Reconstruct a shattered woman's life, June 13, 2025

This is an exceptional story, a part of Fallen London that is extra "DLC" type content for subscribers.

I really expected this Exceptional Story to be awful, as its description was pretty generic (woman overused honey) and the beginning of it wasn't very inspired (go to these three locations and examine stuff).

But it turned out to be about red honey, one of the best moral dilemmas in the game. Red Honey lets you see someone else's memories, but only at the cost of causing them extreme agony.

This story also uses interesting mechanics, like a complicated hidden lock and key mechanism. And the ending felt like I had real agency.

"Steeped in Honey" has shot up to the top of my list. I'm not sure I'll ever be in a position to give these stories some kind of unambiguous ranking, many are good for very different reasons, but here we have a phenomenal character piece, and interesting exploration of rich-poor dynamics in London, and just generally exceptional storytelling. It is definitely my favorite of Mary Goodden's works to have played so far, and that's among already fairly august company.
