Absolutely Blown Away By Another Animation - "Allumette"

Another freebie on Oculus Home today - i recognised who it was from (Penrose Studios) so grabbed it immediately - if anybody remembers The Rose and I (possibly only on Gear VR?) you'll know how good this new one is, called Allumette.

Well it's pure genius.  Like all VR experiences, choose a quiet time, relax and enjoy.

This one said it recommended you stand, so I did, and then realized I would have enjoyed it more seated.

I stood for the first half due to the recommendation, but then I got lazy and sat back down.

Man i thought so too, imo its the best one I've seen yet.

Sooo was it suggesting that the little girl died at the end? Gave away her sparkler thing & froze to death maybe? That was just my immediate thought when it showed her with her mom

@jmalmsten Couldn't agree more. After watching Henry I was so disappointed since there had been so much buzz about it. Allumette, on the other hand, was amazing, though I didn't really care for that stop-motion movement of the characters. Almost thought I was having FPS-problems in the beginning.

If Penrose makes a longer, paid movie in the future, I will definitely buy it for a reasonable price.

I hadn't really thought about it. But I think you're right. Damn, that's depressing!

Love the style! Animation is really great in VR and keeps making me want to make my own! 🙂

It's based on The Little Match Girl - didn't you read that when you were younger?

Little dissappointed that they went with the "stop motion"-ish jerky animation that the developers of "Colosse" abandonned.

Otherwise lovely.
