Another game that I'm leaving a thumbs up... however, a little disappointing. I had this game on my Wishlist for 10 years before I finally pulled the trigger (I literally bought it 10 years to the day as a little treat) and I guess I shouldn't have waited that long because at this point some of the achievements are unlockable due to this being a dead game. There are achievements asking you to "make a level" or "complete a user made level" however this is not a function of the game anymore. Oh well, it was still fun - I paid $8 for this game and was able to beat it in under 4 hours. Probably would have been 3 hours if the sliding was a little more clean, often died due to inconsistancies in movement. Anyhoo, fun game, a little old now, wait for it to go on sale. Enjoy.

About This Game
Sym is a puzzle-platformer that explores social anxiety disorder. Play as Josh, a teenage boy trying to reconcile a maze of two contrasting worlds that coexist within the blank spaces of each other - his perception of reality, and the world he created to avoid his fears.
Josh exists in these worlds as alter egos, Caleb and Ammiel. Caleb lives only in the white world, on the fringe of reality. He wants to overcome his fears. Ammiel resides in the darkness; he wants only to be alone and completely detached from human contact.
Take control of these egos and flip between both realms to solve problems and traverse obstacles. Learn to utilize both distinct spaces, to avoid obstacles and find a path to safety.
