Gloomy Eyes chooses to tell the story in a micro-scale world, allowing the audience to experience the whole scene in VR and, optionally, zoom in to see the details within the frame.

Playings used different colors to enrich the visual quality; there aren’t many rendering-demanding objects within the scene, and I am having a vivid yet fluid VR experience.
