Forged

Forged is a fast, social multiplayer game about interpretation, imitation, and second-guessing your friends.

Each round, one player is the Artist, who creates a piece of art. The other players are Art Forgers, who only see the finished result and must figure out how it was made. Their goal is not artistic skill, but reading intent, spotting patterns, and deciding what details actually matter.

When the round ends, all the art goes up for sale. If a Forger’s piece sells instead of the original, the Forgers win. If the original sells, the Artist wins.

The fun of Forged comes from playful misreads and creative assumptions. Forgers try to reverse-engineer choices they never saw. Artists experiment, improvise, and sometimes mislead without saying a word. Simple shapes, messy lines, and bold guesses often outperform careful drawings.

Forged is a party game for players ages 13–30, designed for hanging out in person or over voice chat. It thrives on reactions, callouts, and the moment everyone realizes they focused on the wrong detail.

This current build is an MVP prototype, developed in 48 hours for the Global Game Jam. Expect a rough, experimental experience focused on social energy rather than polish.

You don’t need to be good at drawing. You just need to convince someone else.
