant to find.
I wanted to go beyond a typical Halloween landing page and create an experience that unfolds as you explore.
🎃 What you'll discover:
A cinematic, surveillance-inspired opening
Five mysterious files in a haunted archive
An unsettling story told through timestamps and recovered recordings
Hidden messages waiting to be uncovered in the dark
An interactive candle ritual
A countdown leading to Halloween night
The idea: Turn scrolling into an exploration of a digital nightmare.
Built for the Rive Halloween Challenge.

Meet Count Echula. A vampire turned into a bat who can only see the street by echolocation, and his sonar only fires when he catches candy on the beat. I built this Halloween rhythm runner with the Rive CLI and a coding agent, with a 3D street and sonar shaders on GPU Canvas. Three songs to try!
Loved this game. Great work.
Take a vampire, a grim reaper and a bat for a midnight ride through a haunted town. Hold to boost over broken track, brake before the big hills, and grab candy to refill your boost. Push your luck too far and your passengers end up splattered across the screen.
Cute!!
Night Post: Letters Find Home
A friendly Halloween puzzle in an original 3D paper village inspired by an Irish street. A small ghost postman has three letters to deliver. Turn the road tiles to connect the postbox to the numbered front doors; every successful delivery reveals a waiting neighbour and warms another home.
Play by tapping the tiles or using keys 1–9. Send a letter only when the road is connected. H gives one useful hint; replay, sound and calm-motion controls are included. The courier follows the visible road curves at a constant travel speed, turns smoothly, and returns along the same route. Roads lock during delivery.
Built with Rive CLI, GPU Canvas, native Rive state machines and data binding. The original procedural village has depth-tested mesh houses, roof slopes, window reveals, paper grain, a letter handoff and antialiasing where supported. Native state transitions animate the delivery stamps. The 57-second walkthrough shows actual public-browser gameplay and real RML, WGSL and Luau source excerpts.
My contribution: I chose the Irish setting and the feeling of finding home, and provided critical design review of geometry and motion. The original mesh artwork, code and animation were developed with AI assistance. No manual Rive Editor work or personal voice recording is claimed. Geometry and synthesized chimes are original; no competitor assets are reused.
