Graal Seeker is a 2D game that blends RPG with rogue-like mechanics and real-time tactical battles, recreating the initiatory journey of a knight seeking the Holy Grail in fifth century Britain.

The Graal (or Holy Grail), the subject of myths and legends, can take several forms depending on the tradition: a chalice, a cauldron, or even an emerald. All covet it for its famed magical powers. But what is it really?

In Graal Seeker, you are an adventurer from the fifth century seeking this relic for fame, fortune, or faith. You can also join Arthur's court in his fight against the Saxons and spread justice throughout the land. But is the recent Saxon invasion related to the presence of the Holy Graal on British soil, or is it merely an excuse for territorial conquest?

From Celtic origins to Christian and esoteric texts, the quest for the Graal has inspired seekers for centuries. Graal Seeker provides a truly initiatory and introspective quest that evolves with your choices and experience. So it is the player who makes the story!

After Roman retreat from Britain, the Britons faced Saxon invasion and Pictish raids. You will have to choose between 3 nations, 5 classes and 5 different traits that change things a bit!

French developer has launched a IndieGoGo campaign, looking to raise €10,000, to finish development of Graal Seeker while simultaniously arriving on Steam's Greenlight service.

In Graal Seeker, you must complete three phases one after the other until you find the Graal or die.

  • The Exploration phase: The exploration phase allows you to choose where to go in a procedurally generated map. Would you rather tread a long, calm road or take a shortcut and face potential obstacles?
  • The Event/Dialogue phase: Different events happen according to your location (such as castle, village, and forest) and your previous choices. Will the local lord welcome you? If not, how will you react?
  • The Combat: And finally, battles will bring tactical combat in real-time. But be careful not to die, because there is permadeath!
