SUNLESS SEA

10/10 game, but not for everyone. Very text based, with some exploration and survival (and roguelike) elements, like fuel for the ship, food for the crew, the crew counter itself, and permadeath. written incredibly well, the soundtrack also goes a long way. can recommend to everyone who likes text based storytelling

the sun :3

A wonderful game. It's taken me several years to get into it properly as it's a rather tough game. Even before my most recent stab at it which has seen me encouraging my child to become a zailor too it was still a magical experience. I remember the first time I started a romance with someone back in London. It was nice and fun and small and kept my terror down. I kept the locket because I figured it'd be nice to. I died on that trip and I was left thinking about how my girl would feel about my never coming back. I think those sorts of experiences are what make the game special. It's a very immersive thing and you end up with memorable stories that stick with you. But I will admit that the game can be very hard to get into. It's rather slow and you're not given too much guidance when you first start. And not knowing any early game moneymaking options is brutal. If you can stick with it though it's a very cool experience. If it's really proving too daunting, maybe look up tips for early game moneymaking or a basic beginner's guide. Once you've got that down I don't think you really need more guidance. Just the willingness to sink into the game.
