'HERE IS SCREAMING.' Polythreme, located in the Sea of Voices, is the land of the Clay Men and living, shouting objects. Aigul… well, I’ll let you see when you get there. Anthe provoked a lot of appalled laughter from my editors. Zub didn’t just permit me to go dark it demanded that I do so - and then also write funnier or more beautiful in order to keep the experience in balance. Dahut contains some of my favorite imagery of anything I’ve written. Sunless Sea is a darker, scarier place than Fallen London, and Zubmariner is more monstrous still. Engaging most of the story of Dahut requires. And through all that, the Failbetter team are superlatively on top of giving quality feedback and direction. Accessible only by zubmarine, Dahut is a ghostly, underwater mirror of London, populated by the Drownies. The fantasy and humor of the setting make it possible to tell stories that might otherwise demand too much from the reader.

The Pirate-Poet generally drops enough money to pay back repairs and spent resources twice over. That’s why I say “was the writer” rather than “wrote,” which might make it sound like I did all the work.) (As always with Failbetter projects, the writer is not alone: a number of other people contributed significantly, from concept to mechanical QA to prose editing, and of course I’m not behind the art, either. I was the writer for three of the ports - Aigul, Anthe, and Dahut.
The Zubmariner expansion for Sunless Sea is out… now.
