Unfortunately or not, my experience with this game is shaped by Sunless Sea and Fallen London. This lead me to a feeling of strangeness in the new universe far above the Sea. Took some time to swallow it, get used to it and, finally, love it. The great thing about Failbetter is obviously writing. Nevertheless, the Sunless Sea was lacking, for me, due to the 'lose-it-all' captain death mechanic. This is the best change in the 'sequel'. You don't have to be afraid of death, it's just a reason to try creating a new character with a new story. Would totally recommend for anyone who looks for a story and is keen on rather lighter dose of action in one's games.
