Canadian Chemist Crystallographer...dammit, there isn't a word that starts with C to say I play TTRPGs, is there? Anyway, not a geek in a can, despite the name. Am a geek though.

If you want something Vanilla+, the Final Mod Pack is great. If you want a massive expansion on everything, conceptually, The X-Com Files is what you want. And 40k: Rosigma is an ever-expanding Warhammer total conversion featuring EVERYTHING.

His injuries from 1918 left his legs and left arm with limited mobility. In 1924, he became the acting director of the RCAF. After he left the RCAF, he became the first honorary president of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his last years, he struggled with alcoholism.

Wounded and bleeding, he crash-landed inside Allied lines after shooting down four planes. Barker was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions. Still recovering, he could barely walk a few paces to receive his medal at Buckingham Palace on March 1, 1919.

I can't promise no jumpscares, but I think One Ping Only might fit this vibe? I'm sure someone who has actually played it might be able to help tell you how well it fits, my brain just locked in on the sea aspect of what you said.

I would also say that the Sunless games are definitely darker in tone then Fallen London, though all of them are eldritch.
