30 Years Later, One Of Gaming’s Edgiest Heroes Can’t Become Cool Again

This 87 Metacritic Roguelike Survival RPG Has The Best World-Building Around

by

Failbetter Games began with Fallen London, a unique alternate history of Victorian London filled with Gothic and cosmic horror. They expanded on this world with Sunless Sea, and then in 2019 released Sunless Skies.
