Thanks Farflame!...
Meanwhile, Failbetter Games are preparing a major update, due for release in March/April time. This will give players 'more to see and do while travelling' and include 'more narrative choice and consequence'
And, of course, there will be even more unusual ways to die.
Failbetter Games appear to be in excellent financial health following the release of Sunless Skies and the game is continuing to evolve and grow. We'll have much more on Sunless Skies very soon!
