Dare to look what lies beneath the surface, in a haunting struggle of darkness and light, and discover what it truly means to be human. Explore a flooded city by boat, on foot, or by swimming through the water itself. Meet fantastical creatures and monsters, learn their stories, and solve challenges. Set sail across a beautiful and evolving world where nothing is quite what it seems. Sea of Solitude takes you on a personal journey of a young woman’s loneliness. Hope this helps.When humans get too lonely, they turn into monsters… If there's anything else you want to know, you can reply. I dont know if you agree with what I've said but that's my take on the game. The words 'Are you ready?' emphasises the future and her conquering her inner demons. These are all the good things in her life and this is let's us know, she has overcome all of the bad things of her past and is moving on to a brighter and better future. This island has memories but they seem to be happier and brighter than her previous ones. It has trees and 'authentic' land on it which symbolises healing and control. This island is sunny which enforces that it is a happy place. At the end, when she sacrifices the shell monster, she manages to get to an island. And, it is black because mental health is supposed to be dark and gloomy. The big monster taunts her because the big monster is her depression, her self-hatred, her insecurities, her guilt and her problems. She is in control of them now, it is no longer the other way around.I believe the cities are past memories, this is emphasised as we see her going to these places and are recounting her telling us about her past. And doing this, she saves herself and all those monsters are now a lot smaller and more easily controllable. She stops trying to 'shell' herself away from her issues. Because the shell monster is her protection, at the end, she faces her problems, she accepts herself as she is. This is why at the end, she sacrifices the shell monster to the bigger monster.

I think this monster represents the part of Kay that wants to hide away from her problems rather than face them because the monster is always trying to protect Kay from further harm, it's something that is trying to protect Kay however it is still a monster because at the end of the day, Kay needs to face her problems, not hide from them which is why it is still a monster. We never see the smaller shell monster actually eat Kay. I believe this other monster dosent want Kay to get hurt because it is only ever the monster in the ocean that actually wants to eat her. Now, I believe the other monster is a protection mechanism. Not having friends or family, being on your own in the middle of the sea with your demons within the sea. This is why I believe the boat and the ocean is a metaphor for being isolated or lonely. This is further emphasised as she is literally sat on a boat over the ocean with a single light guiding her through it. The part that isn't tied to the ground or the ocean as the ocean is a metaphor for loneliness.

I also believe that the girl is the happy and authentic part of Kay, the happy part of Kay or the part of her that is free from corruption by the monster. And possibly this big or main monster represents her bad thoughts, all the nasty thoughts, all her insecurities and self doubts. I also believe this monster represents her guilt as well, all the things she feels guilty for like the bullies with Sunny or with her mum and dad who end up fighting later in the game. I think the big monster in the ocean represents her depression, the worst of herself. So, in my opinion, the monsters represent a different part of Kay that she is trying to suppress.
