Please Play Sunless Skies

If you’re one of my like, six followers you probably know about Sunless Skies already but if you don’t I sincerely beg you to at least think about buying this game. You play as a space-locomotive captain exploring wild, often overgrown skies which are being conquered by a hubristic and extractive Victorian British Empire at the turn of the 20th Century. It’s a fantastic anticolonialist, anticapitalist, queer, dreamlike, eloquent, and visually stunning romp through a world as rich with detail as your hull will be with bullet-holes. Also, one of the officers you can recruit is an Inadvisably Big Dog. Need I say more?
