About the Game

All good things must come to an end. And all bad things…

I’ve just had the most horrible nightmare. It was… There was… I can’t recall…
But… I wanted to scream and I couldn’t because…

Melia is horrified to discover that her mouth has been sewn shut! What happened? She can’t remember. However the Kingdom is overrun with strange Monsters that must have seen everything. If she ends their suffering they might help her find echoes of her lost memories.

Exploring trauma

Play as Melia, a young girl who realizes she has been mutilated.

As you face the Monsters, discover how a deep trauma impacted an entire family and how suffering only breeds more suffering…

Fortunately, you won’t have to face these dangerous Monsters alone. You will be joined by companions, each with their own lives and quirks that will add a touch of humour to the story.

Among them:

  • Anselin, the rebellious herbalist who dreams of changing the world through the might of the sickle and… garden trowel… 

  • Nalya, the brutally honest archer, who will say out loud anything that crosses her mind… especially what she should keep to herself… 

  • Hassan, the decorous pyromancer, son of an emperor and aspiring politician, who panics whenever he has to deviate from etiquette…

A dynamic and captivating RPG

Explore 10 unique zones, each with their own atmosphere, history, secrets… and Monsters. Strange creatures that you’ll have to face in dynamic and clever turn based combat.

In Seen NOT Heard you can experience a variety of playstyles. You can pick companions and upgrade them at your own pace and craft their equipment. If you are the inquisitive kind, you might discover powerful synergies.

Meet the Kingdom’s citizens, each weirder than the next. Some might express surprise at Melia’s sewn-up mouth. You’ll be able to interact but don’t forget that you can’t exactly talk…

A peaceful atmosphere

Discover a world inspired by traditional sketch and watercolor art, where one can feel the texture of brushstrokes over grainy paper.


The original music was made by Jean-Pascal Vielfaure, composer of the Uncle Albert series. Its main instrument is the hangdrum which creates a calm and poetic atmosphere.
