Today, a day shy of two years since our Kickstarter launched, were pleased as punch to release the finished version of SUNLESS SKIES. Thank you for your support thus far, and for coming with us on the journey to the High Wilderness.

The Blue Kingdom arrives

A stoker sings: "The wind doth blow today, my love, and a few small drops of rain. I never had but one true love, and in cold grave she was lain." The Blue Kingdom. SUNLESS SKIES final region; the domain of the dead. Wiithout giving too much away, you can expect:

Four new Stations and three Platforms.
Three new agents; Spirifer Engines, Eaters of the Dead, and the Logoi
New transient discoveries: Blittering Rocks, Vaults, Enclaves of the Dead and Convictions of the Sapphire'd King
New persistent discovery; the White Well and wonder spectacle; the Sun Monument
Blue Kingdom Prospects and Bargains

Also in this update: Tutorial Tips: We have added tutorial hints which will pop up in a window when triggered. You can disable and reset them from the main menu. Adjustable difficulty settings: Available at every new save game and upon a captains death. New Ambitions: The final two Ambitions are in place, bringing our total up to four. Truth is an ambition you can select similarly to Wealth or Fame, and theres one other which will be hidden to your first captain: The Martyr-Kings Cup. New Facets for your captains past. New Officers: Recruit and discovering the stories of the Felined Eccentric, Forged Companion and Fortunate Navigator. The Clay Conductor can also now be recruited and his storyline completed. Achievements: Achievements have been implemented. We wish you luck completing them all! Read the full patch notes on our forums, and if you find an issue, heres How to Report a Bug.

It is the dawn of the 20th century, and London has taken to the stars! As the captain of a spacefaring locomotive you'll behold wonders and battle cosmic abominations in the furthest heavens. Stake your claim. Fight to survive. Speak to storms. Murder a sun. Face judgement.

Ten years have passed since Sunless Sea, and Queen Victoria has led an exodus from London to the heavens. There, a revitalised British Empire - ambitious and authoritarian - begins to expand across the skies.

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. An opportunistic Victorian Empire is colonising the domains they leave behind, painting its industrial vision upon the fabric of the heavens.

Travel between distant ports, unravelling stories, bearing passengers and news, and trading in exotic celestial cargoes.
Your every foray into space is as precarious as a Polar expedition. You’ll need to balance your resources carefully and keep an eye on your crew’s Terror to avoid mutiny and death.
Your captain's actions could tip the precarious political balance of a region. Will you run guns for the Independents? Or spies for the Empire? Choose wisely – your decisions will affect the story; not just for yourself, but for your future captains as well.
Leave your mark on the universe, and be marked in return. When you are creating your captain, every decision is a story, and every story has a consequence.
Equip your vessel as you see fit. Would you benefit more from reinforced armour plating, or the additional manpower allowed by external crew pods? ("Soundproof! Cosy! Detachable!")
It is not safe in the skies. A captain will need to defend themselves against pirates, scorn-flukes, the Cyst of Faces, and worse.
Recruit a gallery of unpredictable characters to crew your locomotive as First Officer, Chief Engineer, Signaller, or Surgeon. Each brings their own skills and stories to your adventures.
