What does this mean?

Sunless Sea was made in Unity 4, which had some limitations particularly around the way it handled text. As a pretty text-heavy game, we ended up with many users finding the game unplayable due to their screen resolution. Text was tiny or fuzzy. Not ideal! Happily, in Unity 5 we’ve been able to do a lot more with the user interface, and have fixed the fuzzy/tiny text problems.

How can I get the Unity 5 version?

Today we’ve launched an open Unity 5 beta branch that you can opt in to:

Right click Sunless Sea in your library
Select Properties
Go to the Betas tab
Select ‘Unity 5’
Close the pop-up and Sunless Sea will update to the Unity 5 version

Note: It’s a beta, so you may experience trouble with your game if you opt in. We recommend backing up any saves you are fond of in a separate folder. In the beta branch you’ll find that you’re able to resize the gazetteer, and the game font, independently.

Where do I send Unity 5 beta reports?

We hope you’ll have a good play with it! Let us know via email if anything seems strange: sunlesssea@failbettergames.com. Please include an output log: https://www.failbettergames.com/output-log/ Thanks everyone! Oh and PS, a reminder: Zubmariner comes out in a month. Come 11 October, you’ll be called beneath the Zee.

LOSE YOUR MIND. EAT YOUR CREW. DIE.

Take the helm of your steamship and set sail for the unknown! Sunless Sea is a game of discovery, loneliness and frequent death, set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London.

If the giant crabs, sentient icebergs and swarms of bats don’t get you, madness and cannibalism certainly will. But that old black ocean beckons, and there’s loot for the brave souls who dare to sail her.

Betray your crew, sell your soul to a Devil, marry your sweetheart. Survive long enough and you’ll achieve your life’s ambition.

You will die, but your legacy will live on…

Key features

A deep, compelling world packed with 200,000+ words of stories and secrets. Find your father’s bones. Determine London’s destiny. Defy the gods of the deep sea.
Beautiful, hand drawn art - castles of sparkling ice, prisons perched on lily pads, fog-shrouded lighthouses and the DAWN MACHINE.
Your captain will die. But you can pass on resources from one generation to the next. Acquire a family home and a hoard of heirlooms. Build up your own story across generations of zailors who braved the sea and lost - or won...
Real-time combat against ships and Zee-beasts, spider-crewed dreadnoughts and sentient icebergs.
Light and dark, terror and madness: stray too far from the gas-lamps of civilisation and your crew will grow fearful and eventually lose their sanity.
Upgrade your steamship with powerful engines, cannons and pneumatic torpedo guns. (Or buy a bigger, better ship.)
Hire unique officers like the Haunted Doctor and the Irrepressible Cannoneer. Each has a story to tell, if you can draw it out of them.
