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.
