SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is a strategic exploration and research game where players lead scientific organisations searching for evidence of intelligent life beyond Earth. Players launch probes, conduct observations, develop technologies, and gather data while balancing limited resources and competing scientific priorities.

The game combines engine building, strategic planning, and exploration as players build increasingly sophisticated programmes and respond to discoveries across the solar system. Long term efficiency and careful timing are essential as players compete to make the most influential breakthroughs.
