The short version
It's a text-based browser game about an alternate Victorian London that was stolen by bats and deposited in an enormous cave where reality gets Freaky. Highlights include punchy, hilarious writing, systems that make failure as interesting as success, sad squid people, and being casually queer af.
It really picks up when you get deeper in, and the devs are always making the game better. Give it a try, it's free!
The Long Version
THANK U PHOS!! this is a really nice look at what the game is like.
The post behind the readmore mentions its fun to go in with a character concept, even if it's just a hazy one, and for me tbh "hazy character concept" worked really well -- having a basic idea of what kind of guy I was piloting gave me character reasons to pick one choice over another rather than just trying to pick all the nicest/right options, and a guy to imagine all these unfortunate things happening to which is always fun, but the haziness gave me room to kind of shape him based on choices that sounded fun or ideas I hadn't considered or required storylines I needed to come up with a reason for him to do. DID U KNOW when i first joined the game and picked out a name, i had no church background in mind for Samuel at all.... but when the game asked me "what do you want to be called" and "Deacon" was an option I was so taken by that I just immediately swerved his whole character concept over
