You can always download it and then immediately uninstall the EGS app if you hate it but it’s worth it for this game
It’s got gorgeous art and incredible music and surreal writing and a cast with plenty of interesting queer characters and you can romance a bat and get a third eye installed and assassinate a sun
ah fuck alright im getting it
Is playing Sunless Seas before this necessary?
You can use Heroic Games Launcher to play EGS games without installing their app. It can even be used to play them on Steam Deck.
my main recommendation for this and sunless seas is don’t play on permadeath
i found their attempt at rogue-lite mechanics added nothing to the game, and i got exponentially less enjoyment out of the story segments with each repeat playthrough
I tried it for a while, and felt like I was always lost, running out of supplies, and barely breaking even so I could never afford to buy upgrades.
