I played both Fallen London and Sunless Sea, so it was almost sure that I would buy Sunless Skies if the developers did not screw it up. Which they din't! Sunless Skies has i) same quality of stories, ii) better gameplay and iii) actually more stories than Sunless Sea. So, what is the game about? It is a top-down 2D game with breathtaking graphics, where you command as acaptain a spacefaring steam locomotive and explore the High Wilderness, visit mulitple ports and follow tons of interesting (text and interaction based) stories. You have to trade and fight to sustain yourself and your crew, but the core of the game are the stories - these are written in unbelievably creative English and these stories will keep you going on and on, with intention to discover another secret of the unusual and imaginative world of High Wilderness. The world, where the Renewed Empress murdered Sun, devils are trading souls, mushrooms explore the human ports, Royal custom officers search your cargo and rebellious Tacketies fight the loyalist Stovepipes.
