ABOUT unseen

Designed in partnership with survivors, those on the front lines of intervention, the nonprofit sector, and students from various universities, Unseen takes you into the complex world of human trafficking through the lens of various characters and their families.

Unseen is a virtual reality (multi-route), interactive experience in which the user finds "herself" in a warehouse where they must avoid patrolling guards (traffickers) and find their mother or daughter respectively. As they navigate the warehouse, they can hear/view various memories that start to provide the user with more and more information about human trafficking through details of their stories and the stories of others whom they have come across during their journeys.

Rated 13+, Unseen is as applicable for youth as it is for adults and first responders, and is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to make a difference in the fight against human trafficking.
