Sea of Solitude is about this main character, a young woman named Kay, suffering from such loneliness that her inner feelings — darkness, anger, worthlessness, hopelessness — emerges outside her and she becomes a monster. The game is about finding out why this happened to her and how to turn her back into a human.
