About Symmetric Studio
Symmetric Studio is an independent Saudi Arabian game development studio founded in 2024 and based in Riyadh. Its work focuses on hybrid-casual mobile games and immersive virtual reality and extended reality experiences.
The studio develops mobile games through a full-cycle process encompassing game design, development, system prototyping and live-operations management. Its design specialties include action-adventure gameplay, dungeon crawling, tactical combat and settlement-building systems. Alongside mobile production, it creates interactive VR/XR experiences.
Debut game
Valley of Fog combines dungeon-crawling combat with base and settlement building. Players control Leo, an Arabian leopard treasure hunter who explores fog-covered dungeons, battles creatures and retrieves treasure. Resources gathered during exploration support the development of a settlement, connecting combat and exploration with building progression.
The game is available for Android and iOS, with demo and web builds distributed through itch.io. It represents the studio’s focus on combining accessible mobile play with interconnected combat, resource-gathering and development mechanics.
