Seth is a first-person shooter roguelite with a sci-fi egyptian mythology theme. You'll play as Seth, god of the desert, shooting your way through waves of enemies to reach your final goal, the ultimate defeat of Apophis.
In Seth, your weapons have abilities attached to them such as slowing time with the bow and a grappling hook specific to the shotgun. It looks like melee finishers will replenish some of your shield, similar to Doom. The developer has already made big changes and multiple updates to the playtest based on player feedback and that will likely continue.
Seth features Twitch integration, allowing friends and live viewers to choose between which power you'll receive in the next room you'll enter if you survive. New Subscribers to your channel will also have their name appear on a new enemy. That's neat. They should do it for Followers as well, and maybe people who give Bits or something. 😄
Chaotic Games, the developer and publisher, is running a speedrun contest right now until May 12th. To enter, you need to join their discord channel and submit a screenshot of your best time there. I do not know if there are deeper details or requirements as I have not joined to enter and I'm not sure if I will yet. Good luck if you enter and let me know how you do! You should receive instant access to the Playtest once you request it.
I have not tried Seth yet but it looks fun. I do plan to give it a try soon but I have a lot of games I'm in the middle of right now. There is currently no release date but it may be planned for this year as it's labeled as "Coming Soon." It is only announced for PC at this time. Thanks for reading. Game on.
