Both keep coming back to the same thing: dystopia

One thread runs through both: dog

The difference: Not nearly as epic as Flow

The story of the last Seal Child’s journey home. After their mother’s disappearance, Ben and Saoirse are sent to live with Granny in the city. When they resolve to return to their home by the sea, their journey becomes a race against time as they are drawn into a world Ben knows only from his mother’s folktales.
