- Cloudhead Games Holiday Bundle - 24 December 2019
Hey all! If you follow our studio, you might know that we released a new game outside of the Gallery series early last month. Pistol Whip is a new kind of action-rhythm FPS, mixing the pulse-pounding pace of an FPS with the flow-state energy of a music game. Pistol Whip is a gameplay departure from our puzzle/adventure fare, but shares a lot of the same values we displayed with The Gallery series and Aperture Hand Lab -- game feel, cinematic styling, and an almost-puzzle-game-like experience turn Pistol Whip from an arcade rail shooter into something unique in VR, with unprecedented player agency as a rhythm game. As part of the Steam Winter Sale, we're introducing a limited time bundle: The Cloudhead Games Holiday Bundle, featuring both episodes of the Gallery and Pistol Whip. Separately, both episodes of The Gallery are 60% off, but as part of the bundle, you can claim an additional 1…
- Summer Sale and Valve Index Support - 26 June 2019
Hi. It's the Summer Sale. Starseed is 60% off. Emberstone is 60% off. Together they're 64% off. I don't know how that math works, but I know you can get both games for under $20. Want more games? Try the Pioneer Bundle for 63% off and get 5 of the best games in VR for a ridiculous low price. Note: If you don't buy the game in the next 15 minutes I'm legally allowed to leave. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F7388622%2F0a048c39ba9ac5d2807c092e2d0d018f5b43564d.png Now that that's out of the way... For the upcoming launch of Valve Index, we've released a set of new controller bindings to add support for the capacitive touch features of Index. What this means for The Gallery is that you can naturally grab objects and interact with the world just by—and I know this is going to sound complicated, but hear me out—reaching out and grabbing. With your real hand. No…

- Game of the Year Celebaration - 50% Off! - 19 October 2018
We're incredibly honoured to say that Heart of the Emberstone took home "Game of the Year" at the 2018 VR Awards! While Emberstone released at the end of last year, we missed the window for the 2017 show and were excited to be in contention for this year's contest. Heart of the Emberstone and The Gallery as a whole has been a labour of love for us from the very beginning of this new era of VR. Among the many action and rhythm games across the platform, we know that story-driven adventure games like The Gallery are a tough sell. We appreciate all of you who have taken the plunge and joined us on this journey to something different, and we hope you can continue to join us for what we've been quietly cooking for the future of VR... In the meantime (you know I gotta do it), if you haven't yet joined the adventure, both Heart of the Emberstone and Call of the Starseed are 50% this weekend. W…

- Episode 2: Heart of the Emberstone is out now! - 18 October 2017
Developing Heart of the Emberstone has been an remarkable journey. This is a VR game that is really unlike anything else in the medium right now. It's a full-fledged story-driven puzzle/adventure game that takes place on a beautiful fantasy planet, built from the ground up to make full use of virtual reality. Narratively, this is a second episode, but in terms of gameplay, scope, and production, the sheer increase in quality and features makes Episode 2 closer to a sequel. An "epi-sequel" if you will. Heart of the Emberstone picks up exactly where Call of the Starseed left off, so if you've been holding off on playing the first episode, now's the perfect time to play them both back-to-back. You even get a 10% discount if you pick up both episodes right now. For those who already own Call of the Starseed, you'll also receive a 10% discount on Episode 2 when using the "Complete the Bundle…

- Finish Call of the Starseed to unlock Elsie's Glove in Heart of the Emberstone! - 22 June 2017
We know there's a few of you out there who have yet to finish Call of the Starseed. Maybe you were stuck on the beach (hint:shoot the bells!). Or maybe it was the fuse puzzle (hint:small tubes = paths with 1 wire, tall tubes = paths with 2+ wires!). But either way, we'd like to offer a fun incentive to finish the game before the release of Episode 2: Heart of the Emberstone this September! Anyone who has already finished Call of the Starseed, or finishes it this summer (such as while the game is 50% off), will unlock an exclusive new glove skin for use in Episode 2. The Gallery has always been about putting YOU in the adventure, and we feel this new customization option will add a little flair to your journey. Your sister may be missing, but that doesn't mean her style has to be! For reference, here's what the gloves currently look like in the game: And here's the new glove skin you'll…

- The Gallery Episode 2 Will Release In September - 15 June 2017
The Gallery - Episode 2: Heart of the Emberstone will release this September. That’s 3 months from now, or the videogame equivalent of a third trimester—but I’ve been advised not to take the pregnancy metaphor further. Or use at it all. Shit. The good news is that we’ve got a big beautiful project in the oven. Heart of the Emberstone is a much larger experience than Episode 1—in both playtime and scope—even larger than we expected. This new date will allow us to add in all sorts of extra details to really flesh out the world the way we want to. Heart of the Emberstone is a story-driven, non-linear adventure game built for roomscale VR. There’s not a whole ton of those out there right now, so we’re taking the opportunity to do it right the first time. If you already own Call of the Starseed, and haven’t yet played it, we’re going to have to sit you down and give you “The Talk.” If you do…
