Reviews

“SYMMETRY gameplay has excellent balance, spiced up with a good story, an interesting (and surprising) ending. The ambience lingers with the player after the game is over. That's an indie game I can admire.”
8/10 – Gamerweb

“One of the most captivating element of the game is its visual aspect. Sleepless Clinic decided on a minimalistic approach to the design and it works sensationally.”
8/10 – Gram

“Tough and unforgiving, Symmetry is a hardcore survival management game with addictive gameplay and an intriguing story. You’re going to die a lot, you might even swear a bit, but you’re going to love it a whole load.”
8/10 – Punk and Lizard

About This Game

A research spaceship reaches an abandoned planet. Nothing is what it seems here and the situation quickly slips out of control. Can the crew manage to survive and get back home?

SYMMETRY is a survival management game set in a retro- futuristic, sci-fi universe. Your main goal is to manage the crash survivors and help them withstand the desolate, extremely cold environment in order to fix their spacecraft and escape. The non- obvious plot is accompanied by an atmospheric musical score and graphic design that sustains the harsh and mysterious ambience.

Survivors’ life functions crucial to their existence, such as eating, resting and mental health need to be taken care of. Extreme circumstances may force crew members to develop new skills like botanics or power plant operations, that weren't necessary in their Earthly life. Gathering all the parts required to repair the spaceship becomes a race against time, as extreme weather conditions and life-threatening supernatural activities become more and more present.

Vector graphics give the game a feeling of mystery and severity of the deserted world. Using dimmed and pastel colors throughout the scenery creates a sense of remoteness from reality and builds an unreal atmosphere of the landscape.

  • Base micro-management in extremely hostile conditions
  • Randomly assigned crew members with different skills and stories in each gameplay
  • Different needs to satisfy: nutrition, physical condition and mental health
  • Non-obvious sci-fi plot
  • Ominous presence of the Symmetrical World

  • Survival game mode unlocked once the main mission is accomplished
