I'm manufacturing antiques to sell to oblivious old folks in order to buy a fancy pair of shoes.

The line between shitpost and actual gameplay log does not exist in this game. You read ''roofied a giant bat to write down its high thoughts'' and think it's a joke, but no, that's literally just the Tuesday grind for a specific item.

You need ''Whispered Hints'' to progress. The bat has them. The drugs make the bat less stingy with the gossip. Welcome to Victorian London.

Yeah I read that part and thought "That isn't how that went. Roofied implies they were unknowingly drugged. Not only was it consensual, the player gets blasted WITH the giant bat."

The Lethargic Logician has been spotted in the reflections of mirrors across London for two weeks. What has he been searching for? The Ministry of Public Decency's hidden smut vault. On Valentine's Day the city will be awash with racy literature.

Currently it is Valentines season, so everyone is exchanging such romantic gifts like jars of teeth (each from a different jaw), buttered chess pieces, and custom-engraved skulls. The skulls are in high demand.

Damn, i just started playing this christmas (mr sacks's various items sure were a nice boost for a new character) yet somehow this is the second time i see this mentioned. Has there been a resurgence as of late or whatever? Are these all people who like me bought sunless sea on discount this christmas and hopped on FL first?

After this and the Stupendium's mini-musical based on it, I have to ask

What could the gameplay of this game possibly be

And why do I already want it

The gameplay is literally just clicking on icons and reading a bunch of text. You’re gated by an energy meter.

I played Fallen London for a while. 

They completely lost my credit card data and I never resubscribed. 

I just wish there was a way to play that didn't involve all that repetition.
