Enjoy a train ride into madness in the disturbing, unforgettable SUNLESS SKIES.

We have a Marvel Cinematic Universe, so why not a Failbetter Interactive Universe? The third game in the world of Fallen London also has its share of daring heroics in the face of impending doom, but instead of saving the world you’re usually trying to save yourself. In a place where time comes in barrels and souls in jars, where the horrors of the skies can cause you to lose your marbles, it’s probably easier to lapse into villainy. Not least when food supplies run out, and your crewmates begin to look awfully tasty.

The follow-up to Sunless Sea is in keeping with Failbetter Games’ fondness for putting players into crisis management mode from minute one. As second in command to a dying captain, you’ve got to guide your tired locomotive into port, and then take over. You’re free to choose your own path from there, but without a map, it’s not going to be easy. Fame, fortune, and a long-standing mystery are among the goals, but your initial job is just to stay alive.
