Evaluation

SYMMETRY launched on February 20, 2018 as a complete, self-contained survival management game. Following launch, the developer shipped three feature patches: Patch 1.0.1 on February 22, 2018 (adding a new difficulty level), an ultrawide monitor support patch on March 7, 2018, and a Korean language and UI improvements patch on July 3, 2018. That July 3, 2018 patch is the last recorded communication from the developer. No DLC was ever listed, no expansions were announced, and no roadmap or future content was promised at any point. The store description describes a self-contained game with a defined set of features and no mention of post-launch content plans. With no further developer activity since July 3, 2018, and no outstanding commitments, the game launched and was supported briefly as a finished product before reaching its final state.

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.
