#if we can't get fallen london to trend higher than the fucking bigot wizard books today i am going to be so mad

[unpretty]

kitty how do you play fallen london? I tried once and just got confused doing random things unsure how to find story, what am I doing wrong? is this the game?

this lore post on reddit might be useful to you

if you want something with more direction and a more cohesive story, rather than a lot of different snippets, you might be better off playing one of the games they've released in the same world (sunless sea, sunless skies, mask of the rose)

the best way to play imho is to make an oc and play in character (mine is a professional snoop and secret romantic named genevieve) working to construct a cohesive personal narrative out of the various storylines you collect while playing. but i've also been playing on and off since it was still called Echo Bazaar and browser games of this type were more common, so i don't have the frame of reference to know which aspects of the gameplay are confusing.

if someone wanted to make a beginner's guide to getting into fallen london, i'd be happy to boost it!
