About Sym
Sym is a puzzle-platformer about Josh, a teenage boy living with social anxiety disorder. You guide him through two contrasting worlds: his perception of reality and a world he created to avoid his fears. Josh appears in these realms as his alter egos, Caleb and Ammiel.
Two contrasting worlds
Caleb lives only in the white world, on the fringe of reality, and wants to overcome his fears. Ammiel resides in the darkness and wants to be alone and completely detached from human contact. You switch between the two worlds to solve problems, avoid obstacles and find a path to safety.
Puzzles and levels
The game has 44 levels combining logic puzzles, platforming and mazes. You use both distinct spaces to get past obstacles and find the way forward.
Create and share levels
A level editor lets you create and share new levels. The Shared World connects doorways in your creations to levels built by other players.
