“With The Gallery, Cloudhead is creating a completely new design language to immerse users in an interactive world that transcends traditional storytelling. We’ve thrown out the rulebook and created a story that’s really only possible inside virtual reality,” said Cloudhead CEO / Creative Director, Denny Unger in a statement.
The Gallery – Episode 2: Heart of the Emberstone will take around four to six hours to complete the studio reckons and it’ll cost $29.99 USD on Steam, Oculus Home and Viveport.

Inspired by classic 80’s fantasy, including Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, a synopsis of the story explains: “After following your sister Elsie to the world of Ember, you discover the remnants of a destroyed civilization, torn apart by two siblings and their individual quests for power. Along the way you meet a mountainous ally who, like you, is looking for their other half. Using the Gauntlet, a mysterious new power capable of manipulating energy, you must unravel the history of this forgotten place, and reveal the true intentions of the dark figure who sent you here.”
