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.

=={{Icons|Behavior}} Behavior==

The first encounter with ''Seek'' is when its eyes appear in the rooms before ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s appearance and when paintings contain ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s Eyes (referred to as ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s crescendo), foreshadowing the chase sequence. From the first door that the eyes start appearing, the chase sequence will begin at the 4th door (i.e. seeing eyes at door 35 will cause the chase to occur at door 39). ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s eyes will continue to increase in numbers as players approach the chase sequence (i.e. seeing one eye at door 35, will cause the next room to have 3 - 5, and so on.) before abruptly stopping on the [[The Grand Hallway|pre-generated hallway]]. Lights will flicker and are more likely to make the upcoming rooms dark rooms (this only applies to the second chase sequence).

''Seek'' will manifest after the players have reached the end of the pre-generated hallway, teleporting all of them in front of the next room's door. The players must run away from ''Seek'' manually, with a few rooms having obstacles that players will have to crouch under. [[Guiding Light]] will aid players in this chase until they reach the end, highlighting the correct door. At the last hallway, long black slimy hands will burst through the windows that are able to instantly grab and kill players when in contact, along with fallen chandeliers that are on fire that will [[damage]] players and take 45 [[health]].

Once the players have gone past the last hallway, ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s chase will be concluded by the door closing in front of it. ''Seek'' will bang on the door three times before giving up, letting the players go.

Players can use the [[crucifix]] on ''Seek'', but it will not be banished, and will only be halted before escaping. This is noted by the Crucifix's sigil turning red, then breaking. The same goes for [[Figure]].

In general, ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s tactic is to send the player into a blinding state of panic and confusion throughout plentiful obstacles to hopefully injure or kill the player. The Guiding Light counters this tactic by guiding the player to where to go.

In the April Fools update, ''Seek'' is driving a small Green Roblox Car, the chase is slightly longer, the doors are not highlighted, and the chase is a combination of the first and second chase sequences from Normal mode. Those are the only real differences in the chase during SUPER HARD MODE.

===Notes===

*Unlike [[Rush]] and [[Ambush]], ''Seek'' can kill players through walls, making being slowed down dangerous as ''Seek'' can catch up and be close enough for it to catch the player. ''Seek'''s range is slightly smaller than Rush's.

*After ''Seek'' clears a room, ''Seek'' will kill any players who are behind it.

*Crouching does not work against ''Seek'''s hands.

*One way players can tell if ''Seek'' is near is by paying attention to how loud his footsteps are.

**Another way is if the player sees a red light. The more the light is visible, the closer ''Seek'' is.

*''Seek'' does not chase the players; instead, it will (mostly, not guaranteed) run from the left side of the intersection towards the intended room, and players behind ''Seek'' after it enters the next room are instantly killed.

**Thus, if a wrong turn was taken, it is advisable to turn around and return to the original path rather than completing the loop unless the player has [[vitamins]]; as if the loop is completed normally, the players often will reach the door right as ''Seek'' does, resulting in death.

*The first chase lasts for six doors.

**The first chase consists of an alternation between crawlspaces, which the player must manually crawl under, and an octagonal room with three doors, where only one is the way out.

*The second chase also lasts for six doors. However, before the Hotel+ update, it lasted eight doors.

**The second chase consists of only doors with split paths; there are no crawl spaces.

**The player will still have to run through the hallway with giant hands and fallen chandeliers.

*Similar to [[Halt]], all other players are rendered invisible during the chase sequence to make it easier to navigate and less crowded.

**However, if a player is holding an [[item]] (such as a [[lighter]] or a [[flashlight]]), the item will still be visible and will appear to be floating.

***Experienced players can use this to their advantage to highlight the ways to go to help newer players, as they can see the item and will likely follow it.

*[[Rush]], [[Ambush]], [[Eyes]], and [[Halt]] are unable to spawn in rooms with ''Seek'''s eyes, regardless of whether the said rooms have closets or not. However, dark rooms have an increased chance of appearing, so [[Screech]], [[Timothy]] and [[Dupe]] can still spawn.

**This is due to ''Seek'''s crescendo, whereas it will populate rooms following up to the chase sequence with progressively more of ''Seek'''s eyes until it reaches the pre-generated hallway, where the chase sequence will begin. This will sometimes make the room have flickering lights, like a Rush attack. Many new players may be confused by this.

**In a rare occasion the Room right after the ''Seek'' chase may have a chance to spawn Eyes or Dupe.

**''Seek'''s first crescendo can happen before Door 29, but the chase itself will always spawn at the minimum of Door 29.

*''Seek'' will scream when it gets close to a player.

**''Seek'' also screams when it is in the first and last room of the chase.

*Dying in a ''Seek'' chase and using a [[Revive]] will not force the player to do the chase again. However, the user must wait until the chase is over.

**The player, however, will lose the items they found/bought before or during the chase. This is due to the player's corpse and items will be in Seek's hallway, that is locked after the chase.

*''Seek'''s first chase will always occur between Doors 29–40, and its second chase will always occur between Doors 69–75.

**However it is possible though very rare for the First ''Seek'' chase not to occur at all before The Library, leaving only the second chase within the run. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/@CaptainJackAttack CaptainJackAttack encountered this while streaming.]</ref>

*It's very easy to spot [[Guiding Light]] during the chase with low graphic settings.

**However, due to the time it takes for the light to update, players who plays on a graphic less than 5 may need to pay close attention to door sign for the real door or to simply shake their screen to force a lighting update.

*''Seek'''s eyes do not appear in the hallway that ''Seek'' spawns in before it spawns. If there is a hallway with ''Seek'''s eyes in it, then that means that ''Seek'' will not spawn in that hallway, but in a later hallway without ''Seek'''s eyes.

*If a player dies to ''Seek'', their corpse will be covered in black goo. Additionally, all the items the player had will not be re-collected if they use a Revive due to the "Wait until it's safe" pop up and the fact the chase cannot be redone.

*The Crucifix will not banish ''Seek'', only being able to stun it. The same goes with [[Figure]].

**It is still a lifesaver if the player accidentally loops around the octagon-shaped rooms.

===Super Hard Mode Modifications===

*In [[2023 April Fools Event|SUPER HARD MODE]], ''Seek'' drives a green ROBLOX jeep. Despite no visible model changes being present, the animation is changed to being stiff, resembling a Robloxian driving a car.

*''Seek'' has a smaller hitbox, presumedly for leniency if the player is too slow or take the wrong turn.

*''Seek'' also has a higher speed than in the normal game.

*Both of its chase sequences are slightly longer.

*[[Guiding Light]] will not highlight the doors when approaching an intersection room but will still highlight crawl spaces.

=={{Icons|Door}} Bugs==

*''Seek'' and its eyes on the wall may have red spots, while the correct render is pure black.

*Sometimes ''Seek'''s eyes will not load in, and the player will only be able to see them in paintings and flashing eyes around their screen.

*In the opening cutscene, when ''Seek'' starts to run, the player can hear that the audio for ''Seek'''s footsteps is not synchronized with the run animation.

*During the opening cutscene, it is possible to stand behind ''Seek'' during said cutscene with the help of other players, although the player will still be teleported to the normal position at the end of the hallway once the chase starts.

**If the player is standing on ''Seek'''s spawn point, they will hover above it in the cutscene.

***This is not the case anymore as the player will just be automatically moved to the side.

*At the end of ''Seek'''s chase sequences, if a player goes back into a corner, the door will close, but the player will be killed in the process. The only way the player can survive is with a [[crucifix]]. By sitting in the corner and holding it out, it will restrain ''Seek'' therefore it cannot kill the player. After ''Seek'' bangs on the door three times, it will proceed to reverse back into the previous room’s wall and despawn, along with the room after a few seconds.

**Because of this, the players are now stuck. The only way to move on is to go back to the previous room and fall into the void or wait for the [[Void]] to teleport the said players out, which will teleport players back to where they are supposed to be, but this can come with a price. The players ahead could possibly trigger Rush or Ambush; if so, they will spawn at the end of the hallway where ''Seek'' disappeared.

**If the player in question has a bad connection, the door will delay opening. By the time the door opens, it’ll be too late to avoid ''Seek''.

**The player can also do this glitch if they go back into the ending door after they go into the next room.

*''Seek'' will sometimes T-Pose when spawning if the player has a bad connection.

**This may also happen if a crucifix has been used just prior.

*There was a bug when the hands during ''Seek'''s chase sequence used to be unable to kill the player. This has now been patched.

*There is a very rare chance that the first ''Seek'' chase may not occur at all. This is likely due to faulty room generation.

**It can also be intentional, as the second ''Seek'' is guaranteed to spawn.

*At the end of the ''Seek'''s chases, the next progression door can be opened from a far vicinity. This is due to the fact that the chase usually increases the Door opening range to prevent delays from opening doors. This effect will still go in action until the Door after ''Seek'''s chase sequence is opened.

**This does not apply to [[Dupe]] doors.

*There was a bug after the Hotel+ update where ''Seek'' would appear late (possibly doors 78-86) and because of [[The Greenhouse]] being added players could not progress and players would die to ''Seek''. This has been patched.

*There is a bug where the player can block ''Seek'' with the automatic door closing feature. To do this, they must use a crucifix on ''Seek'', then take vitamins and run through the doors quickly. If done on time, ''Seek'' will not be able to bang on the final door of the chase sequence due to it being stuck. This allows the player to freely explore the chase area up to the point where ''Seek'' got blocked.

**Since ''Seek'' is not able to bang on the final door of the chase sequence due to it being stuck, players will remain fast as long as they don't exit the room for a few seconds.

*There is a bug, where arms do not appear at the last corridor.

*When using exploits, there's a chance that ''Seeks'' animation does not play, therefore the player does not get the speed when starting the cutscene.

**Another potential reason for not getting ''Seek'''s speedboost is exploits' humanoid speed modification overrides ''Seek'''s speed multiplier.

=={{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia==

*The official soundtrack used for ''Seek'''s chase sequence is [[Soundtrack#Overview|''Here I Come'']].

**The name of the track is most likely a reference to the children's game [[wp:Hide-and-Seek|Hide-and-Seek]], where once the seeker has finished counting, they usually shout "Ready or not, here I come!"

*''Seek'' was also featured in the original thumbnail of the game. It shows multiple red eyes and arms that are coming out of a dark doorway. It was thought that it was a separate entity, but it was confirmed by the developers as ''Seek'' itself.

**The thumbnail has been changed as of the Hotel+ update, instead featuring Dupe.

*''Seek'' is the second ''[[DOORS]]'' plush manufactured by Makeship'','' which released on May 11.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1606357211168505880]</ref>

**''Seek'' is also the first ''DOORS'' entity to have a Youtooz, which is based off of its [[crucifix]] achievement image.<ref>https://twitter.com/youtooz/status/1645551411315261442</ref>

**As of now, ''Seek'' is the only entity to have both Makeship and Youtooz [[merchandise]].

**''Seek'''s Makeship plush can also be found in the lobby, sitting next to the ''Screech'' plush.

*''Seek'''s jumpscare eye resembles the eye on its old model.

*''Seek'' has 3 [[Merchandise|UGC]] items: [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/10929342405/Seeks-Eye ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s Eye], [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/13592558317/Seek-Headphones ''Seek'' Headphones], and [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/13584304105/Seeks-New-Whip ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s New Whip].

**''Seek'''s Eye is currently the least expensive UGC item compared to other [[LSPLASH]] products.

**''Seek'''s New Whip is currently the only UGC item that references the [[2023 April Fools Event]].

*''Seek'''s eyes can be seen in the [[Lobby]], behind a barricaded section with wooden planks near the initial spawn point.

**They can also be seen above the [[Elevator#Mining Elevator|Mining Elevator]] in [[The Electrical Room]].

*''Seek'' was the first entity to be added to the game.

**It is also the first entity that was created specifically for ''DOORS''.

*''Seek'' is one of the two entities able to escape the Crucifix, the other being the Figure.

**''Seek'''s crucifix achievement image is a reference to a meme from Sparkles And Champagne.

*''Seek'' seems to be the secondary antagonist of the game (the [[Figure]] being primary) as ''Seek'' is guaranteed to spawn, can escape a crucifix, and its chase sequences are one of the major events in the game.

*During the first ''Seek'' chase, the player used to play an animation of crawling through the falling bookcases. This was changed, and now the player must manually crouch through them instead due to lag killing most players.

**As of the Hotel+ update, the game no longer makes the player run automatically after the cutscene, forcing them to run on their own.

*''Seek'''s chase sequence animations were improved in the Hotel+ Update.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1587135940891394051 Q: "And another thing I really like is the seek chase." A: "theres a lot of improvements coming to both of those in the next update, i think you will be very pleased"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>

*In earlier versions of the game, if a player was using low graphics, the Guiding Light would not illuminate the bookcases the player crawls under or the doors that the player(s) had to run through, which caused quite a lot of confusion amongst them. This was later patched.

*The old model for ''Seek'' was changed because the mesh was not created by the DOORS developers, nor were any of the appendages moveable or poseable.

*''Seek'' is named after how it 'seeks' the player, most likely how the eyes follow the player.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1566604418761605121 "Seek seeks."] – DoorsRoblox, Twitter</ref>

*''Seek'' is one of the few entities capable of altering a player's appearance upon death, another notable entity being Figure. The dead bodies of those killed in the chase sequence have a similar texture to ''Seek''.

*In the Hotel+ Update, ''Seek'' can manifest paintings by showing a [[Paintings|painting]] with ''Seek'''s eyes to hint at its arrival.

**Interacting with the "painting" will show a message that reads "This isn't a painting."

**''Seek'' is also one of the few entities to be shown in a painting, another being [[Jack]] in the painting ''Captain Jack''.

*The player's screen will start to slightly shake while in the chase, possibly to make it harder to pass the crawlspaces easily, or to add realism.

*Specimen 2 from Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion may be ''Seek'''s main inspiration, as both of them appear as humanoids made of slime. Specimen 2 can also appear from the green mud in the HD Renovation of the game.

*''Seek'''s appearance is based off of Shambling Mass from Undertale due to their appearance on MTT Resort.

*''Seek'''s eyes' vein texture ID is [https://create.roblox.com/marketplace/asset/1935531878/Imagesveins 1935531878].

*''Seek'''s eyes that appear before the chase make an ambient noise when they appear and blink.

**The eyes did not blink in the mobile version.

**The bigger the eye, the louder the ambience is.

*''Seek's eyes, the'' ''"Seek'<nowiki/>''s Eye" and "''Seek'' Headphones" UGC items,<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1558906659627466758 "i gave the hat an optical illusion that makes it seem as if the eyes is always looking at you"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref> and the eye on ''Seek'''s head are optical illusions. The eyes are indented inwards and create the illusion that they are always looking at the player (or more precisely, the camera, since most of the time the game is in first person). For this reason, the cameo eyes in the [[Lobby]] and during the pre-chase cutscene do not follow the player but the camera instead.

*Before the Hotel+ update, ''Seek'''s eyes rarely used to appear in [[The Courtyard|The Courtyard's]] walls or the middle of the room.

**This has now been changed, due to [[The Greenhouse]] and the fact that ''Seek'''s second chase sequence cannot appear that late now.

*''Seek'''s eyes can sometimes overlap, making a fusion of 2 or 3 eyes.

*After the ''Seek'' chase its eyes' ambient sound can still be heard if standing close to the wall.

**Eye particles can appear after the chase.

*Seek's eyes can be a navigation to avoid Dupe doors. They will always lead to the right door.

*''Seek'''s eyes may be inspired by the horror game Eyes, where the player must collect eyes on the walls to see, where the monster is.

*The red light coming from ''Seek'''s eye may have been inspired by [https://roblox-the-maze-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/The_Orotund The Orotund] from The Maze, who has the same light.

*''Seek'' is not an anatomically correct human figure, but rather a mound of black slime that tried taking the shape of one, with one of ''Seek'''s eyes being planted on the face.<ref name=":0">[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1575182226203250688?cxt=HHwWgMDUlfP4ldwrAAAA "seek is just a mound of slime that took the shape of something slightly resembling a humanoid, with one of the wall eyes stuck right on the face."] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref><ref name=":1">[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1572713698694955010?cxt=HHwWhIDUgdixs9MrAAAA "seek is not made of anything, seek IS the "goo", the goo only takes forms of things (such as a human, giant hands, eyes)"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>

*If the player's settings are on the low quality, ''Seek'''s details will not be showed which means it’s simply pure black.

*It may be the case that, canonically, ''Seek'' is constantly stalking the players and their progress.

*''Seek'''s arms either kill the player by strangling them or pull them out of a window. However for the latter to be true, the Grand Hallway has to be several yards above ground for fall height to be deadly.

*The texture used for ''Seek'' and its eyes appears to be the default foil texture on Roblox.

*''Seek'''s eye blinking sound effect is an official Roblox sound effect.

*''Seek'' does not scream so much as letting out a guttural noise, done by manipulating itself.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1577873934527205382 "not necessarily a scream, more just a guttural like noise that it makes probably by manipulating itself in some way"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>

*[[RediblesQW]] has claimed that ''Seek'' most likely could form a mouth if it wanted to.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1577369513808510977 "actually, correction: it doesnt have a mouth, but im sure it could if it wanted to"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>

*''Seek'' is capable of shapeshifting into virtually anything, although it will likely always be imperfect in some form.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1575747075865997312 "well while seek has the ability to shape itself into pretty much anything that doesnt necessarily mean its good at doing it perfectly or replicating things accurately"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>

*''Seek'' is Wowzers' favorite major character.<ref>[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:WowzersItsMe?threadId=4400000000000106886#4400000000000411399 Q: "What is your favorite Boss Entity? (Figure, Seek)" A: "seek"] - Wowzers</ref>

*Wowzers has implied that ''Seek'' will return in Floor 2.<ref>[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:WowzersItsMe?threadId=4400000000000107430#4400000000000415450 Q: "Will seek return on the second floor?" A: "some entities will be returning for the next floor"] -Wowzers</ref>

*''Seek'' is one of Redibles' favorite entities.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1587138021933072386?cxt=HHwWhICy7ebn0oYsAAAA "in no way did i think a solid black goo man with a cyclops eye would become one of my most beloved and iconic character designs lol"] - RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>

*[[Screech]] and ''Seek'' have the same black goo/slime covering their bodies, so they're possibly related or connected.

*Seek in real life would have a height of 1.96 meters (7 studs).

-In the April Fools update, ''Seek'' is driving a small Green Roblox Car, the chase is slightly longer, the doors are not highlighted, and the chase is a combination of the first and second chase sequences from Normal mode. Those are the only real differences in the chase during SUPER HARD MODE.
-===Notes===
-*Unlike [[Rush]] and [[Ambush]], ''Seek'' can kill players through walls, making being slowed down dangerous as ''Seek'' can catch up and be close enough for it to catch the player. ''Seek'''s range is slightly smaller than Rush's.
-*After ''Seek'' clears a room, ''Seek'' will kill any players who are behind it.
-*Crouching does not work against ''Seek'''s hands.
-*One way players can tell if ''Seek'' is near is by paying attention to how loud his footsteps are.
-**Another way is if the player sees a red light. The more the light is visible, the closer ''Seek'' is.
-*''Seek'' does not chase the players; instead, it will (mostly, not guaranteed) run from the left side of the intersection towards the intended room, and players behind ''Seek'' after it enters the next room are instantly killed.
-**Thus, if a wrong turn was taken, it is advisable to turn around and return to the original path rather than completing the loop unless the player has [[vitamins]]; as if the loop is completed normally, the players often will reach the door right as ''Seek'' does, resulting in death.
-*The first chase lasts for six doors.
-**The first chase consists of an alternation between crawlspaces, which the player must manually crawl under, and an octagonal room with three doors, where only one is the way out.
-*The second chase also lasts for six doors. However, before the Hotel+ update, it lasted eight doors.
-**The second chase consists of only doors with split paths; there are no crawl spaces.
-**The player will still have to run through the hallway with giant hands and fallen chandeliers.
-*Similar to [[Halt]], all other players are rendered invisible during the chase sequence to make it easier to navigate and less crowded.
-**However, if a player is holding an [[item]] (such as a [[lighter]] or a [[flashlight]]), the item will still be visible and will appear to be floating.
-***Experienced players can use this to their advantage to highlight the ways to go to help newer players, as they can see the item and will likely follow it.
-*[[Rush]], [[Ambush]], [[Eyes]], and [[Halt]] are unable to spawn in rooms with ''Seek'''s eyes, regardless of whether the said rooms have closets or not. However, dark rooms have an increased chance of appearing, so [[Screech]], [[Timothy]] and [[Dupe]] can still spawn.
-**This is due to ''Seek'''s crescendo, whereas it will populate rooms following up to the chase sequence with progressively more of ''Seek'''s eyes until it reaches the pre-generated hallway, where the chase sequence will begin. This will sometimes make the room have flickering lights, like a Rush attack. Many new players may be confused by this.
-**In a rare occasion the Room right after the ''Seek'' chase may have a chance to spawn Eyes or Dupe.
-**''Seek'''s first crescendo can happen before Door 29, but the chase itself will always spawn at the minimum of Door 29.
-*''Seek'' will scream when it gets close to a player.
-**''Seek'' also screams when it is in the first and last room of the chase.
-*Dying in a ''Seek'' chase and using a [[Revive]] will not force the player to do the chase again. However, the user must wait until the chase is over.
-**The player, however, will lose the items they found/bought before or during the chase. This is due to the player's corpse and items will be in Seek's hallway, that is locked after the chase.
-*''Seek'''s first chase will always occur between Doors 29–40, and its second chase will always occur between Doors 69–75.
-**However it is possible though very rare for the First ''Seek'' chase not to occur at all before The Library, leaving only the second chase within the run. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/@CaptainJackAttack CaptainJackAttack encountered this while streaming.]</ref>
-*It's very easy to spot [[Guiding Light]] during the chase with low graphic settings.
-**However, due to the time it takes for the light to update, players who plays on a graphic less than 5 may need to pay close attention to door sign for the real door or to simply shake their screen to force a lighting update.
-*''Seek'''s eyes do not appear in the hallway that ''Seek'' spawns in before it spawns. If there is a hallway with ''Seek'''s eyes in it, then that means that ''Seek'' will not spawn in that hallway, but in a later hallway without ''Seek'''s eyes.
-*If a player dies to ''Seek'', their corpse will be covered in black goo. Additionally, all the items the player had will not be re-collected if they use a Revive due to the "Wait until it's safe" pop up and the fact the chase cannot be redone.
-*The Crucifix will not banish ''Seek'', only being able to stun it. The same goes with [[Figure]].
-**It is still a lifesaver if the player accidentally loops around the octagon-shaped rooms.
-===Super Hard Mode Modifications===
-*In [[2023 April Fools Event|SUPER HARD MODE]], ''Seek'' drives a green ROBLOX jeep. Despite no visible model changes being present, the animation is changed to being stiff, resembling a Robloxian driving a car.
-*''Seek'' has a smaller hitbox, presumedly for leniency if the player is too slow or take the wrong turn.
-*''Seek'' also has a higher speed than in the normal game.
-*Both of its chase sequences are slightly longer.
-*[[Guiding Light]] will not highlight the doors when approaching an intersection room but will still highlight crawl spaces.
-=={{Icons|Door}} Bugs==
-*''Seek'' and its eyes on the wall may have red spots, while the correct render is pure black.
-*Sometimes ''Seek'''s eyes will not load in, and the player will only be able to see them in paintings and flashing eyes around their screen.
-*In the opening cutscene, when ''Seek'' starts to run, the player can hear that the audio for ''Seek'''s footsteps is not synchronized with the run animation.
-*During the opening cutscene, it is possible to stand behind ''Seek'' during said cutscene with the help of other players, although the player will still be teleported to the normal position at the end of the hallway once the chase starts.
-**If the player is standing on ''Seek'''s spawn point, they will hover above it in the cutscene.
-***This is not the case anymore as the player will just be automatically moved to the side.
-*At the end of ''Seek'''s chase sequences, if a player goes back into a corner, the door will close, but the player will be killed in the process. The only way the player can survive is with a [[crucifix]]. By sitting in the corner and holding it out, it will restrain ''Seek'' therefore it cannot kill the player. After ''Seek'' bangs on the door three times, it will proceed to reverse back into the previous room’s wall and despawn, along with the room after a few seconds.
-**Because of this, the players are now stuck. The only way to move on is to go back to the previous room and fall into the void or wait for the [[Void]] to teleport the said players out, which will teleport players back to where they are supposed to be, but this can come with a price. The players ahead could possibly trigger Rush or Ambush; if so, they will spawn at the end of the hallway where ''Seek'' disappeared.
-**If the player in question has a bad connection, the door will delay opening. By the time the door opens, it’ll be too late to avoid ''Seek''.
-**The player can also do this glitch if they go back into the ending door after they go into the next room.
-*''Seek'' will sometimes T-Pose when spawning if the player has a bad connection.
-**This may also happen if a crucifix has been used just prior.
-*There was a bug when the hands during ''Seek'''s chase sequence used to be unable to kill the player. This has now been patched.
-*There is a very rare chance that the first ''Seek'' chase may not occur at all. This is likely due to faulty room generation.
-**It can also be intentional, as the second ''Seek'' is guaranteed to spawn.
-*At the end of the ''Seek'''s chases, the next progression door can be opened from a far vicinity. This is due to the fact that the chase usually increases the Door opening range to prevent delays from opening doors. This effect will still go in action until the Door after ''Seek'''s chase sequence is opened.
-**This does not apply to [[Dupe]] doors.
-*There was a bug after the Hotel+ update where ''Seek'' would appear late (possibly doors 78-86) and because of [[The Greenhouse]] being added players could not progress and players would die to ''Seek''. This has been patched.
-*There is a bug where the player can block ''Seek'' with the automatic door closing feature. To do this, they must use a crucifix on ''Seek'', then take vitamins and run through the doors quickly. If done on time, ''Seek'' will not be able to bang on the final door of the chase sequence due to it being stuck. This allows the player to freely explore the chase area up to the point where ''Seek'' got blocked.
-**Since ''Seek'' is not able to bang on the final door of the chase sequence due to it being stuck, players will remain fast as long as they don't exit the room for a few seconds.
-*There is a bug, where arms do not appear at the last corridor.
-*When using exploits, there's a chance that ''Seeks'' animation does not play, therefore the player does not get the speed when starting the cutscene.
-**Another potential reason for not getting ''Seek'''s speedboost is exploits' humanoid speed modification overrides ''Seek'''s speed multiplier.
-=={{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia==
-*The official soundtrack used for ''Seek'''s chase sequence is [[Soundtrack#Overview|''Here I Come'']].
-**The name of the track is most likely a reference to the children's game [[wp:Hide-and-Seek|Hide-and-Seek]], where once the seeker has finished counting, they usually shout "Ready or not, here I come!"
-*''Seek'' was also featured in the original thumbnail of the game. It shows multiple red eyes and arms that are coming out of a dark doorway. It was thought that it was a separate entity, but it was confirmed by the developers as ''Seek'' itself.
-**The thumbnail has been changed as of the Hotel+ update, instead featuring Dupe.
-*''Seek'' is the second ''[[DOORS]]'' plush manufactured by Makeship'','' which released on May 11.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1606357211168505880]</ref>
-**''Seek'' is also the first ''DOORS'' entity to have a Youtooz, which is based off of its [[crucifix]] achievement image.<ref>https://twitter.com/youtooz/status/1645551411315261442</ref>
-**As of now, ''Seek'' is the only entity to have both Makeship and Youtooz [[merchandise]].
-**''Seek'''s Makeship plush can also be found in the lobby, sitting next to the ''Screech'' plush.
-*''Seek'''s jumpscare eye resembles the eye on its old model.
-*''Seek'' has 3 [[Merchandise|UGC]] items: [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/10929342405/Seeks-Eye ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s Eye], [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/13592558317/Seek-Headphones ''Seek'' Headphones], and [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/13584304105/Seeks-New-Whip ''Seek''<nowiki/>'s New Whip].
-**''Seek'''s Eye is currently the least expensive UGC item compared to other [[LSPLASH]] products.
-**''Seek'''s New Whip is currently the only UGC item that references the [[2023 April Fools Event]].
-*''Seek'''s eyes can be seen in the [[Lobby]], behind a barricaded section with wooden planks near the initial spawn point.
-**They can also be seen above the [[Elevator#Mining Elevator|Mining Elevator]] in [[The Electrical Room]].
-*''Seek'' was the first entity to be added to the game.
-**It is also the first entity that was created specifically for ''DOORS''.
-*''Seek'' is one of the two entities able to escape the Crucifix, the other being the Figure.
-**''Seek'''s crucifix achievement image is a reference to a meme from Sparkles And Champagne.
-*''Seek'' seems to be the secondary antagonist of the game (the [[Figure]] being primary) as ''Seek'' is guaranteed to spawn, can escape a crucifix, and its chase sequences are one of the major events in the game.
-*During the first ''Seek'' chase, the player used to play an animation of crawling through the falling bookcases. This was changed, and now the player must manually crouch through them instead due to lag killing most players.
-**As of the Hotel+ update, the game no longer makes the player run automatically after the cutscene, forcing them to run on their own.
-*''Seek'''s chase sequence animations were improved in the Hotel+ Update.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1587135940891394051 Q: "And another thing I really like is the seek chase." A: "theres a lot of improvements coming to both of those in the next update, i think you will be very pleased"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>
-*In earlier versions of the game, if a player was using low graphics, the Guiding Light would not illuminate the bookcases the player crawls under or the doors that the player(s) had to run through, which caused quite a lot of confusion amongst them. This was later patched.
-*The old model for ''Seek'' was changed because the mesh was not created by the DOORS developers, nor were any of the appendages moveable or poseable.
-*''Seek'' is named after how it 'seeks' the player, most likely how the eyes follow the player.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1566604418761605121 "Seek seeks."] – DoorsRoblox, Twitter</ref>
-*''Seek'' is one of the few entities capable of altering a player's appearance upon death, another notable entity being Figure. The dead bodies of those killed in the chase sequence have a similar texture to ''Seek''.
-*In the Hotel+ Update, ''Seek'' can manifest paintings by showing a [[Paintings|painting]] with ''Seek'''s eyes to hint at its arrival.
-**Interacting with the "painting" will show a message that reads "This isn't a painting."
-**''Seek'' is also one of the few entities to be shown in a painting, another being [[Jack]] in the painting ''Captain Jack''.
-*The player's screen will start to slightly shake while in the chase, possibly to make it harder to pass the crawlspaces easily, or to add realism.
-*Specimen 2 from Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion may be ''Seek'''s main inspiration, as both of them appear as humanoids made of slime. Specimen 2 can also appear from the green mud in the HD Renovation of the game.
-*''Seek'''s appearance is based off of Shambling Mass from Undertale due to their appearance on MTT Resort.
-*''Seek'''s eyes' vein texture ID is [https://create.roblox.com/marketplace/asset/1935531878/Imagesveins 1935531878].
-*''Seek'''s eyes that appear before the chase make an ambient noise when they appear and blink.
-**The eyes did not blink in the mobile version.
-**The bigger the eye, the louder the ambience is.
-*''Seek's eyes, the'' ''"Seek'<nowiki/>''s Eye" and "''Seek'' Headphones" UGC items,<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1558906659627466758 "i gave the hat an optical illusion that makes it seem as if the eyes is always looking at you"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref> and the eye on ''Seek'''s head are optical illusions. The eyes are indented inwards and create the illusion that they are always looking at the player (or more precisely, the camera, since most of the time the game is in first person). For this reason, the cameo eyes in the [[Lobby]] and during the pre-chase cutscene do not follow the player but the camera instead.
-*Before the Hotel+ update, ''Seek'''s eyes rarely used to appear in [[The Courtyard|The Courtyard's]] walls or the middle of the room.
-**This has now been changed, due to [[The Greenhouse]] and the fact that ''Seek'''s second chase sequence cannot appear that late now.
-*''Seek'''s eyes can sometimes overlap, making a fusion of 2 or 3 eyes.
-*After the ''Seek'' chase its eyes' ambient sound can still be heard if standing close to the wall.
-**Eye particles can appear after the chase.
-*Seek's eyes can be a navigation to avoid Dupe doors. They will always lead to the right door.
-*''Seek'''s eyes may be inspired by the horror game Eyes, where the player must collect eyes on the walls to see, where the monster is.
-*The red light coming from ''Seek'''s eye may have been inspired by [https://roblox-the-maze-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/The_Orotund The Orotund] from The Maze, who has the same light.
-*''Seek'' is not an anatomically correct human figure, but rather a mound of black slime that tried taking the shape of one, with one of ''Seek'''s eyes being planted on the face.<ref name=":0">[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1575182226203250688?cxt=HHwWgMDUlfP4ldwrAAAA "seek is just a mound of slime that took the shape of something slightly resembling a humanoid, with one of the wall eyes stuck right on the face."] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref><ref name=":1">[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1572713698694955010?cxt=HHwWhIDUgdixs9MrAAAA "seek is not made of anything, seek IS the "goo", the goo only takes forms of things (such as a human, giant hands, eyes)"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>
-*If the player's settings are on the low quality, ''Seek'''s details will not be showed which means it’s simply pure black.
-*It may be the case that, canonically, ''Seek'' is constantly stalking the players and their progress.
-*''Seek'''s arms either kill the player by strangling them or pull them out of a window. However for the latter to be true, the Grand Hallway has to be several yards above ground for fall height to be deadly.
-*The texture used for ''Seek'' and its eyes appears to be the default foil texture on Roblox.
-*''Seek'''s eye blinking sound effect is an official Roblox sound effect.
-*''Seek'' does not scream so much as letting out a guttural noise, done by manipulating itself.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1577873934527205382 "not necessarily a scream, more just a guttural like noise that it makes probably by manipulating itself in some way"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>
-*[[RediblesQW]] has claimed that ''Seek'' most likely could form a mouth if it wanted to.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1577369513808510977 "actually, correction: it doesnt have a mouth, but im sure it could if it wanted to"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>
-*''Seek'' is capable of shapeshifting into virtually anything, although it will likely always be imperfect in some form.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1575747075865997312 "well while seek has the ability to shape itself into pretty much anything that doesnt necessarily mean its good at doing it perfectly or replicating things accurately"] – RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>
-*''Seek'' is Wowzers' favorite major character.<ref>[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:WowzersItsMe?threadId=4400000000000106886#4400000000000411399 Q: "What is your favorite Boss Entity? (Figure, Seek)" A: "seek"] - Wowzers</ref>
-*Wowzers has implied that ''Seek'' will return in Floor 2.<ref>[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:WowzersItsMe?threadId=4400000000000107430#4400000000000415450 Q: "Will seek return on the second floor?" A: "some entities will be returning for the next floor"] -Wowzers</ref>
-*''Seek'' is one of Redibles' favorite entities.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1587138021933072386?cxt=HHwWhICy7ebn0oYsAAAA "in no way did i think a solid black goo man with a cyclops eye would become one of my most beloved and iconic character designs lol"] - RediblesQW, Twitter</ref>
-*[[Screech]] and ''Seek'' have the same black goo/slime covering their bodies, so they're possibly related or connected.
-*Seek in real life would have a height of 1.96 meters (7 studs).
