Sea of Solitude is an adventure game, developed by Germany-based independent studio Jo-Mei Games, and published by Electronic Arts. It is the second game released under the auspices of EA Games, a part of its EA Originals program. The program gives small development studios a chance to leave a mark in the gamers' consciousness, something which they could not achieve on their own. In SoS, the player controls Kay, a young woman, who has gone through a lot in recent time. Emotionally separated from her friends, surrounded by the noise of her parents' arguments and the torment of her bullied brother, she finds herself traveling through a sea, facing all those difficult emotions, manifested as terrifying monsters.Origin of SolitudeSoS began as an idea in the head of Cornelia Geppert.The director of the game chose to express her own fears and emotions through the electronic medium.
