Sunless Sea is a little darker and less cheerful than its already morbid sister Fallen London, but it’s no less delightful. The Unterzee is awash with clever, well-written stories, and you’re sure to find something new every time you set sail – even if actually finding it can take a while. If you enjoy weird horror with a dark comedic bent, or if you’re in the mood for a roguelike that focuses on economics...

8/10
