The game can be completed for 5-6 hours if you have the time but if you want to religiously complete the collectibles, then you can add around an hour or two on top of that. ItвЂ™s quite frustrating since the storytelling itself is really delightful as they tackle tough situations that even reality doesnвЂ™t want to face. Then Kay follows them around to comfort them somehow and deal with the monsters that they themselves created, then clear out the corruption from their hearts. Every character that you have to face, you have to listen to their story вЂ“ the root cause of this existential crisis. It swims really fast and you will have to be really strategic when is it the right time to swim for your life.ДЄside from the monsters that you need to avoid, there are also puzzles and corruption that you need to contain. Ready to devour you when you stay on the water for too long. You will have to be careful in crossing the seas because one of KayвЂ™s monster is a hairy whale-like-creature with red eyes and fangs that could go on for days. Dealing with your inner demons has never been literal for this game. Simple enough but as you go through the journey, the city hides its monsters below sea levels. This game doesnвЂ™t really offer any objective or goal to-do list but you are given the ability to light a flare that will guide you where to go. Strolling through the rooftops or swimming from one building to the next isnвЂ™t the only challenge that you are going to face. Helping Kay navigate that sunken city is just the beginning of her journey.ДЄs you wake up in a sunken Berlin-based city, you will have to navigate using only a boat. Loneliness takes a lot of form and our minds can be very creative in creating that destructive world. I can literally say that Kay has the shittiest life there is! All possible social problems known to man are lived by her and I genuinely feel sorry for her. As I played through this game, the story itself is quite short. She has to face relentless and distorted monsters to emerge victoriously and shed her monstrous form. This is what Sea of Solitude is trying to tell us as we play as Kay, a troubled woman, who has to face her inner demons and lift herself up from the loneliness that she is surrounded from and help the people around her too. But one thing they never told us though, that they exist within our minds and in that spot вЂ“ they grow darker and deadlier by the day. When we were kids, we were always told that monsters do not exist and you can never find one beneath your bed or hiding in your closet.
