Sea of Solitude will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Origin worldwide on July 5 for $19.99, publisher Electronic Arts and developer Jo-Mei Games announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Electronic Arts:
Sea of Solitude is an emotional experience that takes players on a personal journey to overcome a young woman’s inner loneliness. Players must help Kay see below the surface and beyond, guiding her through a flooded city landscape in a deeply touching tale of darkness and light. As waters rise and fall to reflect her own state of mind, Kay will meet fantastical creatures and monsters, learn their stories and solve challenges to rid the world of tainted memories.
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.”
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.
Sea of Solitude is an innovative EA Originals game developed by the talented team at Jo-Mei Games in Berlin, Germany. EA Originals helps shine a light on some of the most passionate, independent and talented game studios across the globe. These games come from highly creative game makers who love to enchant and inspire players.

Never expected in 2019 to see a videogame trailer in 4:3 aspect resolution. This game had a good moment at E3 I think last year ? The creator seemed very inspired. Tackling depression if I remember correctly and making it a subject of the game.

Was this that game that was at E3 last year being presented by that super passionate woman? She seemed to really care about this game, hope it turns out well.

Looks interesting to me and I liked the showing of this game last year. But the price is too high in my region, will wait for a sale later this year.

I will probably get this tomorrow once i buy a PSN card to put some money to my wallet. Game looks interesting and it reminds me a lot of Rime which i loved.

Terrible song choice for the trailer though. Probably another shitty EA marketing decision.

Thanks for the reminder, OP. I'd forgotten about this game.

It's running 73 on Metacritic after 24 reviews. So not bad, not great. I might pick it up just based on its uniqueness.
