Sunless Sea



In Fallen London, a game of cities, a trip across the Unterzee is a lighthearted and (mostly) painless jaunt between near and familiar places. Sunless Sea illuminates the true nature of zailing - and the further reaches of the Zee - in a tense, darkly beautiful game of exploration, loneliness and monsters.

Being set in the same universe, the two games do bleed into each other. This guide collects all such tie-in content available in Fallen London.

The Kickstarter
While the Sunless Sea kickstarter was open, FL players were given the option to Pledge to Sunless Sea (tracked with the quality SUNLESS SEA).
 * Those who pledged at the level of the Pantherine Pack or higher received a Parabolan Panther, and exclusive access to its story.
 * Those who pledged at the level of the Corsair's Pack or higher received exclusive access to the story of the Dadd Wing and the Troubled Painter.
 * Those who pledged at higher levels yet have been promised exclusive access to the tale of the Cladery Heart and the Surgeon's Child.

Panthers and Kittens
The Parabolan Panther's story allows you to become the proud owner of a kindle of kittens. These kittens can be shared with friends or well-mannered strangers (see, e.g., the official forums). If you take the time to play with your kitten, it will follow you into Sunless Sea.

The Launch
In the week before the official launch, Failbetter released a daily trinket or storylet through an FL access code:
