Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.13/day in the week to Jul 21 → 1.4/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Great game, peak atmosphere and writing. I just hope if we ever get a sequel or another proper rpg in this universe they make the meat of the gameplay a little less tedious in the endgame.
Really fun game! Long playtime and great mechanics. Big improvement over Sunless Sea. Recommended 100%!
A step up from Sunless Seas in every way possible! If you're already familiar with the second "Fallen London"-Entry and you liked it, then you H A V E to play this as well! If you're familiar with Sunless Seas, liked it, but you felt like it's mechanics where a bit too frustrating and why the hell is there no reload option??, then fear not, this one is def easier to handle :D Now you can reload your old save, when your captain dies, money comes a lot easier, so does terror-reducing-meassures. All these QoL-improvments AND still awesome world-building and writing - hell yeah!! If you're not familiar with any of the Fallen-London-Games, then you just discovered something great! Sunless Skies is the prequel to Sunless Seas, which is in turn a Prequel to the Web-based Game Fallen London from Failbetter Games. But no worries, you do not have to play any of other the entries, before playing this - you'll miss some callbacks but the story is fully enjoy- and understandable on it's own! So what actually do you do in this game? You travel with your locomotive through space, discover different locations and read amazing little storylines, which you can influence by your decisions. Like all the Failbetter Games, the writing is topnotch, the worldbuilding (still) one of the best well-rounded things I've ever come across. The only "downside" is, that you have to spend a lot of time traveling bewteen different ports, as there is no fast-travel option. While this can be indeed a bit tiring (I'd whish you could purchase an item or something...), it also just fits very much the theme and you can marvel at the pretty skies again and again. ---- Similar Games: - Well duh, Sunless Seas | like this, just harder - and you're a sailor. - A House of Many Doors | similar vibes, similar gameplay :D - Cultist Simulator | VERY different gameplay, but also topnotch writing and similar atmosphere - Dredge | Setting out on a voyage, same vibes, less Choose-your-own-adventure-based

If you're into slower games with an expansive world and lore, this is def a game for you. I admit that, personally, it's a bit too slow at times, but the game has a lot of story elements going for it and that does make it worth it
booooring
Played Sunless Seas loads and loving this one! Only caution is that it can be buggy using a controller. Steamdeck is also hit or miss, gameplay is fine but lots of little things like the steamdeck going to sleep and then waking up require me to restart the game.
Praise the Sun
Kind of a side-grade to the first game, with some improvements, and some things being worse, but mostly the same. If you liked the first one, you'll probably like it, and if you didn't, you probably won't. 8/10.
Great open ended RPG with fantastic prose, Lovecraftian vibes with London-in-the-Sky, mining time itself to fuel the wheels of industry. What will your captain's ambition be? To write the Song of the Sky? To uncover the mystery of why the stars are disappearing one by one? Or just to get filthy rich and retire in obscene luxury? It's all there in the skies...
Отличное приключение в абсолютно безумном, но крайне интересном для изучения мире. Чувство первооткрывательства не отпускает до самого конца, хочется разгадать все загадки и узнать все истории. НО!!! Подавляющая часть удовольствия от игры - это текст и атмосфера. Геймплейно же, тошнить на космическом локомотиве с черепашьей скоростью от порта к порту может очень утомлять. Исключительно для фанатов и энтузиастов игр, вроде Disco Elysium или Pathologic. Лично я в восторге:)
