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.

Slow. Boring. Confusing... fun?

As a bonus this 2d sprite game has low FPS on my 4Ghz gaming rig :/

Zzzzzz

A quality of production of a web browser game made in standard .exe format, with a bunch of text and zero substance. If you want an Adventure and Action game with ships in 3rd person perspective, go for Windward. I would even recommend semi-finished game called Pirates Of Black Cove, over this. These two games are different regarding the theme, but at least they are more fun to play. This lovecraftian steampunk grabage ship Adventure game is not worth it.

Sublime.

The word "sublime" is bandied around a lot in media circles, whether this be used to describe a painting, written work or performance or what-have-you. Sunless Sea is that sublime 'event' in gaming that may comfortably sit alongside 'The Void' and 'Planescape:Torment' as labours of love by people who know they're enormously creative and innovative and happy to let us know it. Sunless Sea is something to be experienced rather than play; it's not perfect but what is? Someone once wrote that upon logging into EvE Online, they felt a sense of unease and apprehension; that is exactly what some players are going to feel launching Sunless Sea for the Nth time. Recommended? Of course it is.

I got bored almost immediately

I always try out obscure looking games, that maybe turn out tt be hidden gems. This is not one of them. I got bored so fast it was hard to believe. The writing seemed to be okay, but there are so many great books out there, if you wanna read a great story. The extremely boring game just gets in the way.
