Sea of Solitude will be releasing digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on July 5, according to a press release issued today by EA. Developed by German studio Jo-Mei Games, the story-driven adventure game will “take 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 experience Kay’s powerful story of self-discovery and healing soon.”

First revealed at EA Play 2018, Sea of Solitude certainly posses a unique tone, and the trailer really does drive home a strong sense of loneliness. The game is being released under the EA Originals imprint, a publishing offshoot set up by EA to work specifically with smaller development teams, and help with the development of the interesting indie title.

Sea of Solitude is available for pre-order now and will release on July 5 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via the Origin store.
