2. Sea Of Solitude Is An Intriguing EA Original

Once again proving their steadfast commitment to their EA Originals label, EA revealed their latest new indie title, Sea of Solitude. Developed by German studio Jo-Mei, the third-person adventure game apparently revolves around the theme of loneliness, causing a young woman named Kay to become a monster. The game's goal, it seems, is once again revealing her inner humanity.

The game's clearly steeped in allegory, and its writer-director Cornelia Geppert noted that Sea of Solitude is based on some of her own personal experiences.

Though it's easy to get exhausted by the sheer glut of "artful indies" that seem to release every month, this certainly looks like a cut above the average, and considering the typically high standard of the EA Originals that get revealed at E3, it's easy to be confident about this one.
