The voice acting wavers between good and mediocre, though I applaud the actors on their effort for some of them, English is clearly not their first language, yet they all still deliver acceptable performances and worked hard to hit proper inflections. While this setup is promising, the execution is a mixed bag. Along the way, Kay confronts the demons facing her loved ones and herself as she strives to return to normal. The game’s protagonist and player character, a young woman named Kay, has transformed into a monster because of this loneliness and now traverses in a motorboat through a surreal sunken city, encountering her similarly monsterified family and friends. Sea of Solitude builds off an intriguing premise, that loneliness turns you into a monster. There’s no blood or gore, but Kay can be killed-by being devoured by a monster or dragged underwater to her demise, to give a couple of examples-and will sometimes scream in agony. Small children could be scared by some of the imagery in the game’s darker moments, too. The game also deals with heavy topics, such as loneliness, bullying, suicide, and divorce.
