🌕 HITODAMA — The lake is silent.
An interactive psychological horror experience inspired by Japanese folklore. You play as a lone ferryman crossing mysterious waters where drifting fog, strange shadows, and the unknown turn a quiet journey into something unsettling.
What I built:
- A cinematic, moonlit 3D lake environment.
- A custom WGSL fog shader running on Rive's GPU Canvas.
- An interactive Haunt slider that lets you intensify the atmosphere.
- Rive-powered effects built using the Rive CLI, Rive Markup Language, Luau scripting, and data binding.
The lake environment was the foundation. For the @Rive Halloween Challenge, I wanted to push it further by creating a supernatural layer that responds to the player instead of remaining a static visual effect.
This project was an exploration of how code, shaders, and interactive design can turn an atmospheric scene into an experience.
So, Ready to cross the lake?
i am too stunned by the graphics, textures as well as with the idea
Thanks! really appreciate that.

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!!
Before we move on to some client collaborations, a last post about the new LUCERRÁ digital experience to wrap it up.
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.
