Hello, delicious friends!

We’re working on our first piece of DLC for Sunless Sea, Zubmariner. We’re now ready to share some glimpses of the world beneath the Unterzee. We’re a bit giddy. Hold our clammy hand, would you?

Below the waves

Beneath the water, as above, you’ll find a number of story-laden ports to visit and zee-beasts to encounter.

Wrack, the City of Delights

One such port is the underwater city of Wrack: an arbour of shipwrecks, where the flesh of kelp brings intoxication.

The Thalatte



Concept art for the Thalatte

The Thalatte is an exposed-looking collection of wattled and shining organs, like a half-completed vivisection, with a fanged orifice at the front. This orifice applies a force which draws your Zubmarine towards it. The Thalatte can move rapidly, ram, and expectorate gobbets of vile fluid.

Lights in the darkness

Your Zubmarine’s prow light can’t match the oppressive darkness. Things lurk outside of its beam. Some of them are glowing. Some of them aren’t.

These screenshots are early ideas of how the seabed will look, and the kinds of things you might encounter:



A bio-luminescent zee-beast



Shipwreck



Glowing coral



Vents

We hope this taste has whetted your appetite! Please tell us what you think in the comments. What are you looking forward to? What would you like to know more about? Wait – what was that, overhead?

Your friends,
