About:
Sunless Skies is a gothic horror roleplay game with a focus on exploration and exquisite storytelling.
Command a flying steam locomotive
The only thing between you and the waste-winds, storms and cosmic lightning is your engine. Tend
and upgrade it, buy weaponry and exotic equipment, and keep her hull in good shape to hold the
hostile Heavens at bay.
Explore a unique and dangerous universe
You play the captain of a locomotive, a steam engine fitted for off-rail travel: sailing the stars, leading
your crew into trouble and out of their minds. Smuggle souls, barter for crates of time, stop for cricket
and a cup of tea.
Discover more of the deep, dark and marvellous Fallen London Universe, as seen in our previous
game, SUNLESS SEA. (You can play either game first, the stories coexist happily.)
Fight her majesty's agents, pirates and abominations of the skies
Face ships of differing factions and unknowable beasts each with different attacks and agendas.
Survive starvation, madness and terror.
Manage your crew’s condition and your captain’s nightmares. Balance fuel and supplies against your
desire for new horizons, knowledge or riches. Struggle with sights never meant for human eyes. How
will the dark change you?
Recruit officers on your adventures
Populate your ship with unique, upgradeable officers, each with their own quest to fulfill: an
incautious driver, an incognito princess, a repentant devil, and - dear god! - your Aunt?! How did she
get out here?
Discover your captain’s past through narrative levelling
Reveal your captain’s past deeds as facets of their personality as you progress. Most captains will
perish, but their actions will leave a mark on the world for their descendants - for better or worse.
Pass on some effects, and return anew to deal with events that your previous captain put into motion.
THE WORLD
The High Wilderness is a wondrous vision of space: shifting, wind-swept ruins where the laws of the
cosmos are not as we imagined.
The stars are alive. They are the Judgements: vast intelligences that govern all things. But they are
dying. One by one, something is snuffing them out, leaving their thrones empty.
Unfettered by trivial things like gravity, the Victorian Empire have pushed their tendrils into this new
world, and their ambition is savage. They have built a new Sun. The Empress Victoria reigns from the
Throne of Hours, which gives her control over time.
Your Captain and crew must carve out a life between the stars. Will you support her majesty and the
establishment, or the working class rebels who yearn for freedom from the Workworlds?
FEATURES
- Multiple, intertwining stories with a depth and richness unlike anything else in games, inspired by
CS Lewis, Jules Verne, Lovecraft and HG Wells - Lush, hand-drawn 2d art to match
- Four giant regions to explore: celestial wilderness, impossible industrial empire, pagan midnight
expanse, and the mysterious Blue Kingdom. - A choice of play styles: build a lineage of captains as each dies, or reload your most recent captain
and continue - Key remapping and full controller support
