A fantastic game in the Fallen London universe (multiverse?). If you enjoy Fallen London, Sunless Skies or alternate history/gaslamp punk/steampunk settings at all, you'll probably like Sunless Sea.

Small issue with DPI creates blurry text on some machines however, so watch out for that. Other than that, excellent.

9/10.

This game is absolutely abysmal. It really is shockingly bad. I obtained it from a HumbleBundle full of excellent games, like others did, and this really is the unpolished turd from that bundle. Holy cow, this game makes me want to throw my computer at the developer.

You want some honest criticism, a reason to buy or not buy the game? Here you go. As others have said (despite over 1000 positive reviews, what the hell?) this game is literally broken. I played for about 3 minutes before I realised I couldn't reopen a text box that gave me a random I.P to type in and should have written it down, nor could I minimise in-game windows despite the devs including minimise icons in their simulated desktop UI.

So I started again, wrote down the I.P I was given, connected, manually brute forced a password for some reason, and was told to copy a file from a specific path. Did I write down the path? No, because I'm stupid and at this point I no longer cared.

I figured it was ok, I could type 'DIR' or maybe even 'LS' to get a list of available files. Nope, that didn't work. Nor could I re-open the window that told me the file path to type. So I closed and uninstalled this piece of flaming hot garbage, and likewise uninstalled the sequel that I hadn't even launched yet, and I came to the Steam page to see why it had been given enough positive reviews for me to install it based on a quick glance at the Store page - only to find about 20 people with a similar review to mine, and many many more reviews saying it's a great game.

Well, it takes all kinds to make a world, but you positive reviewers can enjoy this little I R VERY SMRT hacking 'game', and I'll just be over here where I can press CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy and paste a string of text, rather than writing it on a piece of paper and dutifully typing it back into a game that simulates a computer...

Absolutely cannot recommend this game to literally anybody, perhaps barring tweens who have just watched 'Hackers' with Angelina Jolie for the first time, masochists, or fans of the ever-popular poorly translated Fisher-Price Computer Simulator genre.

A .99c pricetag and a <100mb download may be nice, and a free game in a bundle that sends the proceeds to charity is even better, but if I could retrieve the last ten minutes (fifteen, including writing this review to warn you; the prospective purchaser of this piece of profanity) of my life, I absolutely would.

Please do not waste your time, money or effort on this crepulant rotting half-game.
