Description
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
  • Moral choices – collectivism vs individualism
  • Unique vector graphics and ambient sound setting
  • High replay-ability and various strategies to beat the game
  • Survival game mode unlocked once the main mission is accomplished

Boring...

Nothing much more to do than to wait until you have enough tech trash to build the rocket... The graphic style is nice though.

Very short game

It's all about time management. Some tasks are essential, some really important and some don't important at all. Even at the lower difficulty the game is challenging, be prepared to lose one or two mates. Do the chores, upgrade your skills and workplaces, and try to repair the dameged spaceship parts to eventually escape the planet. It's a nice game similar to This War Of Mine, but not as hard. If you last long enough you get support by a 4th mate which makes everything more easy. Not a great game at all but it's nice to have it played at least once. Wait for a sale if you want to try it. PS: You can speed up and pause the game to distribute tasks. Use it a lot!

frustrating management

so, ive beaten the game in about 20 days(2h real time). is it good, is it bad, i dont know, but it was frustrating to manage those spacemen and the accidents in their shelter. i dont think i understood the story either. maybe i launched too early. some story lines pop-up once a day, along with not so interesting, flavor, spacemen comments on their mission. it is some barebones clone of similar games(like sheltered, this war of mine, fallout shelter... etc) which are likewise frustrating. this happens to be worse than twom :) i got it for free and did not have fun. still, its a game, hence the 2 stars. maybe someone will like it.

Both deceptively easy and hard..

Let's just say short but sweet, really. And yes, getting the peeps to survive is both really easy and hard. I'd say get it on discount, personally I bought it for I think $3. And that's well worth it. It's easy to learn. It's got that "ships..." when you fail, which will be many times. And finally the "..was that it ? I could do it a hundred times..", and yet once that victory has come, you'll go "let's go again" and fail.. I find the gameconcept nice since it's a survival like none other. It could be easily expanded on though. But I think that would change this game into another. One tip: Try using the spacebar a lot. It halts the game.
