87 Sunless Skies

Release date: summer tbd

This indie, story-focused, top-down RPG is the sequel to 2014's Sunless Sea. The crowdfunded Skies is set a decade after the events of the previous game in the same alternative history version of Victorian-era London where that city is now beneath the Earth's surface in an underground ocean. As the title implies, however, you are no longer confined to that underwater locale; instead, the Queen has led her people to the skies, where you are the captain of a spacefaring locomotive. (We're not sure why NASA hasn't tried that yet.) There's no need to have played the previous game, but you will have to look out for space pirates.
