It's been a long time since I played the beginning. It's a game you play more or less permanently. I started my main character in 2016 and he's still going and having new stories.
I like the late Victorian/early Edwardian era myself. But few games use it, Arcanum is the only one that comes to mind. Fallen London is not regular London; as you hopefully have realized, it is a very different, very strange setting. London has been moved in its entirety underground by mysterious beings known as the Masters. There's a lot of weird stuff going on - London is now sitting right next to Hell for example (though not the Hell you are familiar with), there is a Lovecraftian Dreamlands-type area called Parabola, there is the Unterzee, filled with monsters, and there are lots and lots of secrets....the setting lore is quite involved and very strange. I don't want to spoil it. But yes I would give it a chance. The writing is top notch. And the setting is very cool. The starting prison, New Newgate, is in a giant stalactite in the roof, hanging over the Unterzee, accessible only by airship.
