The Gallery (formerly The Gallery: Six Elements) is an episodic virtual reality video game developed and published by Cloudhead Games for the HTC Vive. The game uses the Unity game engine, and was inspired by 80s fantasy adventures like The Goonies and Myst.[1]
Development
The game had a successful Kickstarter campaign and raised about $85,000.[2] In August 2015, the game dropped the "Six Elements" subtitle in favor of subtitles for each episode.[3] At least four episodes are planned.[4]
Ports to the Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR are currently in development.[5]
Release and reception
The game's first episode, "Call of the Starseed," released as a launch title for the HTC Vive in April 2016. Call of the Starseed received critical acclaim, with Time (magazine) including it in its "best 5 HTC Vive launch games." As of July 2016, the game remains the third highest rated HTC Vive game across VR game reviewers. [6]
Episode 2 will be titled Heart of the Emberstone.[7]
