Update 0.4, "GOLD": Early Access!

This is the first retail release of Sunless Sea - it should be available in just a few hours (when Humble Bundle set the build live). Here's what you can expect!

  • Khan's Heart and Khan's Glory, the ports of the New Khanate. (Khan's Shadow is also available to visit, although it's quite spartan just now). The Snares is also rather prettier.
  • A huge rebalance to spawning and enemy difficulty. They're more wide-spread, less likely to gang up on you in numbers and in some cases much more dangerous.
  • More stories in nearly all the existing ports.
  • A new London shop and a number of Bridge items to equip - choose improved glim-lamps that focus on your Mirrors stat, or less powerful, more subtle instrumentation to hunt enemies without denting your Veils
  • More combat options for you and enemies, including Potent Flares, Obscure Overloads and the use of the Unclear Device.
  • Unforgiving vs Merciful Mode for saving options! Unforgiving is the default autosave-only option - Merciful Mode allows manual saving. There are explanations in game.
  • Defy the gods! Turn your back on Salt, Stone and Storm for a huge one-time Terror decrease - but you'll cut yourself off from them forever.


Our next major release will be on 1st July - we've split the originally planned GOLD release into GOLD and CORSAIR'S GOLD, so we can sort out some Steam features. The Steam release will, oddly enough, also be on 1st July - backers, and anyone buying through Humble Bundle, will get Steam keys after that!
