User who wrote this is called JavaDevil.

My crew attempted a mutiny, upset and frightened from being out at sea for too long. When
their mutiny failed, I sailed them back to London. Once home was in sight, and they gathered at
the rails to sing praise, I promptly turned the ship around and sailed it in a circle. And then
another circle, this one wider. Then, a third circle, this one smaller.
No one commits mutiny on my vessel.
Time moved swiftly as the circles continued. My crew only had a faint understanding of what
punishments were in store for them as I spent the night in my cabin, fornicating with our
surgeon. Astound and around and around we sailed.
It soon dawned on them what was happening when the nightmares came. when the food and
supplies began running low. Once the food was gone, the madness came quick: the frightened
tears, quicker. One member wanted to kill herself, but I wouldn' t allow it. Another begged me to
stop the endless circles, so I sailed them faster, sloppier. Once, I sailed close to . It
swam away. wanting no part in the theatre of suffering I was producing. An entire meal, the
crew' s last hope of staying off death by starvation, had gone. Only the circles remained.
If they wanted to live, they had to eat., Keeping their humanity was no longer an option. They
knew what little choice they had, and what little they could do to control it. Out of food,
cannibalism quickly took hold on the decks. Crew members butchered and ate each other after
yet another failed mutiny. And back in my cabin, all I could do was muse with my sultry lady in
lilac. the crewmembers' walls of grief a very, very potent aphrodisiac for more fornication.
We sailed, ate, sailed again. The rhythm never broke. A circle without end.
Soon I took part in the feasting of a brazen tailor who tried to shoot me and failed spectacularly
in doing so. The few remaining crew and I ate him and we said nothing of the incident. They
knew better., The silence was terrible for them, and it pleased me. Nearby, a cargo vessel sailed
past us without pause, You could almost smell the bounty of food and fuel aboard it, They never
knew what we were doing. or what we' become. circling without end. Them they were gone.
and my remaining crew came undone.
I shot a crewman who attempted to abandon ship, and I tossed his body overboard. I did nothing
as another member leapt overboard soon after, only to be swallowed by the waves. screaming
about Salt' s curse being set upon us. i dined with the lady in lilac again as the second to last
crewman wept and succumbed in his sleep to nightmares, alone and misbegotten.
I believe his corpse is still decomposing in its spot, somewhere in the dark in the lowest corner of
my vessel, the II. He shall remain there as a souvenir until I see fit.
Finally, when it was just me and one broken crew member left, I turned the ship poolside and set
us off. Time to stop the circles; home was near. Just at the edge of the screen. t paid a hefty fee
for a tow and returned to port. to my teeside mansion, where I slept like a baby that evening,
London was oblivious. Ch unmoved.
Tomorrow. thirteen new crew members await orders to set sail. They haven' t the foggiest of
what to expect.
No one commits mutiny on my vessel.

Man, as a game Sunless Sea isn't that great. However, as a piece of literature, Sunless Sea is truly astounding. Never have I seen a more deeply fleshed out world.

If you are ever in the mood for an amazing story, pick up Sunless Sea, cheat in enough money to buy a maxed out ship and lots of food and fuel, then go have one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had.

would you say the story is worth the $12 its currently going for on Steam?

Hell yeah, provided you aren't looking for a "fun game." Gameplay wise it's mostly fetch quests and lack luster combat, which is why I recommend using something like Cheat Engine. As long as you are cool with that, I'd say pick it up for sure.

gameplay is a grind.



BUT if you are fond of difficult games and dont mind a tad of repetition and grind. then this game is pretty good .

sunless sea is awesome.

Also awesome is Fallen London, a browser game by the same developers, set in the same world, with a very similar feel

They;re both about mystery, horror, isolation, and survival
