🎃 AFTERHOURS — The Carnival That Crawls
What if an abandoned carnival wasn't abandoned at all, but something alive?
AFTERHOURS is an interactive 3D Halloween experience that invites visitors into a mysterious miniature carnival filled with supernatural attractions, atmospheric lighting, and eerie motion.
I wanted to create a Halloween world that feels alive rather than a conventional static animation. The experience combines exploration, environmental storytelling, and interactive motion to bring the haunted carnival to life.
Built using: Rive CLI and GPU Canvas, with custom 3D visuals, animation, and real-time effects.
Created for the Rive Halloween Challenge 2026.

A carnival that feels alive, not looped. Good luck in the challenge, Ishan. How long did the lighting take to get right?

Thank you! Took quite a bit of tweaking to get the lighting and atmosphere just right.
