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!
VR denemek için bence oynanabilir hoş duruyor oyun artı olarak.
Loverly emotive vr movie, unfortunatly it hasn't aged well. On my Pimax Super the game requires my head to be 10cm from the objects to appear sharp, the game appears to intentionally blur the objects further away. 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.

Un corto gratuito de 15-20 minutos que me recuerda al cuento de "La cerillera". Gráficamente esta bien aunque parece que tiene baja resolución al ver los personajes algo difuminados.
Nota: El juego puede salirte sin sonido. Para solucionarlo tienes con el ratón marcar la ventana del juego para poder escucharlo en las VR.

"Allumette" is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this "art experience".
Instead of being a game, "Allumette" is a software application that presents a poorly made VR Youtube video.
This is a poorly done Youtube video ripping off themes from Hans Christian Anderson. Youtube videos from failed filmmakers are not games.
We get this non-game shovelware on Steam whenever your usual film school dropout can't get anyone to watch their stuff on Youtube so they turn to Steam Direct to try get their art published somewhere so they can finally dream of moving out of their parents basement.
For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game.
Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop.
There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played".
This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process.
Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software/non-interactive "art experiences" on Steam:
[url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url]
It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a non-game "art experience" being published in the wrong place.
Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers.
There are no gameplay loops in this rejected Youtube video, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. As such, this has no merit as a video game for gamers, and so I cannot recommend this non-game as a game to gamers.
Still one of the best things in VR
Allumette is a visually enchanting 20-minute VR short film, loosely inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Match Girl. Set in a dreamy city in the clouds, it follows a young girl and her mother as they sell magical matches from a flying ship. With no spoken dialogue, the story unfolds through expressive animation and immersive world-building. With no spoken dialogue, the story unfolds through expressive animation and immersive world-building. Its gentle pacing enhances the experience, allowing the stunning visuals and heartfelt themes to shine, making Allumette a truly beautiful and poignant journey.

The story of a young female serial killer, abandoned, cold and alone on the streets of a fascist Italian city floating in the clouds, looking for her next kill. You experience her slow descent into madness and blood thirsty killing in flashbacks telling the story of her mother's struggle to find market fit for their latest invention: LSD on the end of a stick. Her mother resorts to propositioning the local overzealous OSHA inspector, after he tries to fine and shutdown her business for having no safety railing capable of stopping falls over 4 feet. You will watch as our intrepid young character struggles, and finally cracks, with the burden of accidentally murdering her single parent mother with her shoddy mechanic skills. Faced with the choice of saving her mother, or saving the remaining LSD, her drug addiction makes her choice for her. The film ends as she viciously murders a helpless hobo, after giving him LSD, and dumping his body overboard to fall among the clouds. Her killing and LSD addiction is now the only way she can feel close to her mother, to imagine herself in her arms again. Fade to black.
None of the above was true, It's just the twisted alternate story my mind made up while I was bored watching this thing. This is a pretty old and boring animated short film. This is obviously a passion project for a small group of people, so I feel bad ragging on it too badly. However, In my opinion, it is not really worth the time to watch. Novel at the time it was made, it really is showing it's age, and I just don't think it ever really took advantage of what the VR medium can offer, even at the time it was made.
About 18 minutes long, it hijacked my PSVR2 headset with some sort of external 3D Windows Media device player, with no ability to change the scaling, aliasing, graphics, etc, and no way to get back to steam VR without Keyboard and Mouse. The result is the entire thing is ran at a super low resolution, with no super sampling or anti aliasing present after it is blown up to the high resolution of the OLED display on the PSVR2. It looks terrible, there is no real engagement or wow factor for this being in VR, and the film is kind of schmaltzy, slow, and boring. The intro with the windows/silhouettes is kind of cool, It has nice music and animation, but no voice acting, real characters, or interesting plot to speak of. The entire thing never changes the viewer's camera angle, focal point, beyond your own limited head movement, so it can't frame the scenes and convey emotion, urgency, etc. like a director and editor would do in traditional film media. It just kind plays out like a small diorama in front of you, where you are a hovering, bored, omniscient, presence. If anything it really made me think "is this the boredom god feels when he watches tragedy play out and he is unable to intervene?", so i guess that was something.
I am really surprised it even ran at all.
I think it took me longer to write this, than it did to watch it.
Magnificient.
Short, sweet, and strange. Low resolution though, but what can you expect from a 7+ year old game? Plus it's free! It's worth your time for sure.
No Sound...
I really enjoyed this. A wonderful VR experience. Very sad story though :(
I hope the devs make more of these stories.
Жена сказала, что если на этом обзоре наберётся 10 лайков и 5 наград, то она подарит ящик пива. Мужики, выручайте!
Incredibly short, but also worth it.
Very fun, cute but short animation. Perfect to introduce your family members to VR!
good sense in the game,makes me impressed
The story was rather boring. Even though the game is super short, they managed to drag it out much more than necessary. Characters are having fake dialogue for a long time, take forever to walk, etc. I felt like nothing was happening more than half of the time.
An emotional little VR film.
Очень трогательная VR-история
☀️
Allumette（アリュメット）はクレイアニメや人形アニメーションなどの「コマ撮りアニメ」の雰囲気を持つアニメーションの小作品です。
この作品をコマ撮りアニメとして見ると、眼の前にいるミニチュアのキャラクターが目の前で自由自在に動き回ることに驚愕します。
ミニチュアのキャラクターの作り込みを覗き込んで観察することも（その間にも動き続けます）、場面を引いて俯瞰して見ることも自由です。
そしてキャラクターは見えない所に居る間にも演技をし続けます。その裏側で動き続けるキャラクターたちを「裏を覗いて」見ることもできます。
これらの体験を通して、キャラクターが生き生きとしていると実感できます。
コマ撮りアニメの世界にほんとうに入ることができたんだ、ほんとうに...。（涙）
感性に直接訴えかけてくる表現力を持つ、小さいが力強い作品です。
No gameplay, but it's free so if you have 20mn to spare, go for it.
[h2]Beautiful visuals, boring and confusing story [/h2]
I played this with a friend watching. And to be honest, while it's not a terrible experience by any means, I don't think it's very good.
The intro was honestly the biggest highlight for me. The windows slowly lighting up, with that cool perspective trick where you could see the silhouettes moving as you move your head. That was clever and honestly quite pretty.
But beyond that, I didn't find myself enjoying much of it. Firstly, the movie has this sort of "low frame claymation" style to it, which is very jarring in VR; it almost seems like the game is lagging, and it doesn't look good.
The story is nothing to write home about. While I liked the moral and the payoff, the story around the message they were trying to show is messy at best, and the ending feels very rushed. Both my friend and I were left like "wait... that's it?" and that's honestly a shame.
Again, not a bad game, but I wouldn't say it's good either. I would say it's somewhat mediocre. It has some good visuals, some nice music, and that's about it. If you have 15 minutes, I guess it's worth your time.
I would give it a
[h2]4/10[/h2]
This movie proves to me that VR can stretch far beyond games. Storytelling through VR is going to be amazing! This movie is just a glimpse to how it will be!
Get it while it's free! Get it while it costs! It doesn't matter! Just get it!
would be magical
sadly lags and blurry
heavy lag
Alors 1° ce n'est pas un jeu, c'est un film : aucune interaction... à part pour le lancement, où c'est marqué "appuyer sur A", alors qu'en fait, il faut regarder le A de Allumette (et attendre, sans rien à appuyer !!!)
2° l'histoire : quand le hold-up pour forcer une extorsion de larmes est trop "voyant", j'ai beaucoup de mal...
Enfin : la musique/bruitage sont super agréables. Le rendu visuel est exceptionnel. (Il vaut mieux avoir de la place pour pouvoir se déplacer).
Bref, vu le prix, je conseille.
很感人的视频，让我想起童话“卖火柴的小女孩”，这短片也是我钟情VR的主要原因，给我感官上的全新体验
Enjoyed it.
Allumette, genç bir kız ile annesi arasındaki aşk, fedakarlık ve derin bir bağ hakkında bir hikaye anlatıyor.
为什么现在播放不了
Dziewczynka z zapałkami ale vr. Baja na jakieś 20 minutek. W sumie jak za darmo to całkiem spoczko żeby sobie na spokojnie siąść i obejrzeć.

Habe das mit der Pico 4 benutzt die Geschichte Allumette.
Man benötigt bei dem nur das Headset und die Controller benötigt ihr gar nicht.
Ihr kommt ins Menü rein und denkt wo ist der Button Starten.
Er startet die Geschichte wenn ihr Allumette Schriftzug anschaut und immer gelber wird der Schriftzug dann startet er die Geschichte.
Die Geschichte ist toll mit den Hintergründe, Charaktere usw. super rüber gesetzt und toll die Geschichte bis zum Ende anzuschauen mit dem kompletten Abspann hat es so 38 Minuten gedauert.
Wer Höhenangst habt ihr seit in der Luft würde ich glaube abraten oder ein Stuhl zu nehmen oder ein Hocker,
Das es kostenlos auch ist könnt ihr da die Geschichte mit der VR Brille gerne genießen.
Es lohnt sich auf jedenfall.

Have used the Allumette story with the Pico 4.
You only need the headset and you don't need the controllers at all.
You come into the menu and think where is the Start button.
He starts the story when you look at Allumette lettering and the lettering becomes more and more yellow then he starts the story.
The story is great with the backgrounds, characters, etc. super set and great to watch the story to the end with the full credits, it took about 38 minutes.
If you are afraid of heights, you are in the air, I would advise against taking a chair or a stool,
Since it's also free, you can enjoy the story with the VR glasses.
Definitely worth it.
В целом хорошая игра. Лайк разработчикам
nichts besonderes.Ich fand es langweilig.
Doesn't work correctly on valve index
A pretty and moving short "movie" experience. Just stand up and watch it - it's worth your time. :)
Грустный мультик в полном ВР. Рекомендую к просмотру, тем более что он бесплатный.
Molt bo! màgic! com tots els que fan. Una nova experiència. Molt recomanable.
Замечательная история истолкованная без слов за 17 минут. За такое даже денег не жалко было бы, а за бесплатно таки кошерно
This is a well done little short, like most of the rest of the former Google shorts you can now watch through Steam. I don't know that they all deserve to be separate programs, and there is minimal interaction of course, but the story is well told (if somewhat basic) and the visuals are truly stunning (IMO). If you like animated shorts, this is a treat.
cool story , now if gaming could only get as imaginative as this ..!!!
I hope to see more movies like this in the near future, maybe even new series, let make steam the next VR netflix
Чудесное кукольное представление в VR
What an amazing commentary on the migratory habits of jelly fish. I never thought there was such an extreme impact on our geo-political climate!! Amazingly written with such a clear story. While being a supportive person to the LGBTQ+ communities, I do think that was a little much to cram in there. But I cried for 72 hours without stopping; So who am I to comment negatively on that?
10/10 - I ate a squirrel for dinner and Joe Biden did nothing wrong.
[h1] Коробок спичек [/h1]
Интересный "мульт" в котором несколько спичек и в них по одной истории.
beautiful short animate scene, interesting experience
A short story filled with love and compassion.
The art and animations are really good, adorable, and feels like a storybook come to life. The sound track was absolutely amazing as well.
Although, the story was clever but I don't think I was able to appreciate it as others. Worth checking out.
[spoiler] WHY DID NOBODY LOOK UP?! [/spoiler]
8/10
Beautiful and emotional short film about the girl with the matchsticks.
Unfortunately no options for graphics or anything else.
somewhat washed out graphics, but for free.
Played on HTV Vive Pro/WIreless/Vive Wands/RTX2060Super.
This is a very beatiful vr story, it's about 15-20 minutes.
I really love the graphics.
Sadly it seems it hasn't been updated for newer higher resolution headsets, as everything is very fuzzy, except when you are really close up. It's like they deliberately have some out of focus setting when you are at regular viewing distances of the scene. And that's a real shame. They should update it or at least make it optional/user preference. This animation really deserves the sharpness all around, not only at close distance, you really have to lean into the animation to see everything sharp.
As it's free, you really should check it out, it really is a beautiful animation.
bien mais très court

Love it.
Very nice story to watch in VR
Short little animation. Quite okay-ish for 2016.
Low res, aesthetically unappealing, and boring.
游戏品质如何就不提了，很多人都讲过了。
我只想提一个建议，故事发生在云上的城市，母女二人的交通工具又是在天上飞的木船。我们为何不大胆一点，直接将母亲复活不就好了。现实是残酷的，童话是残酷的，在虚构的世界里，我只想要那瞬间的暖心一笑，而不是失落后的冰冷思考。
An immersive vignette-- heart-rending, and well worth the download.
e.e
Beautiful and sad.
Just some technical issues on my Index due to its age. It has a low fixed resolution and you cannot change the centre.
I got flashbanged 3 seperate times by torch girl, she deserved what happened to her. 5/10

画风不错，叙事也可。剧情也许感人，但是着实有点强行。
약 15분 짜리 단편 만화영화임
게임이 아님 vr 입문용으로 괜찮은 작품
I appreciate this for what it is. It's fairly old, came out when VR was still very new and these types of experiences were few and far between.
It's free so the most you have to lose is 10-20 minutes of you time.
But if I'm being honest, this one didn't do it for me. I like the more cinematic style VR experiences but the animation in this one made me feel like I was chugging along at a bad FPS. I wanted to like it I just couldn't help but be distracted. I ended up not finished the whole movie.
In my opinion your time is better spent with other experiences.
vr电影，推荐玩玩看，但是整部作品没有太凸显vr的特性，反倒是剧情挺好。
small movie
done in unreal engine
arround 20 mins
liked it
Very touching , cute and beautiful short story (about 20 minutes) about a little girl and her mum.
This video shows what VR can bring to the movie table. Great watch! I loved the birds' eye perspective.
простой кукольный мульт, есть и лучше с более скромным анонсом, разок можно посмотреть
While I can appreciate the effort put into this free VR experience, I didn’t care much for it. I felt that the story wasn’t very captivating and could have been condensed down to 5 minutes or less. The jerky visuals didn’t help either; stop frame type of animation isn’t a great fit for VR.
很感人的小故事，场景灯光画面让人特别舒服，没想到有这么好的免费体验的作品！
so amazing story make me cry 9.5/10
Succinct, well-made, emotional, and well made ending.
Pequeña historia que la verás como una gran maqueta. No me ha transmitido nada porque es tan corta y simple que no llegas a simpatizar con los personajes. Además, para ver en condiciones tienes que llegar a acercarte mucho, porque si no, verás borrones. Le pondría algún sistema para hacer zoom y estar más cómodo viéndola.
Very cool concept, would love to see more short films for vr!
Beautiful. Haunting. Sad. A tale about the love of family and sacrifice, with really interesting scenery and well worth the time to sit down and watch.
I've played this game a few times and I still can't quite decide whether or not it's a great game. It's definitely one of those games which you can play once but after that it's very uncertain.
Lovely, emotional, short, and free. Would love to see more VR movies.
This is very touching and heartwarming story that is even better in VR! Short stories/films in VR is such an excellent idea and adds a whole new perspective to the content. Being able to walk around and get closer to the action really adds to the experience. It is short, only about 20mins, but it's a great experience for people who are new to VR. I played this on Quest 2 via AirLink. Hats off to the creative team! It being free makes it even better.
It's pretty meh TBH.
感人的故事
Cool animated short. VR adds another dimension to the viewing experience since the player can roam around while the story goes on. The story itself wasn't anything special in my opinion. Not bad experience overall though. 3.5/5.
mignon comme tout mais triste

A free animated VR movie that takes about 20 minutes to watch.
There are no user interactions, so it's literally just a movie you watch in 3D. The animations are gorgeous, but unfortunately there's not much else to say about it. It's a cute art project, but I'm not sure that makes it worth my time.
10 minutes in, the sound suddenly cut out for me. There's no way to fast-forward, so I ended up having to watch the last half on Youtube. It ends as you'd expect.
This is a great tech demo of what VR might one day be used to achieve. But as a movie, it's not really something worth watching.
Like one of these Pixar short films... but as a great VR experience. Enjoyed it very much :)
Piękna i wzruszająca animacja mówiąca o tym, co tak naprawdę w życiu jest najważniejsze. Wizualnie i muzycznie równie wspaniała, świetne efekty 3d VR.
Masterpiece, must check out
Wunderschöner Kurzfilm. Kann man sehr gut nutzen um jemanden das erstmalige VR Erlebnis angenehm zu gestalten
A very interesting way to tell a story, a bit like a stop motion theater show, I thoroughly enjoyed the experiance!
O bom desse jogo ser VR é que eu posso chorar e ninguém vê.
É uma historinha rápida de uma menina e sua mãe em um mundo nas nuvens.
Não há interação: é só assistir.
Vale tirar 15 minutos pra ver :)
A+
Awful, seriously don't play this. No voice acting so everything is off of grunts. No real plot. Like 15 fps animation. Dragged out, could have been condensed into less than 5 minutes. "Sad" my left nut. The ending was garbage.
Short & sweet.
Not a waste of time, but not extraordinary.
If you like any of the Henry Selick animations, that's what this reminds me of.
Kostenloser kleiner VR Film. Für VR-Neulinge ganz praktisch um zu sehen, was alles so möglich ist
The saddest little VR mini movie I have yet seen. It's still worth watching, highly recommended, but bring your hankie and a washable face cushion :-)
Most impressive aspect was that internal modelling of e.g. the flying ship was complete. If you stick your face into the ship you can see a fully-realised interior. Also, the detail/resolution increases with proximity. If you put your face really close to the characters, very fine additional detail emerges (good work devs!); but distant objects are rendered a bit fuzzy which probably saves on GPU cycles.
It's a rather lovely, melancholy little tale of generosity, loss, loneliness and loyalty. Take the few minutes to experience it -- it suggests new worlds for storytelling. I'm imagining retellings of Andersen's fairy tales (or Grimm's!) in this amazing medium. The level of detail is limited only by the developer's willingness and the hardware.
К сожалению, в этом продукте нет русской локализации.
It is not supported without VR
