Game description generated withAI

Travel back to the year 1872, with a twist of steampunk. Join Phileas Fogg in his wager to circle the globe in eighty days in this immersive game. You have the freedom to select your travel route on a 3D globe, using modes of transportation like airships, mechanical camels, steam-trains, submarines, and more. TIME Magazine named 80 DAYS as Game of the Year in 2014.

With exceptional art by Jaume Illustration, a script of half-a-million words by Meg Jayanth, original music by Laurence Chapman and built using the critically acclaimed inklewriter engine that also powers the Sorcery! series, 80 DAYS is an interactive adventure that offers different outcomes based solely on the choices you make in the game.

As Phileas Fogg’s valet, Passepartout, you have the task to maintain your master’s health, your finances, and complete the journey on time. Keep in mind the clock is always ticking, and you are not alone in the race. Compete against other players to complete the journey in the shortest time possible. However, be cautious not to become bankrupt or run out of resources during your journey.

Balance your inventory to perform well but avoid carrying too much, which may slow you down. 80 DAYS is an intense race that operates on an in-game clock that never stops running. Use trains, steamers, hot-air balloons, horses, camels, and boats to move around the world, and keep track of your time.

Throughout the journey, the interactive story takes hold of every action you make. As the narrator, every destination and adventure unfolds based solely on every decision you make and the interactive stories engage your minds with murder, romance, rebellion, and intrigue await at every corner.

The app is network-connected and provides a live feed indicating other players' position, their routes, their triumphs, and their difficulties. You can battle to be the fastest player and learn from the experienced ones. Share your unique journey with friends, and also load other people’s routes to your app.

New York Times wrote that, "We've been dreaming of this future for decades. Guess what? It's here." And The Telegraph said, "This brilliant interactive novel reimagines Phileas Fogg's journey around the world... One of the finest examples of branching narrative yet created." The Verge stated, "For people who love high adventures and good writing, 80 Days is a voyage that must be taken." IndieGames.com also called it "A brilliantly paced, memorable and quite frankly terrific piece of modern interactive fiction, that masterfully blends strategy, resource management, and adventure." Joystiq praised the game's modern storytelling style that engages and delights.

Travel to 150 cities in the world and embark on a journey of millions of journeys. The creators have combined in-depth research with fantasy in an 1872 world of electrical tensions, inventions, and discovery. Climb mountains in Burma, trek the Zulu Federation, sail up the Amazon, and disappear under the Indian Ocean on your journey, but always remember to keep an eye on the time.
