Sunless Skies — Sail the seven skies!

Rob Covell Aug 11, 2021 0

Yes, Sunless Skies is a rogue-lite, and a hard one at that, but not in quite the same way as many. Your death doesn’t reset the game, rather you create a new captain, who follows your legacy by claiming some of what you’ve lost before…
