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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
It looks like an easy game on the first sight, but the environment of this planet is hard. You have to coordinate your workers strategically, keep an eye on their health, skills, and the base. I needed five restarts to end the game - great experience!
It has some good atmosphere. It is very basic game but also lacks of basic needs. I Do not understand why the characters have to wait when I hover over them but other still doing their stuff. It would also be very helpful to see every stat from each character at the side of the screen. It feels very unfinished. It’s more a solid alpha version of a game
I got this game for free so I cannot complain, for a free game it's enjoyable, hence the three stars. However, it wasn't particularly special.
The art and sounds are really nice. I really liked the art in particular.
The story doesn't have much depth and some things are left unexplained.
The gameplay ... a frustraing clicker. Once you figure out the right rhythm to obtain resources, it's just a dull "make characters collect stuff" game with random damages occurring to your spaceship so it drags on and on. You need parts to leave, but you also need parts to repair the spaceship so of course thing will break right when you're about to get the right number of parts.
Things sometimes break again right after you repair them (talking about one in-game hour later) . Some things you can just not repair and do without. Sometimes characters get stuck.
You need parts to upgrade your storage too, otherwise you cannot collect enough pieces to fix the machines to begin with.
The characters do start with different abilities, which was cool, but they also can learn many of the other abilities with time, so in the end the difference among them is subtle. You start with random characters, but given their learning curve that really only affects the first few in-game days.
The tutorial doesn't really explain much.
Not sure about the survival mode, but I finished the story mode in around 5 hours (including restarting from scratch once cos one character died and I'm a completionist lol)
Full disclosure: I got the game for free. I don't think I would pay full price for it, tbh.
It's a tough game and I enjoyed playing it. After about 20 hours, I beat it with 4/5 characters still alive. I don't feel like I want to go back and improve upon that.
There's a story, but because the game doesn't pause in any way so you can read the things, you just end up ignoring it.
I was disappointed that you couldn't click on the " feels bad" messages to locate them, and that there wasn't some way of preventing them from stupidly going out with low health.
