An Introduction to Fallen London

[@TheGuvNuh]

Lol, very glad you stumbled onto these. To me the Fallen London/Sunless games are far and away some of the best written story based exploration games out there. I can't remember the last series of games that made me obsessed to know more about the story the way these did. Much time spent cracking the story of the Unterzee and the Sunless skies. Hopefully you do another video or a playthrough of the games, I do love them.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

I’ll keep that in mind thank you very much

Roadwarden!

The word “Gaol” is still pronounced “Jail”. It’s just the archaic spelling of that word.

I started up last night and it took me about 5 min for my brain to stop reading it GAWOLERS

[@exidrablack316]

0:50 alas speaking of soundtrack there was once a app on goggle play for the game and the game had a soundtrack then. But unfortunately do to certain issues the app has since been removed and stopped being supported so no more sound track,a shame really, it was quite good.

My god, I’m so used to the Neath that I never even realized that HEM has gone off the utter deep end with the whole calander thing

I’ve been getting back into Fallen London recently, and two seconds after listening to this video, I’m subscribed.

[@Luipaard005]

Stellar video, thank you for making this! I love how you broke everything down, this is a great primer.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

Np! I have Sunless Sea and Skies too!

[@avivaodintz540]

There is not enough Fallen London appreciation on this site. I’ve been obsessing over this world for the past year and I doubt I’ll get bored any time soon.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

That’s good

[@DarkVeghetta]

Fascinating playlist, given it has only one video in it. I'd be quite interested in seeing the other two games reviewed similarly (though, if possible, more extensively), as the second one is close to my heart, but I'm not surprised that a game series that's already obscure has not brought much attention to this video on a channel that mainly deals with Conan lore. That said, considering the depth of the universe these games take place in, one could do an hour-long video on just the first game and still have plenty of narrative room for the other two.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

I’d like to do more of these too

[@rngwrldngnr]

Interesting review. I hope the rest of the reviews go well, and that if you decide to do the Let's Play it works for you.

[@BahamutEx]

Made an account before the video is over. :3 - also subbed, btw your voice is awesome

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

Thank you and I hope you have lots of fun!

[@esoopthederp7672]

I will mention, I can’t suggest you buy stories in the fate store as each story that is 30%~ more expensive then just getting the subscription, which gives you a entirely new story of the same size each month, and as long as your subscription is running, the game will log which stories it owes you as months pass in case you miss any

[@1995pieter]

is there an option for unlimited actions

[@esoopthederp7672]

@@1995pieter no, its what the game is built around, both gameplay and monitization wise

[@talkingfez1265]

Is the subscription one where you have to pay?

[@esoopthederp7672]

@@talkingfez1265 that’s what a subscription to a browser game is, yes

6:21 cold war?! Hell and London are each other's main trading partner now (after the war, that is)

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

I still need to do Sunless Sea, it’s fun I just haven’t gotten around to it. Thanks for giving this video some attention!

[@Kaotiqua]

I should point out, at 7:20 you mention that there are four main districts. This is incorrect. These are just the starting districts. Through play, you open up Wolfstack Docks, Mrs. Plenty's Carnival, The Forgotten Quarter, The Shuttered Palace, The Bazaar, The Flit, and more. (Plus the House of Chimes, if you subscribe.) In addition, worth noting, I've been playing for literally years, and still have very little idea what I'm doing, but I'm having a great time anyway, and I've never been forced to pay to do so. There are over 2.5 _million_ words of text, and the dedicated writers just keep writing more, some for free, and some for the subscribers.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

Thanks for the correction

[@Ciderpunk-jj5es]

You still got an interest in doing this playthrough, Chap? Would love to see it.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

If you can get more people to watch this video 100%!

@@GrimDarkHalfOff I'll make it my mission after Christmas.

[@exidrablack316]

9:05 I assume yoi kept the magnificent diamond you should have started with then? As far as I'm aware people always start with one and can sell it for a nice 12.50 echoes. Or is this just character story, in which case my apologies.

[@thecoffemug6574]

Great review!

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

Thanks I really wanted to do sunless sea and sunless skies too but my computer won’t record it fit some reason

[@jasonmiller9091]

This game is awesome I've already made 3 characters lol

[@joeloberholster]

A bit late but did you end up doing a sunless sea review? I can't seem to find it

[@kelvinsantiago7061]

I like this game a lot i always play it Noir style.

[@mohibelahi2189]

i tried it for free and am confused what the subscription offers. Anyone know?

[@GreedyDrunk92]

Kick me when you get the answer

[@starc3968]

Subscribers get 10 cards in the card deck, increases how many actions you can keep at a time, lets you in the House of Chimes, and lets you play one paid story every month

[@GreedyDrunk92]

[@rockgirl6786]

Can someone tell me what exactly "Lovecraft" is? I've heard the term "lovecraftian horror" multiple times but I've never heard specifically what that is

[@mono90286]

Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an influential writer whose work inspired a lot of stylistic trends within horror. EDIT: Why did that setence read like something written by ChatGPT lol

[@andreworders7305]

3:58 no, that’s entirely literal, lol

[@mrbananoid]

but how long is it? great vid btw

[@0_0____]

Effectively infinite, as they add a new story every month (the paid part) and it can take years to get through everything now.

[@SuperZergMan]

I played for about two years before running dry of content.

[@ronnikoonie10194]

Why don't you have more subs?
