The power is out. You鈥檙e still alive. You鈥檙e just a line of text.
Voltform is a two-player online co-op puzzle adventure about two digital-life researchers trying to restore power鈥攁nd get their bodies back.
Your experimental technology lets digital consciousness take physical form, provided there鈥檚 enough electricity. After a citywide blackout, emergency reserves can barely keep you alive as text. You鈥檒l have to communicate through maintenance terminals, repair the systems around you, and gradually regain the ability to move through the world yourselves.
The good news? You鈥檙e not alone.
The bad news? Your partner has never dealt with this either.
You don鈥檛 have the whole picture.
A wiring diagram on one terminal. A maintenance notice on the other. A reading that鈥檚 only visible from across a sealed door. The information you need is often split between you.
Describe what you see, compare notes, and work out your next move together. Many mechanisms let you confirm your actions one at a time. Understanding each other matters more than pressing a button at exactly the same moment.
And when the plans don鈥檛 match the equipment, maybe don鈥檛 blame your partner just yet.
Restore the power. Restore yourselves.
At first, you can only understand your surroundings through text and terminal diagrams. Recover your two-dimensional bodies, and you can finally walk, explore, and operate machinery in person.
Having a body brings its own complications.
Limited power may leave you sharing control of a single body or taking turns carrying its weight. Crossing a broken passage might require one of you to pull while the other holds everything in place. As your capabilities return, the way you cooperate changes鈥攗ntil you have a chance to regain your three-dimensional forms.
Something else is wrong with this city.
The equipment is running, but the rooms are empty.
The repairs are signed off, but the records haven鈥檛 changed.
You set out to restore power. Along the way, the evidence becomes harder to explain. Travel through preservation facilities, old research sites, and sealed-off streets. Help those still waiting, and keep a record of the things that don鈥檛 add up.
