Cloudhead Games, developer of the forthcoming Oculus Rift title The Gallery: Six Elements, has been teasing a demo of the game with a series of entertaining videos. The ‘Exploration School’ demo will soon hit Kickstarter backers, where they’ll be able to use the Oculus Rift and Razer Hydra in a virtual reality playground to bowl, shoot hoops, fire a paintball gun, and more.

After having previewed a very early alpha of The Gallery: Six Elements, along with the ‘Airworld Teaser‘, the forthcoming Exploration School demo appears to have made significant strides. The virtual reality playground, found inside an abandoned warehouse, will let players bowl, shoot paintball guns, rock climb, play a basketball arcade game, and more. Below is a series of videos recently released by Cloudhead Games teasing the release of the Exploration School demo.

The Exploration School demo shows the commitment of the Cloudhead Games team to virtual reality interactivity with the Razer Hydra. We’re looking forward to stepping into this VR playground!

Kickstarter backers who backed the $45 ‘Exploration School’ tier (and above) will get access to the demo when it’s released, which will happen in Q4 2013, according to the developer.

Cloudhead Games, which raised $82,937 through Kickstarter, has continued crowdfunding on their website, which means it’s not too late to back the Exploration School tier to gain access to the demo when it’s released.
