Forma Vision
Forma is an immersive sandbox RPG where players craft their own emergent stories in a fantasy world overrun by living emotions. The game prioritises dynamic storytelling through interacting systems over traditional quests, combat mechanics and rigid builds.
The aim is to create a world that feels truly alive, an experience unbroken by intrusive "game-y" elements such as skill trees or cooldown timers.
In Forma, you're not playing out a pre-defined role, you start from nothing and discover who your character is as your story unfolds.
