Sea Dogs vs Sunless Sea

Set in the 17th century, Sea Dogs lets you start with a modest vessel and choose allegiance to Britain, France, Spain, or become a pirate. The game blends role‑playing, naval combat, and strategy, offering a non‑linear campaign where you can accept quests, trade, or simply explore the seas. As you progress, you can repair, resupply, and upgrade ships in towns, recruit crew, and build a fleet of up to 20 ship types. Customize cannons, exploit wind and weather, and switch allegiances at any time for a truly boundless pirating experience.

Take command of a steamship navigating the eerie, endless ocean beneath the city of Fallen London. As captain, you must balance fuel, food, and sanity while uncovering hidden stories and confronting Lovecraftian horrors. Your choices shape the narrative, and each voyage offers new routes, mysterious islands, and perilous encounters that test your strategic planning and role‑playing instincts.
