Sunless Skies
For queen and colony
Already in Early Access, the sequel to
Sunless Sea is slowly coming along
with the same vigour as its
predecessor. Across the vast cosmos,
alien civilisations are being killed by a mysterious
force. In their wake, the Queen is spreading her
empire, colonising the High Wilderness (as it’s
known). As the captain of a vessel, you choose
from a plethora of different character types and
skillsets before steaming off to explore the stars,
and perhaps do a bit of fighting. After each death,
a new captain is appointed from your crew and
you continue onward, creating your legacy as you
go. A bit like Joss Whedon’s Firefly, really, but with
loads more dialogue and colonialism, and a lot less
Nathan Fillion (none, to be exact).
