Thanks for posting this @TurinTur. This looks like exactly what I need to finally get over the initial bounce off factor I experienced when I first tried Sunless Sea.

I really liked the atmosphere, the writing, the production quality…pretty much everything except the initial difficulty factor. I mean, I understand that part of the game is failure, and starting again with your “descendant” or whatever…but maybe I just sucked at it, because my initial take was that it was kind of brutal, and I don’t have time for that.

And that’s why the new game is, I think, better than the original. It has a more gradual learning curve that eases you into things and gets you set to making money and being able to see meaningful progress and advancement earlier…without necessarily impacting the overall difficulty of the game.

Sunless Skies gets very challenging as you go. But when it levels its sternest challenges against you, it feels like you’re better prepared for them than with Sunless Sea.
