seek -- lock Cadence onto a goal while you watch and roleplay
Want to clear a haunt, run a dungeon, or buy something without steering every step? seek slips you into idle mode with a high-priority focus.
How you play
1. seek -- show current focus + usage
2. seek hunt -- missions accept / board mission loop
3. seek haunt -- missions take haunt / house haunt loop
4. seek dungeon -- dungeons take <id>, then car / travel / clear
5. seek patrol -- roam looking for hostiles
6. seek event -- join a live Croatoan surge, holy war,
Author mantle, or open haunt
7. seek croatoan -- join a live Croatoan surge in Rivertown
(aliases: croatan, outbreak, surge) — only while the surge is up
8. seek buy <item> -- walk to a nearby town shop and buy that ware
(example: seek buy phone)
9. seek eat|drink|sleep|wash -- Cadence sates that need (for a one-shot
trip to food/water/bed instead, type walk food / walk water / walk sleep)
10. seek work|gym -- gig shift or regimen gym
11. seek tutorial -- walk the current opener / homezone lesson step (aliases: quest, lesson, opener, bobby, garth, pawn). Hunters
lost on Family Business: seek tutorial walks you to Mick in the stacks; seek bobby walks you to Sioux Falls. Phone Tree mortals: seek garth or seek tutorial walks you to Garth at the pawn shop. Awakened mentors work the same way.
12. seek house|apartment -- walk to a free claim door (aliases:
home, homes, claim, apartments, flat). Does not claim for you -- enter and type claim (see help homes / help apartments).
13. seek board [name] -- walk/drive to a tip board (does not claim). Bare seek board uses the last tip you heard.
Named: bobby, garth, balthazar, missouri, calder, bela
(aliases: pawn, hotel, sheriff, den, …). Note: bare seek bobby is still the tutorial alias -- board travel is seek board bobby.
14. seek kit -- Human fighters (detective, scientist, soldier, witch, medic, procurer, hunter, occultist): walk/buy to restock stake, salt packets, demon-bane steel, and haunt/mission reagents (aliases: restock, gear). Completes once the hard gaps clear -- same restock a fighter Echo does on its own when idle.
15. Call friends first with phone / dial if you want company (help phone)
16. seek off -- clear the focus and wake
Cadence walks, drives, boards, buys, and fights using the same verbs you would type. You stay logged in -- say, emote, and phone friends while the body works. The focus stays locked until the final step finishes, or you wake (walk / fight / idle off / seek off).
Walk vs seek
walk food / walk sleep -- take you to the closest usable place (you
still buy / eat / sleep yourself). Paced one room at a time.
seek eat / seek sleep -- Cadence owns the body until the need is sated.
Just need a trip? Prefer walk. Want the full loop while you RP? seek.
Locked focus means Cadence will not divert to bar / gym wander mid-loop.
CRITICAL hunger, thirst, sleep, or hygiene can still pause briefly so the body does not collapse -- then seek resumes.
If an opener or homezone tutorial keeps reprinting a room / talk hint and you feel lost, type seek tutorial -- Cadence uses the same walk verbs you would. Screenreader players get the same commands; look Paths on the overland foot grid name nearby zones in plain text (Lebanon, bunker, …).
