Less than four hours after its [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/failbetter/sunless-skies-the-sequel-to-sunless-sea?ref=killscreen.com) launch, the sequel to Failbetter Games’ dying-at-sea simulator *Sunless Sea* reached its funding goal of $126,635 (a simpler number, 100,000, in British pounds). Now, one day later, they’ve raised $215,942, achieving every stretch goal but the last. If things continue this way, Failbetter is going to need to come up with a few more.

The sequel to *Sunless Sea* takes players from the dim peril of a subterranean ocean to the final frontier; space! Instead of steering a steam ship through the black expanse, you’re the captain of the bastard child of a locomotive and a rocket. Once again, the game will revolve around exploration, with the promise of picking through Failbetter’s generously stocked, particularly dry vintage of world-building.

Despite the cosmic setting, *Sunless Skies* doesn’t seem eager to lose the series’ antique thematics. Sample characters include conductors and signalmen; your locomotive is armed not with plasma cannons but gatling guns. Spacesuits don’t seem to be a concern, since “Its plating protects you from the killing cold of the High Wilderness,” according to the Kickstarter page. Don’t worry though—I’m sure the world of *Sunless Skies* will find plenty of ways to kill you yet.
