About the Game

The Girl Who Sees is a point-and-click adventure and tactical RPG hybrid that explores WWII history and Philippine fantasy. In 1945, a village girl Quina survives under Japanese occupation. She helps a dwarf translate a mysterious scroll in hopes it will explain why she sees Tagalog words wherever she turns. Aid both human and magical, fight mythical foes, and restore balance to the realm.
