Failbetter Games have today announced that their nautical gothic exploration title, Sunless Sea, has more than doubled the best case scenario sales target that were set in place for it.
As of February 25th, the game had sold more than 100,000 copies, which is pretty good going whichever way you slice it.
A post made on the website of the London based Failbetter Games by analyst Adam Myers, states that studio broadly expected that that the game would sell anywhere between 5,000 and 50,000 copies.
The latter of course, proving to be the best case scenario that the independent studio more than doubled late last month.
“We’re delighted, and deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible,” Myers writes.
“Everyone who gave us feedback on the game. Everyone who trusted us enough to back the game on Kickstarter, or buy it during early access. Everyone who shared their expertise. Our wonderful Fallen London players. Thank you all! We can continue releasing free updates. And we can keep on making the games we want to make, with stories that get into your dreams.”
Originally, Failbetter Games soft-launched Sunless Sea on their website in June 2014, before releasing it on Steam in early July where it’s been doing the business ever since.
