Sunless Skies

Captain a spacefaring steam locomotive

As a new Victorian empire takes to the stars, lead your hapless crew into trouble - and out of their minds. Smuggle souls. Barter for barrels of time. Stop for cricket (and a nice cup of tea).

Create your past

Choose who you were before you became a skyfarer. An urchin? A priest? A revolutionary? What brought you here, and what are you hiding? Each time your character advances, choose another facet of their history. Were they the Black Sheep of the family? Do they have a Lost Love?

Most of your captains will die. But each will leave their mark on the world, and an inheritance for those who follow - for better or worse.

Explore a beautiful, hostile universe

Discover more of the deep, dark, marvellous Fallen London Universe, as seen in Sunless Sea. (But you don't have to play that first - this is a totally new story, not a sequel.)

Unfettered by gravity, the Victorian Empire reaches across the skies. It has built a new sun. The Empress reigns from the Throne of Hours, which gives her control over time. The High Wilderness is a wondrous, horrifying vision of space where winds howl through shattered celestial ruins, fogs coil amidst stellar jungles, and industrial sprawl chokes the heavens with smog.

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.

Gameplay

Maintain and upgrade your locomotive with exotic weaponry and equipment. Face rival locomotives, monsters, and abominations. Manage your crew's morale, fuel, and supplies. Recruit officers, each with their own quests. Battle starvation, mutiny, terror and nightmares.
