A game of survival, trade and exploration in the universe of Fallen London
Feedback - I find the text far too small.

I'm playing Sunless Sea on a 17 inch 1920x1080 monitor, and my Visual Acuity as of a year ago was a pretty normal 6/8 metric (equivalent to about 20/27 imperial)... i.e I'm about as confident as one can be that I don't need glasses at the moment.
Despite that, I find I'm unable to play the game for more than about 30-45 minutes without the small text becoming headache-inducing. I'm unable to read much of the smallest text from my comfortable position about 2 feet from the screen, I'm constantly having to lean in to make the task easier.
I looked in the options, but there's nothing related to text size there. For a game that revolves so heavily around narrative I feel like the act of reading needs to be made almost effortless, not the chore that it currently seems to be.

I am happy! I also find the text rather difficult to read, on a 23" monitor 1920*1080, so I'm really glad it's being looked into

Failbetter are a good studio. If something needs fixing, they'll fix it.

I don't get headaches but I do agree with you that it's annoyingly small. 14" widescreen monitor.
