Gloomy Eyes VR

VR is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing for storytelling Just wish it was a little longer I'd watch a whole ass movie in this style

Gloomy Eyes VR, developed by 3DAR and Atlas V and published by ARTE France, is a narrative-driven virtual reality experience that leans heavily into atmosphere, emotion, and visual artistry rather than traditional gameplay mechanics. Framed as a dark fairy tale, it transports players into a world where the sun has disappeared, plunging humanity into endless night and awakening the dead. Within this perpetual twilight, society fractures under fear and superstition, and zombies—once human—are hunted and forced into hiding. Against this bleak backdrop, the story follows Gloomy, a gentle and introspective young zombie, and Nena, a human girl raised in darkness, whose unlikely bond becomes the emotional core of the experience. Rather than functioning as a conventional VR game with complex mechanics or player-driven problem solving, Gloomy Eyes presents itself more as an interactive animated film. The world unfolds through carefully crafted diorama-style scenes that the player can observe from multiple angles.

Enrapturing and spellbinding for 30 minutes.

Boring and short. Just skip it.

A lovely short Tim Burton-esk VR story with beautiful graphics, animation, sound, and music. To be honest, I was just amazed how a VR experience like this could be on par with a 3D (stop) animation movie in theaters but in VR! One thing though, at this time of writing, make sure you stand in your room instead of sitting in your couch for the best VR experience. I didn't mind myself, because that's how I like to do VR. But just so you know.

A really cute little vr story. Graphics, Sound and Story are all wonderful I dont know how they come up with these ideas! There is no interaction as such but that is totally fine. You stand in the middle whilst it all happens around you so you'll probably want to stand up or get a swivel chair. This one is quite dark so on my quest 3 the blacks are very grey and the resolution isnt high enough to full appreciate the amazing level of detail but still highly recommended none the less. On micro 4k oled headset this will look jaw dropping im sure. I'll be back to try it when i get one!
