What is it?
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. The entire game takes place on a 3x3 grid. Exactly 9 tiles. With so few 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.Gameplay
- Control a character on a 3x3 grid
- Clear the level of enemies or reach the stairs
- Die, then repeat with a fresh perspective
- Enjoy figuring out the mechanics
- Read some lore as a reward

Seek Etyliv is a small experimental puzzle game, combining the fun parts of a dungeon crawler with indirect poem story telling. It challenges your ability to quickly grasp newly introduced mechanics, all on a 3x3 grid. There are more interactions than you might expect to discover from such a restricted gameplay environment.

Seek Etyliv
The first game patch is now up. It primarily addresses the dungeon issues.
- On failing a dungeon, you go back to restarting it with the current character instead of entering the graveyard
- Chances to encounter levels you've solved are significantly reduced, slightly less so for failed levels, making levels appear as often as others
- Same applies to the dungeon layouts
- Tiles of icons, with which you've completed the dungeon are now different
If you encounter more bugs and / or frustrating design, let me know either in the community posts or on twitter (@rokasvo) and I'll do my best to address them.
