First presented in last year's E3 presentation, the indie adventure game Sea of Solitude finally has a release date. In a press release from publisher Electronic Arts, it's revealed that the title developed by German studio Jo-Mei Games will have a worldwide digital release on July 5th for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC through EA's own gaming platform, Origin.
Developer Cornelia Geppert also joined in on the announcements with her own tweet:
In Sea of Solitude, players will get to play as a young woman named Kay who finds herself in a mysterious urban cityscape fighting which appears to be a metaphor for her loneliness. It weaves an emotional journey for both player and the character itself, depicting inner turmoils with unique, dreamlike aesthetics and opening up more of the world as the story goes along.
"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 the latest title from EA Originals, a program set up by Electronic Arts to help independent titles see publication. Previous titles from the collection include Zoink's Fe, and Hazelight Studios' A Way Out.
