What to expect from 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 mankind’s survival.
Steel Seed isn’t just about survival — it’s about exploring the fine line between human and machine, trust and control, and resilience and despair. With a story revised and edited by BAFTA-winning writer Martin Korda, the game delivers a deep and compelling narrative experience.
Key features players will want to dive into:
From towering industrial landscapes to eerie biodomes, Steel Seed‘s world is as haunting as it is immersive. Explore a hand-crafted world and narrative that challenge the very definition of humanity.
Zoe isn’t alone—her only ally is Koby, a prototype drone that becomes more than just a tool but a crucial partner. Koby offers guidance and helps to solve puzzles together. Koby is Zoe’s emotional anchor in an otherwise desolate world, creating a formidable duo in the face of any challenge.
