Sunless Sea
Another new indie game on Steam and another new first impressions article & gameplay video!
I've played Sunless Sea for close to 5 hours now and I still feel like there's so much more to learn and experience. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. I love games like that! By this time in most games, you have a pretty good idea of how to play the game and what you need to do to win. That's not the case in Sunless Sea. The game is more like a choose your own adventure novel with a few video game mechanics, a relaxing soundtrack and some fantastic graphics slapped on top of it. Here's a little information about the game:
Take the helm of your customised steamship and set sail for the unknown! Sunless Sea is a 2D game of discovery, survival and loneliness set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London. Will you succumb to madness and cannibalism on the black waters? Or return home triumphant with a hold full of precious loot?
Events can turn out differently every game - sometimes, even if you make the same choices. Will you lose your sweetheart to a curse? Redeem, betray or consume the Genial Magician? Sell your soul to the Wistful Deviless or spurn her advances? Is the Dawn Machine your salvation, or your doom?
You tend to lose yourself as well as your track on time when you're reading a good book. Sunless Sea has pulled me and I don't care to be let go. Check out the gameplay video below! I'd like to hear your opinion on the game or any questions that you may have!
