The Night Clerk
A haunted lost-and-found office. Open three drawers to recover your shadow, a borrowed heartbeat and a letter posted tomorrow. The ghost follows your pointer, rises when a drawer opens and reacts to each discovery.
Built with Rive CLI, editable RML vectors and text, Luau interactions, data binding and an original WGSL shader on GPU Canvas. The shader adds quiet drifting fog and a warmer glow when the clerk wakes. A default Rive state machine keeps the scene and bindings active.
Click or tap the drawers, or use keys 1, 2 and 3. R starts again; M reduces ambient motion. The 33-second walkthrough shows the working scene and a short excerpt from the actual RML source.

Night Shift — The Haunted Control Room
A fictional haunted control panel inspired by engineering work: flip a breaker, tune a dial to 92 Hz and drag a signal plug into its socket. Each repair restores the room and changes the ghost’s expression; Replay Shift starts a new night.
Built with the Rive CLI, original vector RML, Luau scripting, data binding and native state machines. GPU Canvas runs a WGSL shader for fog, signal distortion and ghost aura trails. The 50-second video includes real CLI-rendered interactions, RML and build evidence.
This is new AI-assisted work created for the challenge. I selected the engineering-inspired concept and delegated the visual direction and production to my assistant. Artwork, code and walkthrough are AI-assisted; no manual human Rive Editor refinements are claimed. The required publication watermark is retained.

👻 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
DOMOVOI is a complete horror game inside a single Rive file.
Halloween night. You're a technician locked in the server room of an empty smart home. The system has detected an "unknown resident" and opens the locks only when you photograph it.
How to play (2-4 min, sound on):
Catch the resident with IR SNAPSHOT: the camera must point at the exact room and zone it is in.
Listen: each room has its own sound. Hover and click things in the picture; the technician's remarks are the only hints.
CAM 3 is offline. Fixing it is the first puzzle and leads to a device that shows where the resident is.
Every miss adds 20% SIGNAL INTERFERENCE. At 100% the console dies.
Stuck? CAM 2 RIGHT: router, then the wall socket, POWER, router again. CAM 3 LEFT: click the vacuum, open MAP, send it to a zone, snapshot the red mark.
Built with the Rive CLI and an AI agent (RML + Luau, 192 unit tests), a GPU Canvas WGSL shader for the camera feed, data binding and state machines. Sound from the Rive editor's library, voice recorded by me.
