A mysterious character guarantees the safety of a city. Players start the game with this character’s story; afterward, he seeks answers to his task. During the game's decade-long development process, no one searched for the boy. Then, a mysterious transmission prompted an important event that sparked players' curiosity about the game's underlying system.

In Hyperforma, the player controls a character with a distinctive yellow appearance. Their job is to explore and breach systems through hacking. Many disparate cores litter the system, and players must collect them. Subsequently, timing proper attacks proves tricky because many facors affect the task. More interesting than simply hitting the wall are the character's attack characteristics. After striking the wall repeatedly, he bounces back to continue his assault. In addition to swiping the screen, players can rotate the block in any direction. This is because blocking positions that can attack players emerge when players view different angles. Consequently, players can advance their hacking efforts earlier than destroying all barriers.

When protecting one’s cores in Hyperforma, players must constantly rotate the block because finding the weak point is difficult. When attacking, they must discern which parts of the core can withstand their strikes and which cause an alarm to sound. Players can use their knowledge of acquired skills to help ignore some adverse effects or even destroy targets that resist attack. Because players never need to leave the complex system in their sights. Players need to discover a character's mysterious story connected to a system. The player must hack protected cores to continue their journey. However, careful protection of the target will always be in place. The character's attack can damage the protected core and bounce off the wall before continuing to damage it. Turning a defense mechanism reveals a weakness in the original structure. This is because rotation isn't perfectly accurate and results in less protected areas. New skills are acquired and temporarily activated by the protagonist before several challenging elements appear.
