Sunless Sea - Whitelist Giveaway

I wanted to try this game, since a recommendation from an Extra Credits video. Seems like a really neat concept, with something lovecraftian that appeals me.

Missed the free weekend because adulthood, but I really wanted to try it.

My captain's name would be... Obed Marsh, in honor of "Shadow over Innsmouth"

Hi! I actually played fallen london for a while and still get their mails so I'd like to try their game. I didn't know about the free weekend after it ended so I missed it. And all my characters are named Magnus so I'm dreading the thought of permadeath...

thanks , its really Great game :)

1. I like games like Shadowrun and it seems similar...
2. No, because I don't want SG to think I own the game. lol
3. Hmm... Lou Albano. ^^

1. The game is creepy and lovecraftian. I like this dark style and I love games with a lot of lore.
2. Didnt play free weekend. I dont play games that way if i cannot aford to buy them after the event is over.
3. Captains name? Mayby Ahab? I think it fits.

1. it's a great, mind-bending story full of mysteries - one of things I live in games.
2. I did play on the weekend, though didn't have as much time as it requires. It's amazing, but SLOOOOW; the main part - text - is barely readable on Retina.
3. My 1st cap was unnamed, and quit due to the "Don't talk to your crew about your past in a port" bug.

Being a hopeless lovecraft fan, digging Darkest Dungeon and being a tapletop rpg enthusiast for almost 20 years (started as a kid)- so you know, kinda dig open world, story filled games and such- this game got eyes my since EA. Now that im currently running a pirates meet the occult table (tabletop rpg) playtesting a ruleset im developing im now even more pumped with anything naval when i remenbered Sunless Sea... to discover it was on a deeper discount (AND freewekend) that i completely missed. Damn it!

Not to mention i love indie games.

So yeah, this one hits the spot on many things i love so i have no doubt i will enjoy the heck out of it; My only doubt and fear is if im not creating over-the-top exagerated expectations, because the reviews are so freaking good and it mixes so many things i love... i know i will enjoy, but in my mind i think im gonna be blow away and i hate when im over hyped for something :P

I wishlisted it as soon as it was released, a friend bought it and gave a very positiv opinion about it (even though he had some valid complains).
Didn't play on free weekend, my grandpa was hospitalized and I stayed there with him.
Captain Wilson!! An old castaway survivor...

What makes this game interesting to you?
I like the option to do what you like, and exploration/roam type games. Also I like the artstyle of the game.

Did you play the free weekend and if so, what did you think of it?
No, I did not. Was away for the weekend on some camp but from the videos and reviews, I can tell it is similar to This War of Mine, but with a crazy exploration twist.

What will you name your first captain?
Goofy Goofer

Played on the free weekend for a little bit, didn't have much time though (just enough time to die once!). Still, was on my wishlist before and definitely stayed there, I liked what I saw :) Also a friend had been bugging me for many years to play Fallen London, but I never got around to that either ... Thanks for the chance!

And my first captain was named like me (real name).

Sunless Sea looks like a GREAT game.

What makes this game interesting to you? - Well, for one, I like the setting. Gothic Victorian London is a great time period for literature, so I'm eager to see how it's used in a game. I love the artwork I've seen from the screenshots, and exploration games are some of my favorites. As far as eating your crew, well, not every game can be a home run, right? ;)

Did you play the free weekend and if so, what did you think of it? - I didn't. I tend to work a lot so I missed it.

What will you name your first captain? - Morgan. :D

What makes this game interesting to you?

• I love roguelikes and games with somber/slight horror elements. Also I love the idea of exploring an unknown world and find all sort of exciting things.

Did you play the free weekend and if so, what did you think of it?

• I did, and I enjoyed it. The game was a little overwhelming at first (at least for me) because I knew almost nothing about it. But as I played I started to understand what I was supposed to do and where to go and stuff like that. I am definitely interested to discover what else this game has to offer!

What will you name your first captain?

• When I played the game during the free weekend I named him Shepard (even though he's a commander)

Also thank you so much for the giveaway!

OP: why am I blacklisted? Not looking to start a fight or anything, just wondering about the reason, since I've got no rule breaks, and I don't remember any personal issue between you and me either.

It seems like a fun game. Definitely in my top 50 in my wishlist. I'm unoriginal though I would just be a narcissist and name muy first captain after me.
I did play it during the free weekend and it was pretty cool but I only played for an hour and most of that was offline since I was in the middle of moving and had no internet for a few days.
What made it interesting it's the lore, the atmosphere, and the inspiration. I love Darkest Dungeon so LoveCraftian themes always makes me smile.

1 2 Ive played it for few hours during free weekend - I was kinda disappointed the map isn't procedurally generated - I was almost sure it would be another roguelike. Despite of it I found a game which merged survival, adventure game with rpg elements. Basically Ive found it easier to focus on hauling things early on before setting sails for deeper adventure.
It's on my whislist since march 2015 .. I keep it there as the game is one of the few steam pearls offering interesting story not just good gameplay. As fanboy of dwarf fortress and its adventure mode (ASCII one) I like Sunless Sea's concept of the struggle with Unterzee :) the grahpics are far superior for a game which is determined by dialogues and descriptions :)

3 Gentleman Aknozorm, unknown sailor who will manage not be the food for Salt bats this time.

• I watched a video review back when it was in early access, and I thought it was interesting at the time. Particularly the idea of tradeoffs in crewing your ship and completing some missions. Hopefully the game will have more difficult choices than something like FTL.
• No, I missed it.
• Dirk. Because The creepy, seafaring theme reminds me of the Rime of the Mariner, and that in turn reminds me of Dirk Gently.

What makes this game interesting to you?
Sunless Sea is a beautifully atmospheric game in a simultaneously sinister and ridiculous way that becomes surreal and truly otherworldly. There's no other game I've seen that manages to combine such minimal but beautiful graphics with gorgeous illustrations and an entire world of fantastic writing.

Did you play the free weekend and if so, what did you think of it?
I did. It was glorious. Beautiful, haunting, and engrossing. I've never been so disappointed to let go of a game at the end of a free weekend. For someone with crippling fibromiyalgia pain, books and games are my life. Sunless Sea is a masterful blend of both of my favorite things.

What will you name your first captain?
Lethe. The name of the sister river to the infamous river Styx. Lethe is the waters of oblivion, the river of forgetfulness and loss.

• I'm a total sucker for atmosphere, immersion and exploration. I'd say those are easily the aspects that really get me hooked into a game the most. And by all accounts this game is all about exactly that.
• Nope
• I always improvise the names of my characters with whatever random reference comes to mind and feels right at the moment, normally it takes a few minutes.

Thanks in any case.

Well, I know it's based on Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos and I love it! His weird stories always had a lot of potential and I'm happy that people remember about that in game industry - I wish film producers one day would do the same. ;) Thanks a lot for your giveaway!

1. As I said - Lovecraft, Lovecraft, Lovecraft ;)

2. Unfortunately no - I was really busy and I didn't even try to download it, because I would probably fail with other responibilities ;)

3. Of course - Charles Dexter Ward!

1) Game seems to be kind deep rpg and story wise. Also feels a bit like pirates! with this ship.
2) I didn't play but I watched as my brother play it.
3) Don't know yet, Alamar? :] Or some random game name.

on wishlist since a bit :)
What makes this game interesting to you? The setting and the adventure part, trying to figure out what would i do if it was my life at stake in the game.. would I try to look for a further but maybe more rewarding port or would I go the "safe" route? things like this :)
Did you play the free weekend and if so, what did you think of it? nope, i was busy :(
What will you name your first captain? not sure, maybe spongebobbo

cheers and thanks for nice giveaway

1: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
2: Nope, I didn't. I worked the weekend and I already know I must own it. Barely touching it for a free weekend seemed like a waste.
3: Francis Wayland Thurston

1. I like the concept and game dark art-style. Keep it on my wishlist for a long time but still waiting for some good sale opportunity to buy..
2. Unfortunately I missed it. For sure I would give it a try if I knew about it.
3. Jonathan Jackob Uboot

Current builds have a lot of positive reviews and I saw on forums that they ported game to Unity 5 plus an expansion pack is on the way so future for this product looks very bright :)

I was all set up to play during the free weekend but I was just too damn busy, sigh. I watched TotalBiscuit play it and was instantly smitten, just like with Invisible Inc. and Transistor. I love a good story driven game, and Sunless Sea's story is weird and interesting. First captain would be named after myself of course. Cap'n Janus, zeefaring underwater explorer.

Exploration, Mystery, Great story, Open World All that for me make a great game.
At the end of the week I'm with my family, I do not touch my computer (Barely).
Captain Sprite. It's my cat's name.

Thanks.
