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.

🎃 Halloween project — work in progress.

An early look at an interactive project I’m developing with Rive, with a focus on animation, atmosphere and visual design.

This screenshot captures a moment in the development process. I’m still refining the experience and testing how everything comes together.

Keeping the full concept under wraps for now. More when it’s ready. 👁️🌲
