VERNALIA STUDIO FIELD NOTE / 001

Building digital homes for stories

Vernalia creates interactive websites and digital experiences for stories that want to be more than something you read or look at. Narrative, interaction, and code are developed together to build spaces that can be explored, disrupted, returned to, and remembered.

A practice built around interaction

Vernalia is an independent studio making interactive websites and digital experiences for artists, musicians, authors, and publishers. Some become companion worlds. Some become puzzles or experiments. Some are difficult to name until they exist.

We design the experience and build the system behind it together, using interaction, narrative, and code as materials rather than treating them as separate layers.

Recent records

LOG_01 REF: ORPHEUS & EURYDICE STATUS: STABLE
TYPE: NARRATIVE CONSTRAINT DATE: SPRING 2026
OBSERVATION:

The narrative holds as long as movement remains one-directional.

INITIATE DESCENT

A Living Myth

An interactive retelling of the Orpheus myth built around a single rule: the descent cannot be reversed. Scroll becomes movement, movement becomes consequence, and the story eventually asks what happens when the rule gives way.

LOG_02 REF: SHADES OF MAGIC STATUS: SPECULATIVE
TYPE: WORLD SYSTEM DATE: SUMMER 2026

Four worlds were found occupying the same structure. Their boundaries do not remain fixed.

STABILIZING SIGNAL

A World of Magic

A four-world companion experience built around movement between distinct narrative systems. Each world follows its own rules, and the boundary between them is part of the experience.

LOG_03 REF: [ REDACTED ] STATUS: UNDER CULTIVATION
TYPE: TEMPORAL_RECORD DATE: UNKNOWN

The record is currently too young to sustain observation.

MONITORING GROWTH

010001010100110101010000

A durational artifact that changes with repeated observation. The state of the world is not fixed at first contact; its record accumulates over time.
