Allumette

A great movie and excellent art style. Get it!

Cool little experience. Not sure where the audio is though.

Allumette, developed and published by Penrose Studios, is less a game and more an intimate virtual reality narrative that demonstrates how storytelling can evolve when the viewer is placed inside the world itself. Built specifically for VR, it abandons traditional gameplay structures in favor of a fully immersive, observational experience.

Lovely little VR animated short! It was made for older VR hardware, so the is not visually top notch anymore, but it is not really a problem. Too bad the resolution can't be increased (at least as far as I can tell). Very enjoyable!

Possibly designed for low resolution headsets. It wound be nice if this could be fixed. If you have a basic low rez setup, I fully recommend it.
