Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all an update if you've been wondering what we at Symmetry Break Studio have been up to. Many of you may not have seen anything new about Misgiven ever since we showed the game at gamescom 2023. We want to let you know we're still hard at work, albeit a bit slower, as we hunt for a publisher and further funding for the game. Even though this introduces some delays in our development schedule, we're gearing up to come back in full force in 2024. 2023 was a very exciting year for Misgiven, all caused by your interest and support, whether you spoke or wrote about the game, hosted it at events, came up to us to talk about it, playtested it, offered feedback or wishlisted it. All these things were incredibly helpful and tremendously encouraging! If you're keen on revisiting the excitement of gamescom in August 2023, here's a couple ways to do it:

• Read [url=https://adventuregamehotspot.com/2023/09/02/gamescom-2023-round-up-part-two/]the thoughts of BBC journalist Laura Cress about Misgiven[/url], listed among many other amazing adventure games she played at gamescom.
• Watch the playthrough of Misgiven's demo on the [url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1916829231?t=05h15m56s]Indie Arena Booth livestream[/url]
• Those of you who speak German can listen to the [url=https://behind-the-screens.de/2023/09/07/mental-health-spiele-auf-der-gamescom/]Behind the Screens – Mental Health-Spiele auf der Gamescom – Podcast E076[/url], hosted by psychologists Dr. Benjamin Strobel, Nicolas Hoberg and Jessica Kathmann, in which they look at video games from the perspective of psychology.

November saw Misgiven in the spotlight at the PLAY! Festival in Hamburg. If you missed it, you can catch a glimpse of the event through [url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1968394275?t=3h56m00s]this Twitch livestream snippet[/url], where our producer, Anca, talks about the game and answers a few questions. In December, Misgiven was one of the 3 nominees for the [url=https://deutscherentwicklerpreis.de/die-ersten-nominierten-stehen-fest/]Ubisoft Newcomer Award[/url] at the German Developer Award in Cologne. While we didn't win, we are so proud of having made it this far! For the time being, we will be sporadic with posts here bar major updates, but in the meantime there is an active Discord community that we regularly engage with. You are more than welcome to [url=https://discord.gg/RgJxqkNYqR ]join us on Discord[/url] to discuss the game and talk to the team in a more personal setting. Thank you so much for your support in 2023 and stay tuned for what's coming. We wish you wonderful winter holidays and a fabulous new year!
