SYMMETRY

... what you see in the previews is all you'll see, that's it. Level 1 is the entire game. Can be completed in about an hour or so. The creepy atmosphere is nice though. It is a very very short title for the MSRP. If this title is under $2, then I say give it a go. It plays like "This War of Mine" but with 1/15 the game mechanics, and the character AI is awful. Not only is the AI pretty awful, but these "astronauts" are insufferable, and most of them should just be used as meat anyhow. If it was the intention of the devs to ironically make the player want these people dead, then I think that is an interesting take on 4th-wall psycological difficulty (i.e. "wow, this guy is such a loser, I should let him die... but then I'd lose the game, errr, I mean level one.) - and will edit review for a better score. All in all: Too short, you've heard this story 20x before, the protagonists are idiots, and the graphics are nice.

Disclosure: I got the game for free. It sure is a game with nice visuals, but it's the kind of game where everything goes wrong at the same time and you got to make some hard choices. The gameplay is very simple, but I don't understand why there isn't even a key to navigate from one character to another: you constantly have to zoom out and in again, wich get old when the game forces you to micromanage everyone. Yes, the characters will take some initiative, but they are generally bad ideas, like going out to gather stuff during a blizzard with half their health meter, wich means a certain death. If those stressful survival games is your thing, go ahead if the game is on sale.

A cool short game (Frostpunk-like) I really liked the game: style, atmosphere, plot, mechanics -- they are interesting and good. But it is a game for only 2-3 hours of gameplay and not replayable.

This isn't a long game. maybe 2 or 3 hour to finish the main story. Not hard when you understand how to manage things. The story is there but thin. Graphics are nice and well done. About the morals choices you can make there is only one as far as i can tell, and the mental healt isn't something you can take care, so the description of the game isn't quite true. You will learn more about the characters, reading when then talk to themselves, but never to eachothers. If you like small microgestion game, go for it. But i recommand you buy it when it's on sale.

First playthrough lasted 2 hours, lost a crew member and still managed to leave the planet; if I were to replay it (and I won't) I doubt it would last more than an hour, knowing how I am supposed to play, now. The only part mildly interesting were the AI and the glitches, but they were never actually explored, they were just... there. The game mechanics are extremely simple: you put a guy to gather wood, one to gather food until you have 40, then everyone else on tech trash. You don't need to upgrade your wood and food storage beyond 40, and there is no need to repair or upgrade the weather station, or repairing the heathers near the entrances of your base. If the guys come back with about half health or less, you send them resting. Then you just wait until you have enough tech trash to repair the rocket. As it is, this game could fit with the flash games of the good days of old (Kongregate, Newgrounds, Armorgames and such), at most a couple of bucks on the app store. Definitely not worth 10€.
