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.
Were busy preparing for PAX West, which starts on Friday! We're hoping to see some of you there.
This will be our first major US event. Were honoured to be selected for the PAX 10, which is a showcase of the 10 best indie games of the year, as chosen by their mysterious panel of 50 industry experts.
Here is the whole PAX 10 for your perusal:
- Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game set in a land of gothic fables and fairytales.
- The Devil's Calculator is a new, non-profit math game for numberphiles and lovers of logic and brain teasers.
- Heartbound is a non-traditional role-playing game about a boy, his dog, secrets, and sanity.
- Final Assault is a WWII themed Action Strategy Game that capitalizes on the full power of Virtual Reality.
- Epic Tavern is a fantasy-management-RPG where you rule the land from your Tavern.
- Deleveled is a cooperative single-player puzzle-platformer with no jump button.
- Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is a role-playing game featuring musical themes with an affinity for the sick and righteous.
- Boomerang Fu is a frantic physics fighting game with an adorable cast of food characters.
- Plunge is a turn based rogue-lite set in a wacky medieval prison.
Were delighted to be showing in such weird, wild and wonderful company!
