Sunless Sea, a game of discovery, survival and loneliness on a vast underground ocean, is available to buy on Steam today (11am PDT July 1st).
Set in the same universe as the award-winning browser adventure Fallen London, Sunless Sea puts the player at the helm of a steamship on a subterranean ocean full of pirates, sharks, sea monsters and other terrors of the deep.
Sunless Sea is available as an Early Access purchase, with major monthly updates planned until the game is complete, giving players the chance to shape the final game with their feedback. You can see the full development roadmap here.
“We want to combine the the sense of danger you get from a roguelike games such as Don’t Starve and FTL with the rich storytelling engine we’ve perfected in Fallen London,” says Failbetter CEO Alexis Kennedy.
Sunless Sea was funded in a highly successful Kickstarter campaign last October, raising more than £100,000 in a month.
