    Recommended 100%! Played Sunless Sea and was enamored by the world building and the story. So trying Sunless Skies was a no-brainer. The music is top-notch and super immersive, so if you can, support the devs and buy the music DLC too! If Failbetter makes a sequel/prequel set in this universe with this gameplay-style, I would be over the moon.

    I would recommend Sunless Skies only to the most hardcore Hufflepuff-pilled daydreamer, lost in the weirdest of fantasies. Anyone else will find the game lacking. The atmosphere is top-notch, art and music great for the most part (excluding human drawings that are sometimes comically bad). I would argue that the first two areas, Reach and Albion, were noticeably more interesting and finished than later Eleutheria…
