Seek Etyliv

Seek Etyliv’s minimalistic stylings work greatly in the game’s favor. Boiling everything down to a 3x3 grid does not take away from the challenge, and the aesthetics will keep you playing until every foe is vanquished and every puzzle is solved.

    The gameplay offers a simple yet deep puzzle experience centered around a 3x3 grid, combining around 60 puzzles with about 10 mechanics gradually introduced through a story. It blends minimalist, roguelike dungeon-crawling elements that encourage strategic thinking rather than brute force, though it can feel repetitive and short for some players. Overall, the mechanics are solid and effective, providing a unique and engaging puzzle challenge.

    • “Simple but deep in mechanics, short so it doesn't overstay its welcome - this is a great, small, puzzle game.”
    • “The dungeon-crawling aspect initially appealed to me since it forces you to have a better understanding of the mechanics, rather than just brute-forcing every puzzle.”
    • “You are getting a game with roughly 60 individual puzzles using around 10 different mechanics.”
    • “Most of the gameplay comes from a roguelike dungeon using the same puzzles you played in the main mode, which you had to do to unlock the roguelike mode anyway.”
    • “Seek etyliv introduces new rules to its base gameplay consistently enough to keep things interesting, but cannot help but become tedious after a playthrough.”
    • “I usually like minimalist puzzlers, but I found the gameplay here a bit repetitive–there is only so much you can do in a 3x3 grid.”
  • story

    The story is presented through vague, poetic rhymes that add a mysterious and minimalist narrative layer, though some find it hard to follow or disconnected from puzzles. While the poems and storyline add charm and help introduce game mechanics gradually, the overall narrative is brief, somewhat obtuse, and can be overshadowed by frequent puzzle interruptions. Players generally appreciate the unique blend of story and gameplay but note the story's simplicity and limited depth.

    • “The mysterious story is told vaguely in rhymes and leaves space for your own fantasy.”
    • “+The story does a great job of walking you through the mechanics while gradually adding layers of complexity.”
    • “The story acts alternate narrative with puzzles, gradually introducing you to all mechanics.”
    • “The story is told through somewhat obtuse poems and the game is fairly short.”
    • “I also wasn't impressed by the poetry, though that may just be me... the main issue, I think, is that the story is easy to lose track of when interrupted by a puzzle every line or two, especially since the connection between the story and puzzles was minimal.”
    • “I read it all, but it's just some weird story that makes no sense to me.”

While visually simple, the appealing visuals and cryptic narration provide a distinctive atmosphere that keeps players engaged.

    • “Despite the limited space for movement and the few moves available at any time, the puzzles are still interesting and framed in hyper-minimalist graphics and sound, with cryptic narration to link them.”
    • “Don't let its simple visuals fool you, the aesthetic and user interface are one of the most satisfying I've ever experienced.”
    • “The artwork and UI are clean and functional.”
