Sea of Solitude is a narrative adventure following Kay, a young woman whose loneliness is reflected in a surreal, flooded city. As she journeys through it, she encounters monsters with stories connected to the people around her and to her own struggles.
Explore the city by boat, on foot, and by swimming. Navigate its waterways and rooftops, solve environmental puzzles, take on platforming challenges, and confront creatures as you uncover more about their stories.
The world changes alongside Kay’s journey: water levels rise and fall, and dark, stormy surroundings give way to light and color. These shifts reshape the landscape and open new areas and challenges to explore.
Players who enjoy Sea of Solitude often praise its stylized visuals, creature designs, and atmospheric flooded-city setting, along with its emotional themes and reflective story. Some also appreciate the music and the way the changing world supports the mood. Other reviewers find the writing too explicit or shallow and the gameplay too simple or repetitive; awkward controls, voice acting, and EA app problems are also recurring complaints.
