Failbetter’s award-winning PC game is now on iOS! Take the helm of your steamship and set sail for the unknown. Sunless Sea is a game of discovery, loneliness and frequent death, set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London.
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…
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.
- Choose a ship’s mascot: the Comatose Ferret, the Wretched Mog, the Elegiac Cockatoo, and more!
- Trade or smuggle silk and souls, mushroom wine and hallucinogenic honey.
REVIEWS
- “Absolutely the best writing in any video game since, well, as long as I can remember.” (10/10 – PCGamesN)
- “A very compelling and satisfying adventure... The realm of possibilities seems endless, and every time I set sail I find something new.” (9/10 – Destructoid)
- “Sunless Sea's method of storytelling isn't unique, but it has never been realised with such impact and elegance.” (10/10 – Eurogamer)
Reviews
Wonderful game! Please bring Zubmariner DLC to iOS!
Dante Rising
This is a beautiful adaption of the PC version. The controls are fluid and built perfectly for a touch screen. One part exploration, one part horror novel, one part rogue-like gameplay. My only disappointment is that the excellent Zubmariner DLC is not available for purchase upon release.

I adore the Fallen London / Sunless Sea universe, and Failbetter are master storytellers. I'm so glad to finally have this game on a platform where I can play it more frequently. Plays well, works great.
Unstable
Runtothetrenches
So I like this game. World is fun, mysteries galore, but boy oh boy is it unstable. I find myself hesitating to open the map after I do anything because it just crashes without warning or save. So, while I enjoy it, having it crash every five minutes or so will probably keep me away until it gets patched.
Great game ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The game itself is great I skip this on steam and hoping i can play it on ipad and here it is Please add automatic screen orientation, it should be a very basic things that easily fixable right? And Please release the dlc as well ???
Half Throttle Broken
JediOfTheShire
I can't go Half Throttle either forward or backward. This makes combat near unplayable and annoying. Loved this game in PC, but I need better throttle control if it is going to be playable on iPad.
Enable screen rotation for better review (updated)
Black Bellamy
I am changing my review from 1 to 4 stars because the game is just so completely awesome. I initially gave this app one star because of the screen rotation issue which I feel is critical. However after receiving assurances from the developers that this is a high priority fix I am editing this review to update the score to reflect my gameplay experiences to this point.
Great game with a little care about player's experience
alt.eject
Great moody RPG with unique atmosphere. However was brought from PC game without properly adapted UI so doomed clicking on smallest icons to find out a price you gonna pay for your next action. The only way to figure out whether weapon in shop fit your ship — earn you money hard, spend it to the best weapon you can afford, BUM! Your shiny canon doesn't fit you junkie ship. Now sell it back half price. I guess developers were searching for any good UX designers for the project but their company has no space on the deck.
Fun but too little direction
Skellt
I am unable to figure out how to make progress in this game. Nothing I have tried earns more money than it costs to do it. I have played the initial segment of this game a few times and feel like I would enjoy progressing further, but always run out of funds. The first 30 minutes of the game is probably 5 star, but being unable to get any further lowers it to 3 star at best.
Love it, but...

Need to unlock the screen, so it can rotate... annoying as hell... When they fix, (hopefully they will) it gets the five stars... Thank you, thank you, thank you... awesome game, I love it and recommend it :)
Sooooooo good.

This game is a must have. The lore is incredible and the gameplay is outstanding. I have been playing for over 20 hours and still have a ton to do. I love the story telling and the beauty of the sea is un matched.. great game and can't wait for the dlc...
