THE GAME
The Seed is an ambitious endeavor to portray the hardships of survival in a hostile environment. If you like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, The Road, The Walking Dead, Indigo Prophecy and Planescape Torment – you’ll be sure to love The Seed!
Based on navigational decisions in your playthrough you will travel through a variety of post-apocalyptic locations such as dead forests, windy hills, abandoned homes, tunnels, bunkers, sewers, mines, ruins, improvised camps, ships, oil rigs, boats and many more. You play the role of the main character and set the course for his decisions, ethics and priorities. That is also why The Seed is written in first person, present tense to you let you feel that the story is reflecting your own current situation.
The protagonist, as with any good novel, has his background pre-defined, but you are in control of his actions whenever an important plot anchor is generated. The engine will track and analyze your decisions and determine the plot based on what sort of character you are. For example, if you role play as a bandit disregarding any notions of morality, the story will reflect this and as a result can get incredibly dark and sinister.

The production of the MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat required a daily involvement for the period of more than four years, and we feel we’ve come to know the development process of video games inside out. Needless to say, we’re really eager to enter the gaming industry as professionals. Such dream scenario does not simply fall from the sky so we’ve decided to go all-out to create a standalone game project and have established Misery Development Ltd.
Best regards
Everyone in the development team
