Today we at Symmetry Break Studio are incredibly happy to be able to share with you that Misgiven has been nominated as one of 5 Germany-wide titles for the Young Talent Award: Best Prototype at the German Computer Game Awards (DCP) 2024, securing at least the 25K EUR nomination prize We quote here the touching review from the DCP jury for Misgiven, translated from the German version: "Multiple-choice conversations appear in countless computer games. But very often the innovations end with the layout of the ready-made answers; instead of having a conversation, we traverse a tree diagram. In this way, we do not do justice to the feeling of really talking to other people. Misgiven captures the insecurities and inhibitions in a conversation situation with an uncertain outcome with a brilliant idea: The protagonist of the graphic adventure sees more and less courageous answer options. Which of these she chooses depends on how relaxed and open she is feeling at the time. Unfortunately, she quickly stumbles into a tense negotiation situation under a false identity. Every sentence becomes a challenge. The innovation lies in a familiar genre - a graphic adventure game. The mix of new ideas and tried and tested controls is convincing. The game captivates us with its gripping atmosphere and all-round professional presentation. The story elegantly transports current topics such as empathy, freedom, inequality, oppression and environmental destruction into a science fiction setting. Never have we looked forward to a toxic particulate matter tsunami as much as we do here." Many thanks to the jury for this honor! We're hoping you'll keep your fingers crossed for us on 18th April at the award ceremony in Munich for the chance to win 1st prize and 50.000 EUR! And, of course, keep an eye out for the next steps in Misgiven's unyielding journey.

Wrestle with your thoughts, find people you can trust and, through a uniquely tangible dialog system, experience how awkward and scary, but also how rewarding, communication can be.
