A lonely boy runs through a grey, hostile world with nothing but a cat and his hope. Seen is a short 2.5D puzzle platformer that mixes runner sections with quiet environmental puzzles, minimalist shapes, a strong soundtrack and a story that hits harder than its simple look suggests. Sad, strange and over far too soon.
