About Steel Seed
Steel Seed is a gripping action-adventure game from the visionary team behind the critically acclaimed Close to the Sun, set in a dark sci-fi world where humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Join protagonist Zoe and her flying drone companion, KOBY, as they investigate the depths of a hostile underground facility in search of answers and the key to the survival of mankind.
- A Dangerous, Post-Cataclysmic World: From towering industrial landscapes to eerie biodomes, the world of Steel Seed is as haunting as it is immersive. Explore a hand-crafted world filled with dynamic combat, formidable enemies, and an immersive narrative that challenges the very definition of humanity.
- A Companion Unlike Any Other: Zoe isn't alone — her only ally is Koby, a prototype drone designed to assist her. Initially just a tool, Koby becomes a crucial partner, offering guidance and solving puzzles through environmental interactions. Though it communicates only through chirps and visual cues, Koby becomes Zoe's emotional anchor in an otherwise desolate world. They create a formidable duo by working together and bringing something new to every fight.
- Stealth, Parkour, and Dynamic Combat: Adapt your playstyle with a unique blend of stealth-action gameplay. Utilize shadows, distractions, and the environment to evade or take down enemies; face off against various enemy types and challenging bosses, each with unique abilities; and customize Zoe's playstyle with three distinct skill trees featuring 40 different upgrades.
- A Thought-Provoking Sci-Fi Experience: Steel Seed isn't just about survival — it's about exploring the fine line between human and machine, trust and control, resilience and despair. Revised and edited by BAFTA-winning writer Martin Korda, it pairs an intriguing main character's evolution with a compelling and deep narrative experience.
