Sunless Sea v2.2.11

Sunless Sea is a Gothic-horror role-playing game that plunges you into a vast, underground ocean teeming with danger, mystery and dark storytelling. From the moment you lift anchor, you’ll find yourself captaining a Victorian steamship through fog-shrouded waters where giant crabs, sentient icebergs and swarms of bats lurk just beyond the beam of your lantern. With an emphasis on exploration, nail-biting real-time combat and a richly woven narrative, Sunless Sea keeps you on the edge of your seat as you balance fuel, supplies, crew morale and sanity.

Key Features
• Atmospheric, hand-drawn art: Every island, lighthouse and prison ship is rendered with striking detail, from glittering ice castles to lily-pad prisons and the enigmatic Dawn Machine.
• Deep, branching storytelling: Over 350,000 words of text deliver haunting tales and secrets—find your father’s bones, shape London’s destiny or challenge the gods of the deep.
• High-stakes exploration: Light the way with your ship’s lamps or venture into pitch black to reap greater rewards—at the risk of terror, madness and cannibalism.
• Real-time nautical combat: Upgrade your vessel with engines, cannons, pneumatic torpedoes—or simply buy a bigger ship—to face Zee-beasts, spider-crewed dreadnoughts and rival captains.
• Unique crew and mascots: Recruit officers like the Haunted Doctor or the Irrepressible Cannoneer, each with their own backstory. Adopt a mascot—Comatose Ferret, Wretched Mog or Elegiac Cockatoo—to bolster your ship’s spirit.
• Trade and smuggle: Ferry silk, souls, mushroom wine or hallucinogenic honey between ports, weighing profit against the ever-present threat of interception.
• Legacy system: Your captain will die. Pass on heirlooms, resources and a family home to the next generation of zailors, building a bittersweet legacy of triumphs and tragedies.

Developed by London’s boutique indie studio Failbetter Games, Sunless Sea delivers a uniquely hostile world that rewards curiosity and daring. Every voyage tests your resourcefulness, as fuel dwindles, the crew’s resolve falters and nightmares loom. Whether you choose a cautious path along the lit routes of civilization or plunge into the uncharted black, victory and calamity lie side by side.
