SAPPHIRE IS HERE!

A multi-faceted update: new stories, new gameplay and a feast of new artwork. V0.6.3.1751 is live on Steam now, Humble will follow later today.

GAMEPLAY

New legacies!
When you die, choose your relationship to the late captain. More control over what you receive to take into your next game, and an idea of why you got it.

Fellow travellers!
Neutral ships. Sail alongside them and your crew will be soothed by their presence. Follow them to discover new trade routes. Shoot at them if you fancy, but they will retaliate.

See the full patch notes for more updates and tweaks to gameplay.

STORIES!

Stories galore! Espionage, masked encounters, cruelty, desire and a mystery from Fallen London’s past... If you haven't been getting new stories as they become avialable, you're in for a feast.

"In the chilly spaces of the Garden Tower, your contact pleads for a taste. Just for a taste. You give them much more, and their gratitude is boundless."

Establish a network of agents under the nose of the Khanate. Use and sacrifice them for Intelligence. Feed secrets to the Admiral or with the Voracious Diplomat, and determine London's destiny…

"All visitors must pass, one by one, through a room guarded by a person in the mask of a Moon-Moth..."

The isle named Visage is now open, if you are prepared to go masked. Our most enigmatic island yet. Learn the etiquette of masks. Ascend the ranks. Uncover the confessions of Flourishing-of-Years.

"Welcome to the Isle of Cats," the Wide-Eyed Dockmaster says brightly. "Would you like to bribe me not to write down your details in this nice official ledger?"

Unravel a tale of memory, cruelty and desire, with the King's Claw, the Lady of the Cages, and a mystery from Fallen London's past...

ART!

The Sea of Lilies now exists for you to sail to and pretend you’re in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, except the lilies are really mushrooms, and there’s a prison.

We’re also filling in the gaps in icons and generally prettifying the game, which we hope you like.

As ever we await your exceedingly helpful feedback. Enjoy!
