Something appeared on the desktop.

It cannot be deleted. It is quietly growing. And even when you are not watching, time continues to pass for it.

FORM is an atmospheric idle life simulation about raising a mysterious digital entity that lives on the RÆLOS desktop. Feed it, interact with it, observe its behavior, and respond to its needs. The care routine you establish shapes FORM's development, the state of the system, and the encounters waiting ahead.

This is not only a game about raising an entity. As FORM changes, the desktop changes with it; new files, quests, processes, games, and words whose meaning you do not yet understand begin to appear.

Time passes even while you are away

When you leave the game, FORM does not freeze and wait for you. When you return, the time that passed is reflected in RÆLOS: FORM may have grown, its needs may have changed, it may have moved closer to a new phase, or it may have begun to carry the marks of your absence.

Check in for short care sessions, focus on quests and minigames, or stay away longer and discover what changed when you return. Offline progression does not finish the game for you; active care, observation, and resource management remain important.

Raise FORM and learn its behavior

FORM's hunger, fatigue, happiness, neglect, and danger state are reflected in its behavior. You learn to read it not only through numbers, but through its movement, sound, appearance, and the traces it leaves across RÆLOS.

Feed it, interact with it, observe it, and use phase-specific actions when the time is right. Beginning as a small seed, FORM passes through ten distinct growth phases, each with its own visual identity and behavior.

Explore a playable desktop

RÆLOS is more than a background. It is an interactive desktop environment with windows, applications, and an internal structure of its own.

• Investigate records, hidden folders, and newly appearing files in the file explorer.

• Browse forums, news, system pages, and the hardware shop on RÆLOS Net.

• Follow RÆLMAIL messages, notifications, and system logs.

• Manage your wallet, earn RÆLOS Credits, and purchase hardware that improves your system.

Quests, economy, and minigames

Caring for FORM requires resources. Complete long-term quest chains and daily quests to earn RÆLOS Credits and Growth Points. Use those resources for care, hardware, and system upgrades.

Different games unlock as the phases advance. A total of 23 minigames await you: 4 dedicated games and 19 arcade variants built around reflexes, memory, timing, attention, and pattern recognition. Each game records how many times you played, your best score, and your total score.

Every cycle leaves a trace

FORM's life does not remain the same forever. Death is not an ending, but the beginning of a new cycle. Some traces, behaviors, and gains from previous lives carry into the cycles that follow.

Rather than repeating the same path every time, observe how FORM changes, what it seems to remember, and how RÆLOS reacts to those changes.

The answers will not be given directly

What FORM is and why it exists inside RÆLOS are never explained outright. To get closer to the answers, you must piece together files, messages, forum posts, processes, and system records.

Listen to the VELUN words that emerge over time. Pay attention to repeating signs. Some records provide answers, while others leave only new questions.

Nobody explained what it is. Understanding it is up to you.
