Allumette

Allumette is a short VR story about a young orphan living in a fantastical city among the clouds. Loosely inspired by “The Little Match Girl,” it follows themes of hope, a mother-daughter bond, and sacrifice.

You experience events as a silent observer rather than controlling a character. Move around the world, follow the characters, and choose where to look as the story unfolds without spoken dialogue.

The city is presented as a miniature, handcrafted-looking diorama with scenes to view from different distances and angles. There are no puzzles, choices, or branching outcomes; interaction centers on movement and observation.

Reviewers often praise the handcrafted, miniature-world presentation and the emotional storytelling conveyed through animation and visual details rather than dialogue. Some also enjoy being able to move around and inspect scenes in VR. Criticisms include limited interaction and short length, while several players mention image clarity or resolution concerns.
