The Seed, from indie studio Misery Development, showcases the gravity of choices. Your choices.

It will also give you the impression that you’re reading an engrossing book with lifelike characters, plausible story, complex lore and all other characteristics that define a solid reading experience.

The year is 2026. Imagine that you’re one of the last surviving members of the human race. It’s been 11 years since your family and friends were lost in a struggle with an invisible foe.

When you’re forced to abandon your underground shelter and slowly crawl back to the surface, you’ll embark on a journey that will change your life forever.

Prepare for a world of pain and struggle in this single player story-driven interactive story with rich plot branching and moral dilemmas that you’ll be required to resolve. The story will unfold according to your mental focus and your survival priorities.

The Seed is a three-act game and that will be released for PC, Mac, Linux and iPad 2 or newer. Approximate release dates are as follows:

Act 1: September 2014
Act 2: Q2 2015
Act 3: Q4 2015

A Kickstarter campaign is in progress until April 17, 2014.
