Ori and the Blind forest is an indie game picked up and published by Microsoft Studios. In Ori and the Blind Forest the player takes a control of the titular guardian spirit Ori, who has fallen into a forest and been raised by a bear-like creature. An evil spirit called Kuro appears and takes Ori's adopted mother from him, forcing Ori to explore the dark forest on his own. Combining platforming elements with RPG-style levelling and experience, the player can gain new abilities in order to open up more of the game world.
