We last heard about Sea of Solitude almost a year back at E3 2018. It stood out amongst the pack for having some unconventional but gorgeous looking visuals. Even more impressive is the fact that it was announced with Electronic Arts as the publisher. Now, the Jo-Mei Games has a release date and that date is July 5 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Origin.
At release the game will retail for $19.99 (USD).
Sea of Solitude places you in the shoes of a young woman named Kay. She's lost in a flooded world that is plagued by monsters. A lot of the game's themes revolve around the idea and the feeling of loneliness. There is a new trailer, which can be found below. The trailer is cropped very oddly, just in case you thought something was wrong on your end.
“Sea of Solitude centers on the essence of loneliness and tugs on the heartstrings of its players by mirroring their own reality. It’s by far the most artistic and personal project I’ve ever created, written during a very emotional time in my life,†said Cornelia Geppert, CEO of Jo-Mei Games. “Designing characters based on emotions was a deeply personal achievement for our team and we’re so excited for players to soon experience Kay’s powerful story of self-discovery and healing.â€
Designed with a striking visual style, Sea of Solitude is an intimate adventure across a beautiful and evolving world where nothing is quite as it seems. Kay’s journey unfolds around dynamic environments as atmospheric in-game weather help visualize the characters’ emotions. Players unlock new areas to explore by overcoming emotional challenges and progressively revealing light and color into the dark and stormy world. Through unique encounters with a variety of beautiful and terrifying monsters, Kay will discover why her loneliness has turned her into a monster and what it will take to change back to a human.
