LOSE YOUR MIND. EAT YOUR CREW. DIE.

Sunless Sea, a tale of terror, loot and discovery, is available for Windows and Mac OS X, now DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

In Sunless Sea, insanity ensues. Captain, you will embark on your very own steamship, collect your crew, and explore an immense sea of discovery, mystery, betrayal, loneliness, death, insanity, death, insanity. FTL hears The Call of Cthulhu - you will die gruesomely, but how you die is up to you. Your children will also die, your grandchildren will die, and their grandchildren will die too. How they live, how they die, and what stories will be told of your family legacy - that's up to you. Over 200,000 written words of plot, backstory and secrets beckon you towards the old black ocean, where immeasurable loot awaits. Dare you sail her?

Sunless Sea is getting amazing reviews already, so just try your best not to eat your crew on GOG.com! The 10% launch discount will last for one week, until 4:59 PM GMT.




<span class="bold">TWITCH STREAM SPECIAL</span>
Hannah Flynn from Failbetter Games will be playing the game live on twitch.tv/gogcom!

amok: If you like the game world, give this a try: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/
I curious about Sunless Sea before launch so tried out the Fallen London browser based precursor a few weeks back and while it's possible I under-estimated things it seemed disappointingly microtransition based.

Hmm. there's no game specific forum yet so I'll try here.

Looks like an interesting game. Tempted, but has anyone tried to run it on Linux+Wine yet? Old results in the winehq appdb give it a garbage rating, but a comment suggests the cause for that is simple to workaround, and a newer Wine should just work.

Might be some info on this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/304650/discussions/0/522730701842966760/

dev says an experimental linux port on the go (last june / july) - so some hope at the least.

Nice release! Hmm, to buy now, or keep on the Incredibly Shrinking Wishlist so that I have something to look forward to later?

This might be my first day one purchase on GoG! If so I'll be sure to post a few impressions here later on tonight / tomorrow.

Quick question - is the map random? I thought I read when you die, you can pick "perks," one of which is keeping your previous map (so your new character has an idea of where stuff is and such). Am I to take from that, that should I NOT pick such a perk we get a new map / world every time we play? I'm hoping for random map generation (though I'm guessing from looking at screenshots, the cities and locations will be the same just in different areas of the map).

I'm pretty sure the map stays the same. From the videos of gameplay I've seen the map was always the same. I think it's just the stats and text stories that change.

But I heard this game is like a roguelike. So what exactly is randomized?
