Visions of a moonlit city. A disturbance among London's criminals. Mirrorcatch Boxes, stamped with a sun.
Navigate the perils and profits of London's forbidden sunlight trade in this tale of lunacy, ambition and addiction.
Play An Exceptional Story: an Unlikely Assassin to begin.
Exceptional stories are extra bits of bonus content in Fallen London that tell their own stories.
This is one of the earliest ever put in the game. It introduces some great lore that gets used a lot later on (and which I'm glad I finally got the origin story of) and has an awesome benefit (you can buy mirrorcatch boxes any time you want), but it's a lot shorter and mechanically a bit less interesting than later stories.
The idea is that people are selling sunlight in illegal mirrored boxes, and you can end up interacting with the people doing the selling. Sunlight can be illegal; living in Fallen London can make sunlight deadly to you, so this is very dangerous contraband.
The issue is that it's also making people see things. Because, as the title says, it's been cut with Moonlight. And moonlight makes you see things in a very different way.
The best part is exploring the 'alternate london' that occurs when you've consumed the moonlight. Very fun.
