About Shadow Seeker

You are Carlos Ramirez, a well seasoned detective that works in the sleepy town of Amorita. On a fateful day, you and your partner Carolina Flores are called to scene of a reported murder in the outskirts of town. Was this a textbook homicide case, or perhaps something far worse? As the mystery deepens, the looming shadows draw closer. Creatures from unknown origins stalk the lands and lust for bloodshed. You must brave yourself and confront the darkness, before it takes you first!

Players will traverse many different areas on this case, delve deeper into the mystery and find evidence and files related to your mission. Ready and stock yourself up to fight against the evil horrors that walk amongst the living. Or perhaps take a more silent, and flight approach while evading the monsters that halt your path. You will find cunning enemies, towering gruesome bosses, hidden collectibles and optional dialogue and paths just to name a few!

Shadow Seeker will challenge the players accuracy and reflexes in the heat of the moment. Taking inspiration of the tank-like controls from the older PS1 horror era, players will have to strategize their items and positioning and commit to their attacks to overcome their enemies! Every enemy in the game including the Bosses come with a variety of movements and attacks to always keep the engagement tense and the player on their toes! Exploration in the game is heavily rewarded with additional items, optional equipment, and currency to use within the game!
