Yo, ho,ho and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lovies! Yer favorite app pirate is here again ready to give ye another dose of review of another app that ye my find interesting. I remember when me was a young lad and had this crush on a girl, this old salt didn’t know what to do as I was a shy boy. Har,har, har! Young lads and lasses nowadays don’t have problems talking to their crushes and that’s thanks to chat apps like Facebook messengers. Me found this app called Seen by Polychroma Games. It’s a simulation game that’s based on the Facebook app. Batten down the hatches and let’s start with the review.
App is Familiar
The app has an interface that’s based on Facebook Messenger. You have probably used the said messenger before and if that’s the case, Seen will be instantly familiar to you as it looks exactly like that. You’ll see the name and online status on top just like you would on Facebook. How the conversation is listed is also the same. The only difference is that instead of typing your own answer, you will be choosing from the available option, which will determine the flow and outcome of this simulation story.
It Gives Various Outcomes
What’s nice about simulation stories like this is that there are various outcomes to the same story. Everything depends on the choices that you make. So even if you repeat the game from the beginning and choose other options, it will still be interesting as you wouldn’t know what the next outcome will be. It’s like you’ll be in a different story than the previous one.
It’s Realistic
The app follows the story of high school student Mark who fell in love with another student named Nicole. You will play the role of Mark, which is fine if you were a boy. While girls can still play this, it would have been better if you can choose to play the girl’s role instead. Otherwise, it’s realistic because it’s as if you are really talking to a real person. Moreover, the name Nicole can be changed, but you’ll need coins to do this. Having the option to change it at least once for free would be nice.
Offers Interesting Features
What makes it different from other story simulation game is that it offers the option for you to make your own story, which you can then share to other players. Other players can also do the same and you can download their story and play them.
The Pros
It’s familiar and realistic as if you are really talking to someone on Facebook. There are various outcomes based on your choices. You can write your own story and share it to others, as well as play the stories that other players created.
The Cons
There is no option to choose which character you will play. It’s defaulted to Mark and it can’t be changed. The name can be changed but using premium currency.
The Verdict
Seen is a fantastic app overall. It would have been better to have the option to change the character you play, especially if you are a girl, but otherwise, it’s good in general. If you are into story simulation games, this one will make you hooked.
