Sunless Sea - Whitelist Giveaway

i think it's a great idea to give it someone from your whitelist and ask some questions ^^

i have no interest for this game ^^
i only liked your idea...i hope the game get to someone who likes it a lot :)

• Lose your mind. Eat your crew. Die – now you got my attention :D
• I don't play during free weekends, no need to rush.
• Captain Fishfood.

I didn't get to play this on the free weekend, but I was hooked by the trailer on the Steam page for it. That alone landed it on my wishlist back in September.

My first captain name? Captain Queeg, of course! :)

1. I want to try this game, because it has a tag "Lovecraftian". When I learnt western culture, my teacher talked us about Lovecraft and his "Cthulhu Mythos". I was very interested about that but my teacher didn't talk too much, because he said "Our final won't cover this part"... I hope I could play this game and have a better understanding about it.
2. I didn't try it in free weekend, because I was busy with my homework. So sad..
   3.How to name it? "Great Old Ones" maybe?

I'd love to join this if possible!

1) I saw a "WTF is..." on it from TotalBiscuit and it went straight on my wishlist. I love the theme and exploration motif. I've purposely avoided other videos, because I don't want any of the game spoiled for me when I eventually get it.
2) I sadly missed the free weekend, too much other stuff going on.
3) Captain Sofa, of course.

-> it's dark.

->wickedbananaslayer

I created a review on YouTube in my language. Yes, i played.

Ad.3
As always, my username :D

And my personal opinion:
Game are too hard - there also no difficulty level - what kills this game. There are problem for me to get a fuel / supplies for my crew. Enemies (crab) are too fast compared to my ship.

I got finally an unknown error - game hungs time after time and i can't play more - reinstall failed, create new ship - failed...
And my voyage over sea was ended one day before free weekend is over.

1. The aesthetics - graphics style, music and writing. Also randomness and just how unique it is.
2. I did! I really liked it, though I couldn't play it for many hours straight, as it is rather slow paced.
3. I already created two of them during the free weekend :) And both of them were named Sev. But I'll probably be more creative with the next one!

I have no idea why I'm in your whitelist, but... thanks! :)

I have really wanted this game for a long time. Dark mysterious waters, monsters, and a hungry crew sounds like a lot of (dangerous) fun!

Did not play the free weekend. Oh how RL gets in the way :(

Hmmm, a captain you say? Aye Aye C'ptn Stinky!

1. I'm a huge fan of Lovecraftian novels AND I enjoy roguelikes a lot. This game is on my wishlist sine its appearance on Steam.
2. I've played it a little, just to see if it's as good as people sey. Yep, definitely seems to be a phenomenal game.
3. When I create a character in game, I like when there is already a suggestion of name. I usually pick the default/suggested one.

I really like the art style (Screenshots) and i heard it has some pretty good story telling and game mechanics. The song from dan bull about the game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmuhWpp8fZw) revived my interest in the game.

Did'nt play on free weekend :(

i will name my first captain "Blau Bär", because off a TV-Show i watched as a kid about a Blue Bear who was a captain.

Well, I am always interested in Indie games and this games seems great; considering the reviews and all the feedback. Also, you stated that the devs are really cool, that makes it even better.
I also like to grind for challenging achievements and invest many hours in order to get them and this game looks just suitable for that.

I didn't. I wasn't aware of it.

I will name my first captain 'Newgate'.

I fell for it's unique world, for opportunity to immerse into enchanting waters of the Zee, to learn it's obscure history and secrets. I also love how games allow you to create your own interesting story, that not only affect your current playthrough, but also create a connection with previous and future attempts, linking them in one continuous story.
I actually don't agree with everyone calling it's dark, for me it was more sense of melancholy and despair. And that's why I love how fantastically name suits the game - it's not that it filled with darkness and misery, but absence of light, hope and active cheerful life that create such deep atmosphere, evokes feeling of being lost and stuck.

Yeah, I've sunk about 18 hours into its deep waters. And even more into Fallen London, but that was some time ago, I'll probably start a new one soon. And if I remember correctly - invites give you some new stories or other bonuses, so I'll be happy to assist you if you want.

Game doesn't allow you to name your child, so I can't promise to name my firstborn after you, so it'll be an honor of my first captain if I win. If I'll buy it myself, then it'll be Nemo. Nope, not the fish, the Jules Verne's captain.

And thank you for your great and interesting initiative. It was interesting to read ^_^

unfortunately, i d'd not touch on free weekend which occured in my vacation, no internet and steam client during that time.
my firstname of captain should Qqqxx >> every game i played use this refer to me 555
also i interested in whitelist, and whitelisted too

The lovecraftian setting along with the elements of progress/ironman mode (like dankest dungeon), I haven't played the free week as i've been busy with my masters degree. My first captain shall be named Cpt. Saltyballs

What makes this game interesting to you?
It looks like something I haven't seen or played before and this makes it very interesting. The atmosphere and concept seem great and I would love to give it a try.

Did you play the free weekend and if so, what did you think of it?
Unfortunately I couldn't play it because I had no internet at that time so I missed it and really hate that fact. Makes me want to try it out and play it even more.

What will you name your first captain?
Linus (big fan of Linux here and the swedish language/culture)

I've played the free weekend and there are some aspects I loved about the game.

First of, the obvious dark narrative. I was looking for an alternative to Sid Meier's Pirates (basically for the naval battles), but was amazed on how deep this game goes. The impending sense of dread along with the shady bits of tale here and there make it worth by itself.

I also enjoyed the semi-roguelike side of it. Yes, there is permadeath, but you can work on what your next captain will inherit and how you can benefit him. I'm not a particular fan of roguelikes, but this made me look at it on a different perspective.

Of course, shopping and upgrades! The immense options to upgrade your vessel (and buy new ships) added yet another layer of complexity and choices to be made. I didn't explore much of it basically because in only played for some hours (with a load of captains that kept dying...), so it's a long haul game to reach the top notch stuff. Hard game, but it makes every new engine upgrade a valuable acquisition, not something you do on a whim.

The naval combat itself wasn't actually what I loved more about it. Well, not in the traditional sense anyway. I loved the cloak and dagger approach more, turning the lights off and trying to get the others from behind for a devastating blow. Seems very appropriate, given the overall dark environment.

Captain names hmmm.... they all have "bone" in it (as my RL nickname is Johnnybone), so the half a dozen captains I made that weekend were named like Bonesaw, Ripbone, Dreadbonez, etc.
Likely, if I do win a copy of the game, the trend should stay the same. That or Captain Blondebeard of course.

I played it during the free weekend but it was on my wishlist since i first heard of. I loved the dense dark atmosphere of this fallen world. It was so exiting to learn everything on my own. Like how this world works and how to not to die within the first week ^^. I did never save manualy therefore I had a lot of "Nooooooo f**k i died again"-moments but i got better every time. But as this game is quite slow the free weekend ended way to fast & I'm willing to return to my Captain 'Duncan McCloud' and his crazy crew of cannibals. (you can't fight the HUNGER!)

I think the setting and method of storytelling are unlike any other game I've played.

I did play the free weekend, and I was pretty confused, but interested. I didn't have enough time to play, so I didn't read much of the tutorial stuff and thus didn't really know how to improve my chances for survival. I did, however, find THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN.

Since captains seem to die rather frequently, I don't think I'll dwell on trivial matters like naming them. They are mere vessels for exploration.

Hey, thanks for the giveaway. Sunless Sea has been on my wishlist for a long time.

1. I really like maritime themes (I still play Sid Meier's Pirates! :D), Lovecraftian oddities and good storytelling.
2. Unfortunately, I didn't play it during the free weekend - I had to study for the exams (I think that's what they call responsibility...) :(.
3. My first captain will be named Nemo - the reference is obvious ;)

Having played Fallen London, I love getting to further explore the world they've created, and not have to be limited by actions and such. Played ~25 hours during the free weekend, which was pretty much my whole weekend :p

As for names...they'll all be truncat. All their lives shall inevitably be truncat-ed! Also, it's my steam name.
