Lose Your Mind. Eat Your Crew. Die.

Take the helm of your steamship and set sail for the unknown!

If the giant crabs, sentient icebergs and swarms of bats don’t get you, madness and cannibalism certainly will. But that old black ocean beckons, and there’s loot for the brave souls who dare to sail her.

Betray your crew, sell your soul to a Devil, marry your sweetheart. Survive long enough and you’ll achieve your life’s ambition.

You will die, but your legacy will live on…

Sunless Sea, which has sold over 700,000 copies on PC, is coming to PlayStation 4 in 2018!

After a successful launch on iPad in March 2017, Failbetter Games are excited to bring Sunless Sea to console for the first time.

"Sunless Sea invites you to take the helm of a steam ship and explore a subterranean sea full of sinister, story-filled islands." says Narrative Director Chris Gardiner. "If the pirates, sentient icebergs and swarms of bats don't get you, madness and cannibalism certainly will. Smuggle sunlight, barter your soul, become a spy. Seek immortality or provoke a revolution of tigers. Perhaps you'll even achieve your life's ambition, if you don't lose your mind and eat your crew first. Failbetter Games is known for the quality of its writing, and we're excited to bring it to a console audience."

The PS4 port, Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition, will also include the expansive Zubmariner DLC, which doubles the map by allowing players to seek more stories below the waves. “Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition encapsulates the best bits of the Sunless Sea experience,” remarks CEO and Creative Director Paul Arendt, “It is deeper, darker, and packed with the Failbetter trademark: agonising choices presented in beautiful prose.”

Failbetter Games are delighted to partner with BlitWorks (known for mobile versions of Invisible Inc., Don't Starve, Broken Age and Bastion, among others) for the port, and can’t wait to see what the PS4 players make of their weird and wonderful universe.

Key features

• A deep, compelling world packed with 350,000+ words of stories and secrets. Find your father’s bones. Determine London’s destiny. Defy the gods of the deep sea.
• Beautiful, hand drawn art - castles of sparkling ice, prisons perched on lily pads, fog-shrouded lighthouses and the DAWN MACHINE.
• Your captain will die. But you can pass on resources from one generation to the next. Acquire a family home and a hoard of heirlooms. Build up your own story across generations of zailors who braved the sea and lost - or won...
• Real-time combat against ships and Zee-beasts, spider-crewed dreadnoughts and sentient icebergs.
• Light and dark, terror and madness: stray too far from the gas-lamps of civilisation and your crew will grow fearful and eventually lose their sanity.
• Upgrade your steamship with powerful engines, cannons and pneumatic torpedo guns. (Or buy a bigger, better ship.)
• Hire unique officers like the Haunted Doctor and the Irrepressible Cannoneer. Each has a story to tell, if you can draw it out of them.
