👻 What if one interaction could break the veil between our world and the spirits?
For my first-ever Contra challenge, I built a haunted interactive experience in Rive candles, spirits, shadows, and a veil slowly falling apart.
A small Halloween experiment with a big goal: make it feel alive. 🎃🕯️
Wow...Fabulous. This is amazing project@Abdullah

Gary's Haunted Porch is an interactive cartoon-horror scene built with the Rive CLI, RML, Luau scripting, state machines, data binding, and a custom WGSL GPU layer. Knock on the door to trigger a tense buildup followed by a monster jump scare, a one-candy skeleton, or Boo-Boo arriving too late. The Scare Meter drives the fog, heartbeat vignette, candle flicker, trembling, and Gary's red eyes, while SPACE cuts every light and leaves only eyes in the dark.
Very nice
All Eyes on You!!👀
100 eyes. One cursor. And absolutely nowhere to hide.
Built for the Rive Halloween Challenge with RML, Luau, and WGSL shaders.
looking scary af 🔥
I built NIGHT.OS, an interactive haunted operating system that slowly becomes aware of the person using it.
What begins as a clean, futuristic desktop interface gradually turns into a possessed UI. A mysterious creature appears, watches and follows the cursor, manipulates interface elements, and eventually takes control of the system. The experience ends with a glitch-driven reveal before resetting back to the seemingly normal desktop.
I used Rive CLI to establish the interactive UI structure and RML workflow, then refined the visual direction, character, motion, interactions, and transitions in Rive. I also used GPU Canvas effects to create atmospheric distortion, CRT-style glitches, flickering light, fog, and visual reactions around the creature.
The goal was to make Halloween feel less like a collection of spooky graphics and more like an interactive story where the interface itself becomes the haunted character.
