Symbiosis 1.0

Low budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to create an epic, the creators instead need to focus on one unique feature to make their games stick out. From these restrictions come some truly inventive concepts. One of them is Symbiosis, a game where you play as a witch who's strongly implied to have disappeared a whole lot of people.

To play Symbiosis, simply run the executable after unzipping it to a folder.

This game revolves around Magnolia, a woman who lives in the woods with her son Mint. The local legend says that she's a witch and is thought to be the cause of the many disappearances around the area. It's unclear whether it's true or not, but what is true is that you have to control her as she deals with a group of nosey intruders who are sneaking around your house for evidence. At the same time, you need to keep Mint calm and untraumatized.

The story unfolds and reveals a very disturbing but heartfelt tale. Magnolia is kind of a monster, but like all great monsters, she thinks that there's a good reason behind all her actions. You as a player may disagree with her actions and are uncomfortable with helping her carry it out, but it may help you choose which ending to take.

All in all, if you want to play a game with an incredibly unique premise, then you should give Symbiosis a download.
