  "account": "Fallen London is a text-based RPG created by Failbetter Games, where writers from popular games such as Baldur's Gate 3, Dishonored and Stellaris gather to create their most ambitious and unconventional work. The game takes place in a sunken Victorian city called the unterzee, where players can explore an ever-growing, interconnected web of stories and mysteries.\n\nPlayers can embark on lengthy main quests or smaller, bite-sized Exceptional Stories that are written by freelance contributors. Exceptional Stories reflect the unique perspectives of their writers, showcasing a diverse range of genres and styles. Some notable writers include Baudelaire Welch (who created the Dark Urge path for Baldur's Gate 3), Giada Zavarise (Paradox designer behind The Tomb-Colonies), Hazel Monforton (Borderlands 4 writer), and Heather Flowers (devious designer known for Unfair Flips).\n\nThese Exceptional Stories allow AAA writers to unleash their creativity in an environment that can accommodate their wildest ideas. The writers take full control of their stories from beginning to end, giving them more distinct voices in the game's narrative. As a result, Fallen London offers a unique space for unconventional storytelling and provides players with a rich, immersive experience.",
