The Unterzee will claim everything.

<span class="bold">Zubmariner</span>, a delightfully deep and terrifying expansion pack to the exploration/roguelite cult hit Sunless Sea, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com. Resourceful captains can now dive into the <span class="bold">base game</span> for 66% off.

Your steamboat has served you well, helping you roam the islands, transport curious cargo, worship cruel gods, overcome madness or seek after it. Now it's time to convert your vessel into a zubmarine and dive into the unforgiving, ever-shifting depths of the Unterzee. Death, despair, and mind-rending discoveries await you in these dark waters. Will you survive long enough to uncover the stories of the 11 new ports and to brave all the fresh terrors lurking there? You might have to resort to cannibalism, deception, or the occasional shady deal, but that's a small price to pay for an entrepreneurial soul such as yourself, isn't it Trespasser?

Succumb once again to your severe "sea-seekness" and dive deeper into the abyss as a foolhardy <span class="bold">Zubmariner</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
In anticipation of these submerged horrors, Sunless Sea received a free content update, which adds a handful of new quests and events, along with a revamped Rose Market.
The 66% discount on <span class="bold">Sunless Sea</span> will last until October 14, 4:59 PM UTC.

Hummmm, the DLC was added to my Steam account free. Nice!

Edit - I do remember them promising Early Access folks on Steam all future DLC (most developers "forget" those promises...nice to see Failbetter Games didn't! )

Heads-up, zeecaptains!

There's been a slight mixup with the DLC, which has now been ironed out. Those of you who have already installed Zubmariner through GOG Galaxy will now notice a message telling you that the DLC is not compatible; do NOT be alarmed! Regardless of the message, you can still normally launch Zubmariner from the DLC's card and now from your Sunless Sea card as well.

Everyone who's using the offline installers or hasn't yet installed the DLC through their GOG Galaxy client, feel free to disregard this notification. Now, what are you all still doing here, zailors? The Unterzee awaits!

tremere110: You can buy the game on GoG without Sunless Sea. The expansion is stand-alone.
No, you can't. I just checked and it wouldn't let me. The Pay button is grey and the site tells me that I need Sunless Sea base game to buy this expansion.

Does that mean that the DLC is now being treated as a regular DLC? I hope so, especially since it says on the store page that it's the first expansion, presuming that there are others in the work.

Sweet! Thanks for the quick reply!

Edit. Ah. My first time with the infamous "My post got eaten but not." bug. I don't know if you received multiple notifications—sorry if so, but it's not really my fault. :P

I have to ask: Why can't I buy it, if it is a standalone expansion?

I guess the issue was "fixed". You need to own Sunless Sea in order to buy the DLC now. The DLC used to be a seperate game on the shelf but is now listed as DLC under Sunless Sea after an account refresh. You can still install the DLC fine without Sunless Sea - with the current installers at least. The game seems to run perfectly. I haven't really played a lot, so I don't know if there will be issues later on because I don't have Sunless Sea installed.

Is this really a standalone expansion?
Should I have Sunless Sea installed?

That's because it's not supposed to be a standalone expansion, you need to own Sunless Sea in order to buy it.

I honestly - as long time Failbetter supporter - don't think there's another DLC coming up. It took them way longer than expected to release Zubmariner and IT WAS stretch goal on kickstarter. Second one, about flying, didn't get enough money. They also announced their next game - Sunless Skies - to be kickstarted on february (2k17). No words about another possible DLC.

tremere110: Interesting. The DLC is actually standalone. It's a separate game on your shelf and you don't need Sunless Sea installed to play it. You do need to own Sunless Sea to buy it though. Not entirely sure why they did it that way.
Well, the Developers want you to buy the base game too. So they make it mandatory that you have to own the base game, even if you don`t need it to play.
Moneymilking, pure moneymilking.

Will that work with the drm-free version from HB?

Ah, I see. Is the flying stretch goal you mentioned supposed to be Sunless Skies or is it something different? Maybe they've decided to make a full game out of it with the money they've earned selling the first / base game?

Nope. I don't want to spoil anything from game/universe to people who might be reading, but to explain it easy:
1. Unterzee is world beneth our own, thus sunless sea - there's no sunlight there.
2. Zubmarines take us below sea we're sailing in Sunless Sea.
3. CASTLES IN THE ROOF - DLC that didn't make it on kickstarter - is about roof of Unterzee.
4. Sunless Skies will be about, literally, space. You'll go and explore it. It's possible within universe, however I have my doubts about how they're going to handle.

Seems like the devs fixed the font scaling in the base game, now I can buy it.
