The developer/writer behind #BookOfHours recently wrote a blog article including this tidbit:

"I wrote a hundred and two endings for BOOK OF HOURS, although I expressly intended each player to finish the game once, and didn’t design it to have replay value."

That - and the rest of what he wrote there - certainly explains a lot of lingering disappointment I had with the game. I loved the core gameplay loop and madly scribbling down my discovered recipes, but was also hoping for the same replayability from #SunlessSea, and lacking that, I felt I was really missing out on too many of the underlying stories which only get exposed through rare visitors.

I still have to play House of Light, though, and it sounds like that improved things, so will have to bump it up in priority on my backlog!

heya internet friends!
I have a #videoGame question for you:

#SunlessSea is on sale right now, what are your opinions on it? I've played #dredge and quite liked it, but this looks much more dark and gritty. how are the accessibility settings, do they have an easy mode?

Just finished this logo of the game Sunless Sea yesterday ! :D

It took 4h30 to make, including the background. I tried a new technique to make it : acrylic paint mixed with a textile medium.
Just paint, let it dry and sew !
I was surprised at how easy it was, I'll definitely do it again 😊

Art Stream at around 12pm (pacific)! #stream #digitalart

Come hang out for a while, or feel free to lurk in the background while I draw and listen to music. I'll be working on my oc animatic today! Later, I'll also be playing #SunlessSea.

Odd #VGMWednesday pick, I picked up Fallen London again a month or two back and I've been really enjoying it. I haven't played since like 2011 and it's been much expanded!

Apparently at one point they had an app on iOS with music, which was retired in 2018. I have no idea if the app interface was any good but the music is good!

Here's the theme from Ladybones Road, where my character spends most of their time.

Mandrake es lo nuevo de Failbetter Games (Sunless Sea, Fallen London)

Ce weekend je me suis mis enfin à #SunlessSkies après l'avoir laisser affiner pendant 2 ans sur ma switch sans l'ouvrir. J'avais joué à l'époque à #SunlessSea, son prédécesseur, mais j'avais pas réussi à rentrer dans l'univers.

Avec Sunless Skies, prenez en main une locomotive (vapeur) interstellaire dans un univers lovecraftien, dans un monde empli d'horreurs et autre tentacules. Cette série de jeu a une très belle DA, à la croisée entre le livre dont vous êtes lea héro·ïne et le rogue lite.

Necesito alguén con quen fangirlear sobre o lore de Fallen London / Sunless Sea / Sunless Skies. É demasiado bo e é incriblemente pouco comentado...

Que o equipo creador o manteña case todo oculto detrás dun muro horrible de grindeo insatisfactorio explica que sexa así, pero é un crime contra a Humanidade.

Mil veces sexan bendecides as persoas que contribúen á wiki. Oxalá un libro de puro lore sobre o setting. Pagaría un muchillón de dólares por el.

#SunlessSea #FallenLondon #SunlessSkies

Let's take a little trip across a very dark sea and hope to the dark gods of the abyssal depths that we don't run out of food.

Join our #stream as we take a #literary look at the #SunlessSea, going #live on #Twitch!
