SUNLESS SEA - honeyedheroine
We've teamed up with BlitWorks (known for mobile versions of Invisible Inc., Don't Starve, Broken Age and Bastion, among others) for this port,and they’ve done an excellent job of adapting the game’s mechanics for touch controls.



Rediscover Sunless Sea on iPad (the port is a standalone game, so saves will not cross over with PC saves). Choose from two different touch-screen control systems, which you can switch between at any time from the settings menu, and experience the same formidable achievements in Apple’s Game Center.

If you’re interested in cannibalism on the go, Sunless Sea for iPad is available for $9.99 / £9.99 and requires iOS8+ and will be compatible with iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Air 2 or higher.


P.S. We do not recommend taking the screenshot above as a 'how to' on docking

We’ve had an incredible Kickstarter campaign for Sunless Sea’s sequel! We were funded in 4 hours and 200% funded in 4 days. Amazing. Many of those backers are among our Steam players - thank you so much!

Blemmigans! Blemmigans! Blemmigans!

If we reach 25 of the social goals for the Kickstarter campaign, we’ll be releasing new Blemmigans in Fallen London, Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies.

The Blemmigan Gallivanter, a mascot for Sunless Sea

My, what a keen little mushroom! Raring to go, and eager to see every soggy corner of the wide, wide zee. But is it too young to be a zailor? Because you're pretty sure it drew that moustache on itself with a pen.

To help unlock the Blemmigan Gallivanter, contribute to a social goal:


If you're able to join in with the campaign in any way, we appreciate it so much. Thank you for all of your support!

Pirate Poet and Cladery Heir available now!

As of today’s update, the Pirate Poet and Cladery Heir are available to all players of Sunless Sea as part of the base game, and free of charge!

We consulted with our Kickstarter backers before Christmas and they have graciously said that the more people can play all of the content, the better. Please thank them, their backing made this happen!

The Pirate Poet
Captains, beware! The Pirate-Poet now zails the zee, seeking a worthy rival. The pirates of Gaider’s Mourn tell many stories of this clay corsair. Can you be the one to finally best her?

The Cladery Heir
A surgeon of such skill that she can amputate flaws of character and excise unwanted foibles…

The Cladery Heir is a new officer with her own storyline - during which you can acquire a new ship, the Cladery Heart. She can be picked up at Fallen London when you have 'A New Recruit' at 1 or more.

Sunless Skies Kickstarter: TOMORROW!

Talking of Kickstarter, hopefully you’ll be well aware that the campaign to fund Sunless Sea’s sequel is beginning tomorrow at 16:00 GMT.

Here's a teaser trailer to pique your interest.

Here's a sneak preview of the Kickstarter page so you can scope the rewards before anyone else!

We're so excited to know what you think - please leave us comments below.

The Kickstarter ends at 1900 GMT on 3 March, so don't miss out!

Our podcast begins!

We’ve started a live podcast on Twitch! So far there have been two episodes:

Ep 1 on Twitch: Game design with Liam Welton
Ep 2 on Twitch: Game art and Sunless Skies sneak peeks with Paul Arendt

Ep 3 will be live at twitch.tv/failbettergames on Friday 3 February, 16:00 GMT

Sunless Sea on iOS

As if all of that wasn’t enough, we’ll be releasing Sunless Sea on iOS this spring.

This is the full version of the base game with all content updates, reworked for a touch interface. (It does not include Zubmariner.)

Follow us on @failbettergames to ensure you hear about the release!

Friends! We’re bringing you a small additional update this month, containing a few things of interest:

Sunless Skies pre-production update

Our first pre-production blog about Sunless Skies is live! Discover how and why we are going from a map that looks like this in Sunless Sea:



To one which looks like this, in Sunless Skies:



Sunless Sea Maps and New Hoodies

You have a few days left to order a Sunless Sea map for the last time!



This third and final edition of these beautiful, high-quality prints will be delivered to you in time for Christmas by our friends at Gamers Edition. Orders close at noon GMT on Monday 28 November.

And we also have two new hoodie designs for zeefaring types! One features more Correspondence than is probably wise to have on a garment (bucket of sand not included) and the other warns of the nature of the Zee.




Order from the Failbetter US Store and use code 2016OMG to get 15% off and free standard delivery until 28 November. In the EU store, get 10% off at checkout
from 1–5 December with the code CHRISTMAS16.

Steam Awards

These are happening! Consider nominating Sunless Sea in a category of your choice, or perhaps write in a relevant category (let us know what you went for, if you do).

A happy Thanksgiving to our American zailors! May you not lose your minds and eat your relatives this holiday season.
