Currently in midterm QA. Everything going according to schedule.
When you’re done, and you’re ready to provide download and install instructions, please include directions for installing it on a Mac as well as on a PC. It would be greatly appreciated by us Mac users.

Actually, can you help me with that, please? I don’t know any Mac users that could help me write install specs for Mac.
Here’s a link to 0.3.7 Alpha release:
Somewhere in your computer, there is a Failbetter Games folder. In that folder, there is a Sunless Sea folder that contains an empty addon folder.
On PC, the path is usually:
C:\Users*USERNAME*\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Sea\addon
Unpack the archive there. Then you simply run the game.

Yeah I’ll be able to help you with that once I get a new Mac, because I may or may not have spilled fizzy drink on my old one.
I think the install location (both on PC and Mac) is different if you have it on Steam as well?
No, the save is done on a different location from the main folder. That’s where the addon folder is.

On my Mac, the files for the non-Steam version at the very least are under ~/library/Applicaton Support/unity.failbetter.sunlesssea/ though the name for the last folder is not exact since I don’t have my computer at the moment.
