In a world where the city of London has fallen, it’s up to brave steamship captains to explore the depths of your new world. You navigate the Sunless Sea, known as Unterzee, to try to map the new world you are in. It is full of friendship and horrors. How much of each you discover is entirely up to you.
Sunless Sea is terrifying in all the best ways. If you are already familiar with Fallen London, take a look at how this world works. It is a horror game involving the fall of Victorian London under the earth’s crust. It now exists alongside the Unterzee, a dark and merciless ocean beneath the world as we know it.
Game
You are the captain of your steamship, and who you are is up to you. A short sequence of dialogue choices lets you choose from a variety of backgrounds and motivations that make you who you are. Some of these are locked and we’ll talk about how to unlock them shortly.
The game works like an open sandbox-style RPG in that there is a definitive story, but it changes depending on the choices you make and the areas you explore. You can play as a brave captain who fights brave battles and commits only the most heroic deeds. One day, as you battle a deadly Lifeberg, your ship and crew sadly sink to the bottom of the sea.
But that’s not the end of your game. Your character does not resurrect; there is no “Game Over” sequence. You simply have to create another captain and explore again. Depending on how your captain did it, some of your equipment and knowledge switches to the new one. But all this exploring what have you done? Can’t wait to start over as all maps are random. The horror starts all over again.
