The Seeker casts the player as a small drone, accidentally awakened amid the wreckage of EPC-221 after humanity’s destruction in the Great Galactic War. Its mission brings together two searches: uncover evidence about the human race and its downfall, and find the drone’s owner while pursuing an evil AI. The ruined setting is part of the game’s identity, with the description pairing its scenery and music with a world of human and robotic remains.
Progress means finding an exit through a hostile, robot-made environment while collecting points. Drones and security systems, including alarms, cameras and turrets, can turn a route into a dangerous escape. The level keeps its basic layout, but changes the placement of enemies, items, doors and other hazards each time it loads. Triggering alarms also raises the challenge by adding doors and activating more powerful enemies; surviving greater breaches can bring a larger end-of-level reward. Collected points can fund upgrades such as weapons, decoys and hacking abilities.
The game is listed as single-player, so its play format centers on an individual run through that shifting stealth-and-action challenge rather than shared multiplayer sessions. Customization is another notable element: players can alter the drone’s appearance, with community skins supported through Steam Workshop.
