About the Story
You splash down the library stairs into waist deep water. Swirls of ink marble the surface. “It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright,” whispers an academic as he cradles a purée of paper to his chest.
A Sage Archivist is consumed by her study of the First City. It is an obsession that has seen her sever all ties and take up unsettling experiments with lacre. Her former paramour fears for her safety, and looks to you to investigate this malady. Delve into the ruins below London to uncover a twisted legacy of love, memory, and duty.
Ratings and Reviews
This is an Exceptional Story from Failbetter Games, part of Fallen London. It ties into the larger overall experience but has its own storyline.
This is a love story between an ardent man and a scientist who is also loving but reluctant and cuts ties.
The opening of this was unremarkable enough that I lost interest in it and never finished it by the time I stopped playing Fallen London 2 years ago. I've restarted now and have picked up this story again, and the ending was quite a bit better than before.
This story features Mr. Apples, a master I don't remember seeing much about. More interestingly, it includes bits of all of the Fallen Cities' lore, including a big chunk of First City material, which is rare. Also has some Neathbow content. Pretty nice!
