Create Your Legacy

Shape your captain's past. Were you an urchin, a priest, or a revolutionary? Uncover the secrets that brought you to the High Wilderness and influence your character's development with each perilous journey. The skies are unforgiving, and death is often inevitable. But each captain leaves their mark, forging a legacy and an inheritance for those who follow.

Explore a Beautiful and Hostile Universe

Delve deeper into the rich lore of the Fallen London Universe, previously explored in Sunless Sea. Discover secrets and wonders, as you traverse the cosmos seeking fortune and answers.

Improve Your Locomotive: Your Key to Survival

Your locomotive is your lifeline. Maintain and upgrade it with exotic weaponry and equipment, such as the powerful Pneumatic Mining Array or the rapid-fire Brassraven. Learn to craft devastating weapons like the Wrath of Heaven from your vanquished foes. When you've amassed sufficient wealth, invest in entirely new locomotives. Will you choose the Pellinore-class Trader for its capacity, or the menacing Medea-class Destroyer?

Engage in Intense Combat

Face off against rival locomotives, from scrappy pirates to the experimental warships of Her Majesty's navy. Battle terrifying monsters, like the nightmarish Undeparted and swarms of irate Chorister-bees. Manipulate factions, exploit enemy weaknesses, and utilize Full Steam mode to evade danger or pursue your quarry. This combat RPG demands strategy and skill.

Survive Starvation, Madness, and Terror

Manage your crew's morale and combat your captain's growing nightmares. Carefully balance fuel and supplies against your aspirations to explore new horizons, pursue forbidden knowledge, or seize unclaimed riches. Beware: the darkness changes us all.

Recruit Unique Officers

Populate your ship with upgradeable officers, each possessing their own quest: a repentant devil, an incognito princess, an entire brigade of rats, and, inexplicably, your own aunt. Unravel their stories and how they came to the skies!

The World of Sunless Skies

Unfettered by gravity, the Victorian Empire extends its reach into the heavens. It has constructed a new sun, and the Empress rules from the Throne of Hours, wielding control over time itself. The High Wilderness is a captivating yet terrifying vision of space, where familiar laws are defied. Winds howl through shattered celestial ruins, fogs coil amidst stellar jungles, and industrial sprawl chokes the heavens with smog.

The stars are alive, the Judgements: vast intelligences that govern all. But they are dying, extinguished one by one, leaving their thrones vacant.

Navigate this impossible world as you trade, explore, fight, and survive. Choose your allegiances carefully, for you could be the catalyst that shifts the balance of power. Will you support Her Majesty's Empire, or side with the rebels striving to overthrow London's rule? Or will you forge your own path, navigating the treacherous divide? Will you achieve triumph, or succumb to the darkness?
