Short little VR puzzle/art game, with a psychedelic/scifi vibe. A bit like fooling around with the Stargate SG1 tech and then falling into the portal and having 2001 A Space Odyssey experiences. It was quite good but then they tried to shoehorn some weird story into it about a scientist and his wife and a hospital bed; I don't know why they felt the need to ground it. Why can't I just be a consciousness floating in geometry realm? Or is such an idea too intense for your average audience? The music/sound was really painful on the ears, there was this weird out-of-tune violin in the background for the entire game making screeching sounds. Interesting choice but I ended up muting it. Despite my complaints I still feel positive about it for being very creative and experimental with a lot of impressive setpieces.

About the Game
Charm Games brings you FORM, a surreal adventure that unfolds within the confines of the human mind.Dr. Devin Eli is a brilliant physicist at the global technology mega-conglomerate Mindful Laboratories. Working in seclusion at an atmospheric research facility in the Alaskan wilderness, Dr. Eli is on the brink of uncovering the meaning behind a mysterious signal coming from a secret artifact - The Obelisk.
Playing as the gifted Dr. Eli, you have superhuman powers of geometric visualization - the unintended consequence of a childhood trauma. Use your powers to follow the signal through The Obelisk and explore dream-like memories to unlock puzzles in your own mind.

User Reviews
I think this is a great demo to show VR to friends, or to waste an hour or so by yourself. Fun and beautiful but very, very short. Consider waiting for a promotion to buy this.
