Symbiosis is a first person puzzle game with a creepy atmosphere. You play as a plant-human hybrid that is lost deep within an abandoned and overgrown lab facility.

Control the vines and solve puzzles by making bridges, moving objects and swinging your way forward.

The vines are what binds everything together, but beware, as something sinister might also lurk somewhere in the depths of the facility.

Symbiosis was made by ten students as a vertical slice during a four week project at FutureGames in Stockholm, Sweden (although some modifications have been made since then)

The game is recommended to play with an xbox-controller or similar, but we have now also added mouse and keyboard support. Be aware that if you play with a mouse and keyboard, the in-game hints still says to press the buttons on a controller.
