Fallen London; a text-based, story-driven ongoing browser game about an alternate-history London that was traded by Queen Victoria in exchange for her husband being spared death and literally carried by a cloud of bats to a massive underground cavern where Hell is just a train journey away.
It's a niche game in a niche genre, but damn I love the writing and setting so much. Sunless Sea is set in the same world, if anyone has played that too!
Sunless seas and sunless skies are both pretty sweet. I never got very far because I'd always get caught by some over powered creature before I was ready. I really like both games though.
I really liked the idea of this game. I played it a lot. I feel like there was no progression, like I was getting nowhere fast. Eventually I stopped playing.
It scratched a similar itch to Kingdom of Loathing
Played Fallen London for a while. It was pretty cool, but I never felt like I actually got anywhere.
