Fallen London

Thirty years ago, London was stolen. Now it rests on the shore of the Unterzee, that old dark ocean under the world. But Londoners can get used to anything…

Welcome to a dark and hilarious Victorian-Gothic underworld, where every choice has a consequence, from the style of your hat to the price of your soul. Creep, coerce, brawl and swindle your way through the gaslit streets of Fallen London. Go mudlarking off Ladybones Road, eavesdrop in the ragged old market of Spite or arm-wrestle in Watchmaker’s Hill. Collect whispered secrets and trade magnificent jewels to further your cause, whilst picking your way through the rats and filth of the fallen city (or embracing the putrid glory of it all). Choose your allies and your path carefully though – after all you never know who you might run into down that dark alley, or what poor soul might run into you…

I’ve contributed a few stories and assorted small bits and pieces to this one, with the major ones being the Exceptional Stories (that’s what they’re called in-game!) Lost in Reflections and The Pentecost Predicament, and the regular old-story The Blemmigan Affair, which I believe is widely considered one of the better interactive fiction tales about mushroom poetry this side of Duke Nukem Forever. And I do not say that lightly…
