About Us

Symmetry Break is an indie games and interactive media studio founded in 2022 by three old university friends and based in Hamburg, Germany.

Our works are story-driven, devise new forms of expression, set cultural shifts in motion, stir the heart, crack you open to let the light shine in, promote mental health awareness and mutual acceptance, and break the symmetry.

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 never-ending search for what makes us all alike and human.
