This gargantuan girl huddled inside a giant shell lobbing verbal daggers at you is a meaningful first encounter because of what she symbolizes and how obstructive she is throughout. The incipient stages do a great job of communicating those topics too.
Topics like loneliness and depression are potent ideas to unearth. And I mean it when I say this: I believe the parallels are instantly recognizable and can understand why this would feel so important to the artists. Many astute readers could parse out the potential metaphors and themes on this alone. Some seem primarily intent on obstructing her path or outright killing her others are less hostile and in need of redemption. Along the journey, Kay stumbles upon several other black creatures with blood-red eyes. She initially meets a flying girl in a raincoat whose radiance acts to guide her through this depressing world. She’s also transformed into a creature: her body robed in black feathers, eyes changed to crimson, and wearing an orange backpack. Developer Jo-Mei Games does a satisfactory job at crafting a nuanced audio-visual canvas, but this ship ultimately sinks by not awarding latitude for unique interaction in both its story and gameplay.Īfter that written intro, Kay wakes up alone on a dingy floating in unfamiliar waters. Slating an innocuous preamble may seem petty, yet it also strikes at the weakest aspect of this game’s overall message and function. As I’m often left confounded by such an unnecessary report, so too am I failing to see what purpose is accomplished with Solitude’s preface. I know this may sound cynical but surely I can’t be the only one who gets flashbacks to Ubisoft’s introductory text splashed on all their modern games how their games are “made by a diverse group of people” and so on. Kay’s journey is about what it means to be human and live with all of life’s ups and downs.” - Cornelia Geppert Sea of Solitude is a personal project about loneliness inspired by my own experiences and other real life stories.
