Description
Take the helm of your customised steamship and set sail for the unknown! Sunless Sea is a 2D game of discovery, survival and loneliness set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London. Will you succumb to madness and cannibalism on the black waters? Or return home triumphant with a hold full of precious loot?

Events can turn out differently every game - sometimes, even if you make the same choices. Will you lose your sweetheart to a curse? Redeem, betray or consume the Genial Magician? Sell your soul to the Wistful Deviless or spurn her advances? Is the Dawn Machine your salvation, or your doom?

You are the captain. It’s your call.
  • Light and dark. Stray too far from the gas-lamps of civilisation and your crew will grow fearful and eventually lose their sanity. But there is treasure out there in the darkness…
  • Upgrade your steamship with powerful engines, flensing cannons, and pneumatic torpedo guns. Or just buy a bigger, better ship.
  • Hire unique officers like the Haunted Doctor and the Irrepressible Cannoneer. Each has a story to tell, if you can draw it out of them.
  • Choose from a menagerie of ship’s mascots: the Comatose Ferret, the Wretched Mog, the Elegiac Cockatoo, and more!
  • Trade silk and souls, mushroom wine, and hallucinogenic honey.

You call this fun?

It's my opinion that this developer must be a big player in the gaming journalism industry, with numerous friends in high places - and/or much greasing of palms taking place. How else can a game so underwhelming, so obtuse, garner numerous 10/10 reviews? 10/10 is very rare to see, especially for an indie game, and I've already seen two on the web... all for a game which does NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT possess the dazzling, enthralling writing that it's made out to have, and does not foster even a modicum of fun factor, with it's quirky, mystifiying, undocumented gaming mechanics, buggy tutorial (I'd get the audio que for a new tutorial message, but the window was blank) and horrible economic balancing. Good luck trying to figure out the idiosyncracys of it's gameplay mechanics, as there's no manual to speak of. No manual... WTF? This borders on the criminal, for a dev who has concocted a very singular game with odd and enigmatic gameplay. I load up a game to have fun, dear developer, not flounder in bewilderment trying to figure out how to play it.

I regret being this game

I don't know what mark they were trying to hit with this one, but it certainly wasn't fun or entertaining for me. Found the game tedious.
