EA’s program for supporting small developers, EA Originals, has announced that the second game to be brought out under this banner will be Sea Of Solitude from German indie developer Jo-Mei Games. The stunning looking indie adventure title got its first look in a series of tantalizing gifs on the developer’s twitter last year. Then a gameplay trailer and developer interview earlier this year was released through journalist Anthony Carboni’s YouTube channel, which you can see below, and the already impressive title stands to benefit greatly from the considerable backing that the mega-publisher can offer.
As you may know, Sea of Solitude was first revealed earlier this year, but that was before EA decided to jump on board to help publish and develop the game.
Check out the Trailer:
“They use it to selectively bring small indie titles to larger platforms through their massive publishing platform, and a little game from Jo-Mei Games called Sea of Solitude was just added. “At times it is very challenging to dig that deep into your own feelings like core fears, longing and anger, but at the same time it is the most fulfilling thing”. In the new game, players will get to play out their adventure in a submerged city as Kay, a young woman whose loneliness magically transforms her into a monster.
The major difference is that there’s a much darker theme emanating around Sea of Solitude, as Kay attempts to retrieve the memories of monstrous animals. As she embarks on a journey to uncover what has actually happened, she comes across a wide array of other monsters, each with its own secret.”
