Sky Castle Gallery
Discover Sky Castle, a stunning 3D virtual gallery floating above the clouds. Experience immersive digital art in five unique color themes.
Step into The Haunted Castle, a chilling 3D haunted gallery designed for the dark art community. This immersive space, built for Halloween, transports visitors to a gothic nightmare where art and atmosphere collide. Nestled between heaven and hell, this supremely dark haunted castle echoes with the screams of long-forgotten landlords. Dare to cross the Bridge of the Brave and explore its shadowy halls, where every corner holds a story. Begin in a misty cemetery, cross a narrow bridge over a dark abyss, and enter the imposing castle filled with gothic elements. Inside, discover rooms showcasing dark artwork—from digital paintings to interactive 3D creations—illuminated by candlelight and shadow.
Originally released in 2022 on Oncyber, this gallery has captivated over 70 unique owners. In 2024, we adapted it for Nifty Island by turning it into modular 3D assets, launching a quest that drew multiple hundreds to our Haunted Castle island for spooky games. You can buy it on OpenSea, explore the Nifty Island pack, or visit the island on Nifty Island.

I just set up my gallery tonight, and the experience of setting up the Haunted Castle gallery was quite easy. It is laid out in a way that makes sense and is a great way to thematically display your work. The attention to detail is superb, as all of the shapes and structures are rendered beautifully. I can’t wait to set up another gallery from Art Unchained.

I find it particularly thrilling to see builders in the web3 space pushing the boundaries of what’s been thought possible on any given platform, and this is the second time I’ve been caught pleasantly off-guard by the Art Unchained team’s work in oncyber: first with oncyber.io/au_cyberpunk (after a friend sent it to me and I was like “whaaa–“), and once again with oncyber.io/au_thehauntedcastle. From the thoughtfully planned architectural design (mapped out by actual IRL architects on the team), to the Dark Souls-esque user journey from spawn to the castle walls — and even the subtle aesthetic accents, like small dabs of candlelight meticulously baked into the walls — Art Unchained’s message is clear: metaverse architecture is art.

Creating an extraordinary virtual space isn’t just about assembling 3D assets. At Art Unchained, we weave compelling narratives into every pixel, building immersive worlds that resonate with your audience and embody your unique story.
The vision for The Haunted Castle began with a bold idea: create a 3D haunted gallery that feels like stepping into a gothic nightmare. We researched dark art trends and gothic architecture to ensure authenticity. The lore—featuring the Bridge of the Brave and echoing screams—was crafted to add depth and intrigue. Through mood boards and sketches, we mapped out the user journey, from the misty cemetery entrance to the interactive art rooms, ensuring every element enhanced the haunting atmosphere of this haunted castle. The goal was to build a space that showcases dark artwork while immersing visitors in a seamless, sinister narrative.
With the vision set, our team used Blender to bring the 3D haunted gallery to life. We modeled the cemetery, bridge, and haunted castle, focusing on gothic details like spires and arches. The interior rooms were designed to feel grand yet intimate, with custom lighting to highlight the dark artwork. Interactive elements were added, such as the possibility to buy the gallery directly from within the 3D space. The challenge was balancing the spooky atmosphere with functionality—ensuring the space was navigable while retaining its haunting charm. Every texture and shadow was crafted to deepen the immersion of this virtual haunted castle exhibition.
The final step was refining the 3D haunted gallery for performance and immersion. We tested across devices to ensure smooth navigation and fast load times. Lighting and textures were adjusted to perfect the gothic ambiance of the haunted castle, balancing shadow and illumination. Beta testers explored the space, offering feedback on interactive elements and the overall atmosphere. After fine-tuning, The Haunted Castle emerged as a polished virtual gallery, inviting visitors to lose themselves in its dark, artistic depths—a unique showcase for dark artwork and a thrilling seasonal experience.
