Seek Etyliv

A puzzle game where every move counts, confined in a three by three grid you move about. A dungeon crawling poem reader, exploring just how far I could ever lead her.

Minimalism is the name of the game. Seek Etyliv distills the gameplay of traditional dungeon crawlers to their very core. Intricate tactical gameplay is presented under the hood of minimalistic visuals and approach to story telling. However, minimalistic does not mean simple. While the entire game takes place on a 3x3 grid, exactly 9 tiles, it makes sure these tiles are utilized to their utmost potential. Each level is built to engage with and preserve the sense of wonder and discovery. Mechanics take the spotlight.
