Symmetry Break is an indie games studio based in Hamburg, Germany, driven by the passion to tell good stories and to find new forms of expression.
The work we do is centered around artistic games and interactive media that make use of unique design and storytelling techniques to promote mental health awareness, emotional intelligence and mutual acceptance. Empathy, diversity, equity and inclusion are matters we take to heart and always strive to nurture, both in how we work together and in the content we create, in the neverending search for what makes us all alike and human.
