Sunless skies also in that same H. P. Lovecraft inspired universe releases on the 31st.

From what I've played and read discussions about I'd personally say that Lovecraft only was one part of the inspiration as well as a whole slew of other authors and books. Will probably check it out though, as well as Sunless seas eventually. (Oh, just checked it out, Cultist simulator is also by the same people, huh.)

Interesting, I was just trying to continue my first and likely only playthrough of ME: Andromeda minutes ago, but it was agonizing and I didn't last even an hour. How far the mighty have fallen.

I agree with you on the hints. They merely whet the appetite.:)

I pre-ordered Andromeda due to my love of the original trilogy, but my then computer couldn't handle the game, and by the time I upgraded it I had lost all drive to play it after seeing footage and reading reviews.

Fallen London / Sunless (insert theme) is by Failbetter games

Cultist Simulator is by Weather Factory

I was sad they moved ME reapers from being some elder god like mythos thing to hey we are just evil AI like all the other AI you meet, and now all the games are about deciding if organics and AI can get along, which they have the AI killing all organics constantly for millions of years...

From the steam page
"Seize forbidden treasures. Summon alien gods. Feed on your disciples.Cultist Simulator is a game of apocalypse and yearning from Alexis Kennedy, creator of Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Play as a seeker after unholy mysteries, in a 1920s-themed setting of hidden gods and secret histories."


Yeah, the ultimate finale of the trilogy was kinda disappointing to say the least. The Dark Energy plot could have been really interesting if they had went that route.

Honestly, I have never read those little blurbs on the right. Today I learned.

So much of that game series could have been more interesting. Instead we got space calamari gaining psychic powers and making land dwellers build AI for them which then went bad, and they never fixed it. Damn crustaceans, this is why I eat lobster and crab, to keep sea life in check.

Since we're talking lore, is there more background to the MC other than that he is an engineer on Intrepid who replaced Harris for the mission?

He has a "sister" who is on the Iowa but really is on Ophion, and has military family background. He was an infantry grunt, then had a choice of going into flight which he said was too old for that, so instead he took engineering.

Theory, he is actually a really terrible spy, like James Bond, drunk, well you know drunker than normal James Bond.

Real theory about him having serious authority to shut down the whole Ophion terra forming seems a bit much for a random engie. So he must be a trusted enginseer.

Well other than the things mentioned and knowing his rank so he had to be in the military for a while, the MC is kind of a blank slate, since we are given the choice on how he reacts to everything, or if he believes in conspiracy theories, etc. He has authorization to do space walks on a shuttle he isn't a crew member of? He also isn't well known enough for any of the H5 crew to recognize him.(spy).

Maybe more will come in the future.
