Soul Seeker

Lana Santos

Soul Seeker is a top-down RPG maker-like game that takes place in the home of a robot. Its simple narrative follows a human that has transferred their consciousness into a robotic body who, as a result of the transfer, feels as though a part of their soul is missing. The player is encouraged to explore the home, interacting with objects in each room that could spark a connection in the character. The home becomes a museum of past memories and feelings that the character has felt before which have since become distant in the metallic husk of their new form. This project aims to express different aspects of what a soul could mean to people, pulling at both the lighthearted and the somber aspects of nostalgia.
