Echo Bazaar
This one is really intriguing. Echo Bazaar has a similar format to many passive games: you get some limited number of actions per time period, then you click things and see what happens. However, Echo Bazaar is filled with unique content. Each action advances your own personal story in Fallen London and gradually unlocks mysteries. I’ve been playing for about a month now and I still find myself curious about the world of the game.
Echo Bazaar is still in beta and a bit slow and buggy. To sign up you must use a Twitter account and any people you want to friend in-game you must friend on Twitter. The other major downside is this game has no forums, which is a real pity as it would be really interesting to talk to other players about the things they are unlocking.
Nevertheless, if you like New Weird settings and bottomless mysteries, you have to play this game. Just make sure your nightmares don’t get too high.
