Play Overview
Sea of Solitude (2019) is an adventure where you play a young woman, Kay, with such strong loneliness that her feelings turn her into a monster. As you explore a flooded city you discover dark creatures that you must deal with -- by uncovering their underlying emotional disorder -- to progress and, as you do, slowly unpick what happened to Kay.
While you do this, you encounter the audible inner dialogue of your character that tells a story of quarrelling parents, the emotional isolation of a friend and the terrible experiences of her brother being bullied.
The game world mirrors each of these traumas with metaphorical creatures and obstacles to overcome. "All you care about is yourself, that's why you will fail," states the trailer, clearly signposting that this is how you don't fail. While the game can be overly literal at times and resolve longstanding issues relatively quickly, the deft combination of interaction, emotion and challenge creates a unique space to step inside these challenges and character failings. Through this you can, to some extent, share the experience of what it feels like to be affected by loneliness, bullying, toxic relationships, depression and a troubling past.
