Brings what grabs you about Sunless Skies: choices with consequences, an open world and lots to discover.

As the captain of a steamship, you sail the dark underground sea of Fallen London, juggling fuel, supplies and your fraying sanity. It thrives on grim, literary storytelling, discovery and the constant risk of death.

80 Days

Choices with consequences

An interactive globe-trotting story set in an alternate Victorian era, where you play Phileas Fogg's valet, planning routes, managing money and making text-based choices across hundreds of cities and encounters. Every run plays out differently, and the writing is sharp, diverse and critical of colonialism.

Pacific Drive

Driving or flying

You drive a car you repair and upgrade into a supernaturally warped exclusion zone in the Pacific Northwest, scavenging resources before returning to your garage. The car becomes your companion and main survival tool, while each run uncovers more of the zone's mystery.

Dredge

Dread and tension

An atmospheric fishing adventure where you haul catches and upgrade your trawler by day while Lovecraftian dread creeps in with the night fog. Inventory-packing puzzles and eerie island stories give it a unique hook.

The Long Journey Home

Choices with consequences

A procedurally generated space odyssey where you hop between dangerous star systems with a small crew, manage scarce resources and pilot a ship under Newtonian physics. Alien encounters and hard choices reshape every attempt to get home.

The Red Lantern

Strong, story-driven narrative

You lead a team of five sled dogs through the Alaskan wilderness, facing randomized events where resources and decisions determine whether you survive and make it home. You can hunt aggressively or play it cautiously.

Dread Delusion

Choices with consequences

A dark open-world RPG with a deliberately retro low-poly look, set on floating continents. Strange locations, occult secrets and world-changing choices reward free-form exploration.

Drova: Forsaken Kin

Choices with consequences

A pixel-art action RPG in the spirit of classic old-school role-playing games, featuring an open world to roam freely, rival factions and meaningful decisions. Exploration and character growth take center stage, with fairly challenging combat.

Pathologic 2

Dread and tension

As the healer Artemy Burakh, you struggle through a plague-ridden steppe town against hunger, relentless time pressure and scarce resources. Every decision leaves lasting consequences, and the bleak, surreal narrative never lets you rest.
