Fallen London

[Peregrine]

If anyone is interesting in a really cool storytelling browser game set in a unique setting, I definitely recommend this one. It's one of those games where you have a certain number of actions per day, and they restore 1 by 1 every certain number of minutes. Your character has stats (really only 4, vague ones - Dangerous, Shadowy, Watchful, and Persuasive) and you start out by breaking out of jail, and go in any direction from there. I really love it so far. Free to play unless you want to spend some money to get additional actions, etc.

Definitely has a different sort of feel to it.

[Peregrine]

Yeah the feeling is quite different, sort of a Neil Gaimanish, alternate Victorian London. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like, and some of the many story options you have at any time.

I've been puttering around in it. I don't play a lot of games like this (or any) so I can't compare it, but the atmosphere has been fun.

Now available for your phone in the app store.

Is this at all related to Sunless Sea?

[Bobble]

Yep. It's the same setting by the same creator, Failbetter Games.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Yup, made by Failbetter Games. If you enjoy this and you haven't tried Sunless Sea, you really should give it a shot. Fantastic writing, and as long as you're ok with a difficult, slow-paced game, it is excellent.

From their IAMA on Reddit:

You might call Fallen London the text adventure prequel to Sunless Sea: it’s almost 1.5 million words of the same kind of darkly funny stories, and as of right now it’s available to download for free on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch!

Things you can do in Fallen London:

Run a literary salon
Learn the incendiary language of suns
Marry a squid-person
Consume hallucinogenic honey and mushroom wine
Breed abominable animals
Behave so disgracefully that you have to flee to the colonies and write pleading letters to your former friends

heh, I have an extra copy of Sunless Sea if anybody is interested :)
