Hello everyone! It's now less than a week until Sunless Sea is available to buy on Steam, and we really need your help to make it as successful as possible.
Launch day is next Tuesday, 1st July. The game will go live sometime around 6-7pm, if all goes well. This is the store page.
If you're a backer or you've bought a copy of Sunless Sea already, you'll be able to get a free Steam key for your game a couple of days after the release. It'll be a pretty straightforward process - once the game is live on Steam, go to your Humble page and click "Get Steam Key", then in Steam go to Games>Activate a Product on Steam, and enter the key. We'll upload the keys once we're live!
What can I do?
-Tell your friends! Obvious, really, but word of mouth is vital. If you're a member of other forums or internet communities, please let them know that Sunless Sea is available, and tell them what you think of it.
-Write a review. If you play Sunless Sea on Steam, you can write a review on our store page - and please, be honest! We're not interested in astroturfing. It's worth noting that Steam reviews include a time-played stat, so if you're reviewing based on a Humble build, do say so.
-Get involved with the Community Hub: Steam is great for showing off screenshots, fan art, in depth discussions of the best way to defeat a Lifeberg, and so on. And new arrivals to the Neath will need your guidance, delicious friends.
-Spread the word. If you see any media coverage (and we're expecting some) share it around on social media.
-Get a tattoo! No, wait, we did this gag already. Never mind.
This is the big one, folks. The next couple of weeks could have a massive impact on the future of the Fallen London universe and Failbetter. We couldn't have made it this far without your support, and we know you'll be every bit as awesome this time.

As of the moment of this post, SS is showing up as the #10 top seller on Steam today (if I'm interpreting it correctly). Yay! Way to go, Failbetter!

I hope that in a couple of days Alexis will give us some news on how the Failbetter opening on Steam went, considering he wrote some time ago that it could be very important for Fallen London's future!

Sometimes when I look around the Steam community and see some of the common vile and hatred I feel sad. Then Sunless Sea releases on Steam after months of longing and it appears the Steam community is much more than the superficial bile it appears to be (in general). Next is this awesome game taking a (well deserved) solid spot in the top 10 of best selling games and I suddenly realize there are a lot of good people appreciating good games. Even on Steam. This makes me happy.
Well written, well developed and well played.
P.S. Hi all! (longtime lurker)
