Train goes choo chooo
I very much like it. it is cozy and sometimes very much a little eldritch. got some good stories and if you dont like reading, well i suppose this might not be too much of a game for you. The ambiance, the music, the noises great! anyhow feel free to disagree, i had much fun with it

Sadly unplayable
This is a unique game in which you read things on your phone while your computer displays a train engine endlessly sailing through the same three landscapes for hours while nothing happens. This game supposedly has a nice story somewhere, but I don't know how you get to it, because your train moves so slowly that it takes literal hours before you can do anything.

Waste of time
The problem with this game is the same as the problem with Sunless skies, 99% of what your'e doing is useless busywork that's not interesting at ALL. You're a locomotive in space... ok, so what next? Next you go from point A to point B over the course of hours at tedious speeds. Then you get a nice chose your own adventure short story in point B and go back to point A, rince and repeat. I thought Sunless Seas was boring but hey, I actually liked Fallen London, and everybody said this was a major improvement. And you know what? This is a major improvement over Sunless Sea, but that doesn't actually make the game play good or compelling. I bought this a few years back as a way of supporting Fallen London, I do not do subscriptions, sorry for not being sorry. And frankly, I feel as cheated with this one as I did with Sunless Sea. Do I regret having bought this? Honestly, yes. Sunless sky should have been enough of a thank you for the fun I had with Fallen London, I really shouldn't have bothered with Zubmariner and Sunless Skies, they're all extremely bad games. (not an exaggeration) If you want a decent game go try Fallen London, it's free. If that's too restrictive for your given it's limited number of actions go read Lovecraft. But do not come here expecting a good game in the same vain. The devs that made this and Sunless Sea really do not understand what they made the core gameplay loop of these games. They think it's narrative, it's not. It's wasting time going from point A to point B at ludicrously slow speeds. It's not reading, it's watching a small locomotive float over a background Amanita would be proud of. If I wanted an Amanita game I would have bought one. I was here for story, not interminable waiting.

Lag???
How can a game that is literally a progression of low resolution images and 2d animations have performance issues. How can my 1080ti which runs Fallout 4 at 4k at 60fps stutter and lag when running this? The answer to both these questions is fire one or more of the probably overpaid art team and hire someone who knows how to optimize a game. Sunless skies is a beautiful game that runs the way I would expect it if I traveled back in time and installed it on the Windows 95 PC I used to play Riven on when I was 11 years old. What makes its lack luster performance even more disappointing is the pathetically low resolution of the game world. There is no reason that simplistic graphics such as these aren't rendering at high resolutions. Instead what you get is blurry, barely 1 K textures which severely impact the quality of an otherwise expertly designed setting. tl;dr a beautiful concept hampered by poor optimization and low image quality

If you liked Sunless Sea
If you liked Sunless Sea, you'll like this. Basically everything is an improvement and the stories in it are amazing. If you like your games to be rich in lore and mystery and such like, then this is the one. It's really a great game and worth the price.
