seek

Seek is one of the main hostile entities in DOORS, as a secondary antagonist of The Hotel, the main antagonist of The Mines, and possibly even the main antagonist of DOORS as a whole. Seek appears in a chase sequence from The Grand Hallway in The Hotel two times, (both as a mini-boss), and appears in The Caverns, The Sewage Pipes, (both as a mini-boss too), a boss fight in The Dam and during the ending cutscene in The Woods, all located within The Mines. Appearance As an entity made of what appears to be black slime or goo containing multiple eyes, Seek is able to change forms at will,[1][2] and likely does not have a defined shape. However, it currently takes on two distinct appearances at different parts of the game. During chase sequences, a small puddle of Seek takes the form of a featureless humanoid figure with a single eye. A dim red light is emitted from its body and its eye. For mobile players, Seek looks like a humanoid slimy figure, whereas a console or PC player sees Seek with a red outline from some angles. When played with low graphics, Seek is simply black, and does not emit any red or white reflections; this also applies to setting the in-game technology to "Voxel" or "ShadowMap" using Bloxstrap. Inside The Dam, a much larger amount of Seek takes the form of a massive pool of the substance filling the reservoir in the middle of the room. A large mount of goo covered in eyes appears on the surface of this form, alongside debris and smaller, eyeless mounds. During the battle, arms, "Seek worms"(Worms made from "Seek goo"), a small mound with eyes and hands appears from the pool as attacks.

Arms In the last room of the chase, arms will burst out of the windows. They have the same texture and will grab and kill the player on contact. These arms will later retract into the windows before the door closes. Seek had a more bent down and mangled form, seeming way more twisted and broken than the current one, the eye was 2D and would keep flashing red and it was slightly taller than the current Seek. It also used the Undead Zombie Mesh.Seek's first appearance is labeled "Seek's crescendo" is the "cycle" that precedes all Seek encounters, during which Rush, Halt, Ambush, Eyes, Screech, Timothy, Dupe, and Void are able to spawn. When a room involved in the crescendo is entered, the lights will flicker, which can occur with flickering indicating the arrival of Rush, which can take the player by surprise. Seek's crescendo may begin as early as Door 25, and lasts 2-5 rooms before the start of a Seek chase. Seek's crescendo commences when black eyes begin to appear on walls and on all the paintings. The black eyes will increase in numbers as players progress, and will abruptly stop when players reach The Grand Hallway.

When at least one player reaches the near-end of The Grand Hallway, a cutscene will play, during which Seek emerges from black goo on the floor, and runs towards players starting the chase. All players will be teleported to the near-end of The Grand Hallway. The first chase lasts for 6 rooms, and may begin between Doors 29 and Door 42. It consists of, in order: a larger crawlspace, an octagonal maze room with three doors (only one of which is progressive), a smaller crawlspace, a second maze room, and then a corrupted version of the Grand Hallway described below. It is extremely rare, but possible, for the first chase to not occur.

The second chase lasts for 6 rooms and will begin between Doors 69 and 75. It consists of five maze rooms, and then the corrupted version of the Grand Hallway. The last room of both chases is a unique version of The Grand Hallway. Long, black, slimy arms will burst through the windows; players who make physical contact with them will be thrown out of Hotel, causing an instant death. Three chandeliers will fall onto the floor and catch on fire; they will deal 45 damage to players who make contact with them. Players who died to Seek will be converted into black goo. Throughout chases, Guiding Light will highlight progressive doors and crawlspaces. Seek's chase will conclude when the last hallway's exit door getting closed and held by Guiding light. Red light will glow from behind the door, and Seek will bang on the door three times.
