80 Days for Positive User Reviews
✓ Amazing! My favorite iOS game of all time.I got 80 days a few years ago, and have been obsessively playing it since. The beautiful writing, combined with the awesome design, and everything else combines to create a extremely good game. The cost is worth it; I would spend much much more for it if I needed to..Version: 1.25
✓ LOVE the narrative choicesI’m completely addicted to these story ‘games”. First I tried RegencyLove and started looking for more. Got this and the Sorcery series, Imaginary… This one is unique and I found I had to consider different things at the same time. I didn’t look up a walk through until I’d spent about 6 hours on this. Can’t recommend this game more. I’m on my third play through and I’m loving it!.Version: 1.27
✓ Engaging storyGreat game and more than worth the price. Immersive stories that alter your decisions. With so many different routes I have rounded the earth 5 times before writing this (successfully and unsuccessfully, days of gameplay I may add) and still want to play again to explore new storylines. Amazing writing..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Very Immersive and unique experienceThis game really is a work of art, the gameplay and star feel very unique and fleshed out and the replay value is almost endless. Would highly recommend..Version: 1.1.1
✓ The one game that I've never deletedI've played it so many times, so many ways. It's engrossing, beautiful and so much fun. Has been on my phone for years and will continue to be for more to come I'm sure! Get it, play it, love it!.Version: 1.27
✓ Truly amazing game, incredibly well-plannedHonestly the height of second-person stories, the storyline really puts you into the shoes of the mr. Fogg’s poor assistant. Thankyou inkle👌.Version: 1.27
✓ AMAZING!!!This game is a must have for those who love a good story and an adventure. The steampunk feel is great to!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Incredibly immersiveThe choices and story draw you right in. You make your own adventure, and no decision is insignificant. Beautiful story telling.Version: 1.24
✓ Fogg & Co. make for hearty adventureThis is a remarkable game, bringing the best of classic adventure together with a finely crafted Steam-Punk surrounds. Everything feels right at home here, and the difficulty in the game is rather exciting. However, this is an excellent model of the old saying "it's the journey, not the destination" and the self-created storyline kept me engaged and hanging on to my [seat] watching the clock. Replayable and worth the money..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great game, many options gone to wasteIt's a great game, love everything about it, completed the trip and won but I feel like many other interactions go unheard of due to the fact of the pressure in completing the trip. Would love to play a sandbox mode if you will where you can do as you please and travel and have fun continuously traveling the world..Version: 1.25
✓ Great JourneyThis is excellent fun, more really than a game. Very educational. You may want to hurry to get back under 80 days early on and that’s fine, but even if you go over it’s a blast to go through all sorts of adventures and scrapes. Just keep in mind you can start all over again when you return. Also, some southern routes I thought there was no way to make it back in time but I did and had all sorts of wild things happen along the way including shipwrecks and surviving a shooting! Still made it back on that one before 80 days. Last trip I didn’t make it back until Day 111 but it was the most fun ever, including the Nautilus and mermaids! Tip on North Pole if you want to survive, do everything, make friends with everyone or you won’t make it. So don’t be afraid to try new routes, meet new people, explore and have fun along the way. Endlessly playable. 5 stars..Version: 1.27
✓ Needs to be fixedI bought this game only to be able to play for 10 minutes and have it crash consistently at night 2. I’ve tried to restart my phone and also played on airplane mode and nothing works. Needs to be fixed immediately.Version: 1.26
✓ Fun, Adventurous game with great story.I like how the game has you explore different areas, cultures, people, etc. I’ve learned a lot. It’s Not a game to play if you want to kill people action action action. It’s a chill, relaxed game if you want to take the time to read dialogue and explore. I wish it was a little bit more like the 80 days movie (2004) and you can take a woman with you. Would play it a lot more if it had a little more romantic gameplay because I mean come on, it’s around the world.. guys have fantasies too lol!.Version: 1.27
✓ A perfectly designed gameThis has one of the best stories I have ever read, and lasts many hours. The gameplay mechanics allow for a learning curve that allows you to get better as you play, unlike other story-based games. If you like reading or anything like that, you will love this game. P.S., Try not to spoil the storylines by looking up how to find them, it is still possible to find them on your own as the are sometimes referenced in the other storylines..Version: 1.27
✓ Thoroughly engagingBeautifully simple graphics, great soundtrack, engaging storylines, amazing replayability, and a big dash of steampunk. This is by far my favourite app in a long time!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ FantasticTruly a great game. So much replayability, fantastic writing, relaxed yet exciting feel, and an intriguing story..Version: 1.27
✓ Extremely enjoyable...Extremely enjoyable game to play, loved how I could make my own decisions to affect the game and was really cool to read interesting passages like a story that help you out throughout the game. Took me 3 tries to get back in 80 days but 3rd time lucky, smashed it in 71 days..Version: 1.25
✓ Awesome app!So worth the money lol! Promised to supply u with hours of fun! Dig the art style. Apart from the fact at that the Monsieur who didn't like to talk to servants is a dick everything else is fine;3.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Hugely EngrossingThis game demands you make quick decisions from limited information and lets you use either your intelligence, wit or force and either progress or perish. In addition to finding the fastest route you also need to finance your travels by entering the markets and bazaars to buy goods cheaply in one city and sell them for profit in the next city. You can also use disguises and bribes to gather valuable information, escape danger and evade government officials. It's addicting and even if you don't win the first time, you'll want to play again and agin. Great artwork and immersion in the Victorian-imagined era of wild inventions, flying ships and automated machines. Good fun..Version: 1.25
✓ Perfect story-tellingFun for both kids and adults! Played through this several times and just installed it again to see what I still missed. :-).Version: 1.25
✓ Wonderful and keeps me coming back for more years laterI cannot rate this highly enough. Truly a delight..Version: 1.27
✓ Love itI’ve had this game for some time now and still play it often. It is imaginative, engaging and unique. I highly recommend..Version: 1.27
✓ Such a tripThis game truly mesmerised me with it’s concept, writing and sound design. Playing for a few hours I emerged from the deckchair really feeling like I had _been_ places. I’ve eagerly checking the developer’s website for more news on further endeavours. Can’t wait to see what a team so talented can pull off next..Version: 1.27
✓ Incredible gameProbably one of the best games I have played and I have been playing it on and off since it came out. There are so many variables you can go through as you trek across the globe. I love geography so that with a great plot however you choose to move is so much fun.Version: 1.27
✓ Vicarious travel thrillsA simply BRILLIANT game with loads of replayability. Anyone who enjoyed Fighting Fantasy or Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid will love it. Very clever design and interface but the best thing is this game doesn’t patronise you - it’s intelligent, well-written and quite highbrow but still incredibly addictive. And the steampunk elements add a very clever contemporary twist to the novel’s source material. Thoroughly recommended..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Can’t stop Playing this game!I’ve payed 80 days 4 times now. I keep discovering new routes and cities and stories. Fantastic replay value. I rarely play iPhone games more than once. Excellent story telling. I understand the total word count is now over 75,000! Always a little pressure to keep on moving but always fun and always delightful..Version: 1.27
✓ Awesome, great story, great replay ability.For those that don't know, I'm fairly certain this is made from an old book called "around the world in 80 days" that had these exact characters and I love the way they turned it into a game. The story is great and there is so many different routes I've done three play throughs. Definitely recommend this app!.Version: 1.25
✓ Fun!I had lots of fun playing this original game. The atmosphere, the storyline, the possibilities... Well worth the price..Version: 1.25
✓ High playabilityLove the steampunk take on a classic; it still has the old world charm with the intrigued of something new and innovative. Multiple branching means you can play this game over and over again and discover hidden quests and plot lines..Version: 1.25
✓ Please fix the aspect ratioI just bought this game today, having played it a ton of times before on Steam. It’s a really fun and addicting game, but could you please fix the aspect ratio on the new iPad Mini? If that were fixed I’d give it a perfect score..Version: 1.27
✓ Excellent game, make money, take chances.NickS1984 is partly right about running out of money, but the key is to get extra in Europe and then choose your purchases wisely. If you buy the right goods and choose the route to make most by selling them you can make a big profit, my most is £6,000+,in addition to winning the wager money. Biggest difficulty so far is trying to go westward. Short route via North Pole ended in miserable frozen failure!.Version: 1.27
✓ Something different...I don't normally write reviews for games. However, in this case, it is well deserved. Not only is this game beautifully designed and written, with a cohesive storyline and excellent graphics, but the replayability value is immense - the game's hundreds of cities warrant many replays of your 80-day journey, each of which can take a few hours. The game mechanics are also excellent, with a "choose-your-own-adventure" style that fits perfectly with the story and additional factors, such as monetary constraints and ill health that provide fresh challenges at every turn. If you are looking for an action game, or the idea of a "game-book" and a primarily text-based adventure does not appeal, don't waste your money. However, if you want something to sit back, relax and have an adventure with, this game is truly a delight..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Addictive, clever ... and funnyWhat seems a simple enough game is in fact complex and engrossing. I'm on my tenth or eleventh journey, having completed a couple of times. The options change once you have 'won', with new cities appearing, plus the interest is in discovering additional plots. Part of the fun is wondering what will happen if you tempt fate - go out for a stroll and you might come back with a saleable artefact, a red face a or a picked pocket. Aside from that, the text can be rather beautiful and often very funny. I'm hoping there will be updates with new cities and story lines - and perhaps the Artificers could check over the gameplay, which occasionally blips... One suggestion - it would be great if you could sometimes buy food or medicine at the markets to boost your annoyingly flagging master - he tends to get peaky on long journeys unless tended to, despite having the right clothes and equipment..Version: 1.0.4
✓ This is the best mobile game ever made.I got this game just over 3 years ago, and since then I have had nothing but amazing experiences. It was fantastic the first time around, and I’ve jumped on every few months to do another one. This is the only game I have ever reviewed, and it deserves it. An expansive world, witty writing and fun gameplay all factor into a beautiful experience, with wonderful art and sound design. It is clear the devs put their heart and soul into this game. 10/10.Version: 1.27
✓ Xxx_pussi_Slayerr_69420_xxXGud.Version: 1.25
✓ Amazing!This game has sucked away 30+ hours of my time and I have completely enjoyed every second. Be warned, to fully enjoy this game you have to be willing to devote time to reading and strategizing but it totally pays off! Overall I strongly recommend you get this game. Five stars easily!.Version: 1.25
✓ Well narratedImmersive and Well Narrated. you would enjoy this gem if you love books or text based RPGs..Version: 1.27
✓ AmazingI love the choose your path options and the RPG style in one, it makes the game what it is, amazing..Version: 1.24
✓ Refreshing!What a relief! I've finally come across an iOS game with a unique concept and refreshing gameplay! Usually I'm done with a game in a few days or a week, but I've been coming back to 80 days for quite a while now. If you love to read, are keen on adventures or are a geography geek like I am, this game will definitely suit you. It's all about having a feel for the journey, making good decisions, figuring out smart ways to travel, to trade and to maintain Monsieur Fogg's health. What I love about the game is that every time you play it it's different, there are so many cities, so many stories and so many routes to take! Don't hesitate to pick this up, for a couple bucks it's a steal!.Version: 1.25
✓ I need more app game stories like thisPlay this over and over again, included kids and family and friends while playing, and it’s one of our favorite games for several years still. The simple sophisticated graphics, the clever storylines and surprise twists made this game worthwhile. Hope to see more of this team’s work!.Version: 1.27
✓ Wish I could give it 5 stars.....The game is fun. But, once you play it 1-2 times, you'll want new challenges. The app has Game Center achievements & challenges but no ability to SEE what you've earned or what is left to earn. That's really stupid. Makes re-play pointless. Also, the game should keep track of your statistics of past games played. Such as- most money earned, fastest trip, etc. Without these simple features, the game is really only good for one round. And for $4.99- one round of the game is expensive and not a good value since the graphics are simple, it's mostly a reading game and in-game functions are not well explained..Version: 1.25
✓ Intriguing!This game is simpy marvellous! A whirlwind adventure, with so many story options. I really look forward to putting more time into this. Given that the game can be restarted, could the devs please add an option to skip the intro movie?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Fantastic gameReminds me of Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? Great game, I played 2 games in a row and am addicted. Fantastic production values and seems to have excellent replay value..Version: 1.25
✓ Fantastic!This game is awesome. I have found it hard to put down. Highly recommended..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Who murdered Madame Shu?Utterly compelling and addictive, highly recommended. 51 days is my quickest but am sure it can be done quicker. I have read some bizarre reviews saying they have completed the game once and therefore don't need to play again. There are countless choices to be made and each one affects your route as you go on. New possibilities become available like visiting Cambridge at the start. I'm still not sure how to get to Snowden though? For anyone who gave it 1 star, try reading the description before you buy games. It's a game for people who prefer to think than blowing things up for no apparent reason. Thank you Inkle, more like this please..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Around the World adventureI loved the chance to travel around the world via so many different routes. The fun was never knowing what would happen next or what was the safest and fastest route. Read the book years ago and enjoyed it so am happy to now do the journey the way I choose..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Just wonderfulI’ve played this game so many times, almost out of options. Be great if Inkle put up a bunch of new cities or changed up the storylines for the existing ones (I’m that addicted), but I’ve had lots of terrific hours journey time nonetheless and can’t say thank you enough! Now here’s hoping Heaven’s Vault comes to iPhone and iPad soon!.Version: 1.27
✓ The best game on iOS!!!!This is my favourite game on my iPad every time you play you find new ways to travel the world a whole new story. Apart from a few repetitive events if you use the same travel like the American train robbery it's a great game!!.Version: 1.25
✓ Engrossing and beautiful.So impressed with this game/adaptive story book; highly recommended. I failed twice and had a blast, my girlfriend picked it up and loved it, finished it in 57 days first try (with a bit of advice..!) and had her suitcases full of every good and trinket she could carry the entire time, no surprises there xD - great fun..Version: 1.25
✓ Beautiful Game!It was the massive amount of well deserved 5 star reviews that got my interest in this game. I downloaded it and was certainly not disappointed. A truly immersive, and very addictive gamebook. I failed miserably on my first attempt and went well past my deadline of 80 days but who cares,..I enjoyed every minute of it and I’m going to play it again because the story is different each time you play it due to the type of in-game actions you take. The fun is in the journey itself. No nasty in-app purchases to pay either which is becoming so common in gaming apps these days. The recent update adds more exciting routes and storylines..Version: 1.2.1
✓ One of the best Games I’ve ever played.I don’t mean just on my phone, I mean ever. It’s surprisingly deep story, unique graphics and atmospheric music all combine for a game that is beautiful and haunting. Can’t recommend enough..Version: 1.27
✓ A densely packed narrative wonderYou want to know what happened on one of my attempts of this game? I decided I was going to attempt to cross the North Pole, thus cutting the time we’d take going across the world in half. We started our expedition aboard an icebreaker ship, and we had a jolly time. I even got to have tea and biscuits with a charming man in a scouting balloon. That is, until the engine exploded. Everything was gone. Our money, our supplies, everything. It was freezing, and we were forced to survive on scraps of frozen food. Fogg’s condition was deteriorating rapidly. I had to reach the North Pole base. If we could just do that, my master would be safe…But he wasn’t. He eventually couldn’t go further. I held him in my arms as he died, leaving the journal I was writing along the way with his body. And that’s how my trip to the North Pole went. A moment of pure literary genius I will never forget..Version: 1.27
✓ Simply amazingWho knew mobile games could have so much depth?.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Beautiful storytellingI have played through multiple times, sometimes making the trip in 80 days or less, sometimes considerably more. It all depends on choices you make, plus the sometimes sticky hand of Fate. Truly enjoyable!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best Game On IOSHavent spent more time on what is technically a book, i dont normally play games but by far i spent more time on this then on most games..Version: 1.25
✓ AmazingAt first I thought that this game was going to be about dumb decisions but as I played through the game a whole side of the story was revealed, blowing my mind. Amazing game. Highly recommend. Only one complaint. It's not a game you can play twice and get the same experience..Version: 1.2.1
✓ The best app game I've playedOn my 3rd time around the world, so different every time..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Superb gameGreat game, with tremendous variety and more buried secrets than I would have thought possible. And as much fun, if not more, on the second, third or fourth turns around the world as well..Version: 1.0.3
✓ I'm loving itAmazing game, love the interface, love the changing story and love the gameplay itself, nothing I could recommend more. I would love to see more cities or maybe even going around the world backwards maybe? But till then I'll be playing for the fastest time I can c: Ty for the game inkle.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Whatever happened to Inkle?With its 750,000 word narrative and the immense fun I had in my first game, I was compelled to play this game multiple times. The original story by Verne provided the ideal source material for this exceedingly well-written adventure game. My only gripe is now what? We want more. Whatever happened to Inkle and the amazing writer? There are plenty of other great adventure books out there from which more story-driven adventures could be created. You’d think that given this game’s extraordinary success and popularity that it’d be a cash cow ... nudge-nudge, wink-wink!.Version: 1.27
✓ Please make a sequel 🙏This game was created practically ages ago and I have never got bored on playing this game over and over and over again. The game is so soothing and simple yet it serves as a more lively alternative to literature due to its well-made gameplay. If inkle could make a sequel with a new storyline, I’m sure that game will become a hit!.Version: 1.27
✓ Absolutely amazingThis game is one of the best concepts I have seen in any video game. The brilliant style and mechanics compliment the fantastic writing and experience of adventure follow the two men on their journey around the world. With so many different adventures and routes to take this game is a gift that keeps on giving. This game gives the source material justices and fleshes it out onto a playable interactive experience of a lifetime. Though the price is steep I can assure you that is one of the best games on not only mobile but in all of video games. I love this game and it is truly amazing.Version: 1.27
✓ One of the best games I've ever played.Beautifully written, filled with surprises and challenging resource management, it's a game where your choices matter. After completing it the first time (no matter how far past 80 days) you'll unlock changed routes to make it like a whole new game. Can't recommend it enough..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Love this gameI'm loving this game and I hope they continue to update in the future.Version: 1.24
✓ A great escapeReally enjoy this game and have so since I've had it. Tend to binge through 80 days +/- then try to try again via different route. Best to put it down after one run (two max.), then play again in a few months. Perhaps it could be "updated" with some new locations, characters and vehicles (semi-sequel-like)...to add adventures. It is hard to put down/put away. Love it!.Version: 1.25
✓ Fantastic, highly replayable gameThough I tend to play quite a large amount of games on my iPhone, I very rarely write reviews for them. However, this game is absolutely superb and well-deserving of one. I'm on my third play-through now, and definitely foresee myself going through it at least several more times. The different routes and stories available make it so that you get a wildly different story every time and I sincerely enjoy consciously taking new paths each time. Additionally, the writing is above par for an app of this nature. Very fun and refreshing game given the quality of what is typically on the App Store. Couldn't possibly recommend it more than I do. Enjoy, all..Version: 1.25
✓ Great gameStunning game with multiple possible endings. Definitely worth the money. This is one of the games that you need to play a couple of times to see all the outcomes. You should consider buying it!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Fun, educational, addictiveI'm not much of a game player but I was going on a trip, so I googled games and this one came up as one of the most popular, best games, so I got it. I have gone around the world now four times, and each time I learned some new things about the planet, different countries, oceans, cities, etc. I had to look up cities and countries on maps. We died once at the North Pole because we thought it would be brilliant to make the smallest circumference; another time we didn't intend to go there but made a navigation mistake and almost died but were rescued and made it around the world in 64 or 65 days. On another trip we were a few days late and lost the wager. We went around the world again and made it in about 74 days. I've learned that when the valet makes the wisest, less reckless decisions, we do better. If he picks up something not his, he suffers the consequences. If he goes for an evening walk, he might gather useful information or he might get pick-pocketed or arrested. Take notes, useful for other trips. Buy maps at new markets so you get more routes, then sell them. Take care of Monsieur Fogg. Buy items at markets that you can later sell. Occasionally earn extra money doing chores at your hotel. Make friends. Make sure you have enough money by visiting banks. New York to London by airship is a good route. Engage in conversations and read the news occasionally. Love and compassion usually have good outcomes. This is a great game. 5 stars..Version: 1.25
✓ Great game!I'm. Not much of a gamer. I get bored too easy so it was great to find this game. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ A Lovely Game/BookI'm pleased there are so many positive reviews for this. I've played it several times trying to use different routes and there's always new stuff to find out, routes to open, market items etc. As mentioned in another review, it's very like the adventure books that were popular at school, choosing the next page to turn to to see what happened as a result of your decision. The steampunk orientation really appeals too. I'm also finding it educational, I don't really know the routes around the world in terms of city names. I've had to get the atlas out and am learning loads of geography, and some history too. Get it, it's £2.99, less than a pint in most places, it won't break the bank whether it's for you or not..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Best Mobile GameThis is without a doubt the best mobile game I’ve ever played, I must have sunken at least 200 hours into it. The story is incredible and the gameplay is enjoyable. The choices you make really seem to matter..Version: 1.27
✓ Mobile game that feels like a PC gameReally love the style, writing, and gameplay that’s offered here. One of the few mobile games that i find myself always coming back to. Definitely worth the money!.Version: 1.27
✓ Warning label!Warning! Warning! Warning! Do not buy this game! If you do not heed this warning, you will be sticked in front of your phone for hours on end trying to find all the easter eggs and endless possibilities. This game is just THAT great. Warning! Warning! Warning!.Version: 1.25
✓ Best iPad game I've Played!Interesting, fun, thought-provoking all things I found with 80 days. Expected little but found a lot and am all set for a repeat play. Superbly designed and written I can't recommend it more highly. Give it a go it is excellent..Version: 1.25
✓ WonderfulAs soon as you step off the beaten track (true you might fail to get back!) this game opens up into a treasure trove of elaborate characters and situations. Much more than I expected it to be on downloading, it’s been a delightful couple of hours!.Version: 1.27
✓ Great Game, a must have.This Game is amazing in anyway possible, the story is really mind blowing and with a deep suspense behind it, it takes quite some language skills to understand the words you will read, however, gameplay is just great. Get it now!.Version: 1.25
✓ One of my favorites80 Days is one of or the most unique games I have owned, and it is extremely fun. The amount of choice and openness makes you feel as if you are actually in the story. You get to choose everything from when to depart, where to go, and even what to buy! The branching story really makes the game feel engaging and fun. This is a game that I am very happy with. It deserves 5 stars easily, and is worth the money..Version: 1.25
✓ Just OutstandingThis game has reignited my interest in creative literature several times. It incorporates Vernian literature in with steampunk, resulting in an antiquated, but yet seemingly modern story of traversing the globe. I grew to like Passerpartout very quickly, he is a determined man, humble, & loyal; even when faced with a task & a master so unreasonable. Would highly recommend for anyone who is into adventure games or anything similar. A triumphant attempt at something new..Version: 1.27
✓ Just Words? Still FUN!I’m not sure why I thought this would be a glitzy, educational travelogue with a game theme, but I did . Then when I saw it was just a bunch of words, I was upset! But I decided to go ahead and play anyway. Turns out it is a blast! Your choices have immediate consequences and can keep you from achieving your objective- to get around the world in 80 days. My first trip ended after 48 days, the second took 94, and I’m on my third. It is a good game, but honestly not sure it is worth $5..Version: 1.27
✓ Wonderfully entertaining and replayableThe developers have created a detailed world where the Victorian age is mixed with a futuristic fantasy of incredible inventions. I know I will be playing this again to check out more routes, locations and characters. (Added: I don't know any other adventure type game as enjoyably replayable as this. After 7 completed trips, I'm still not even close to being done discovering all the richly described places, journeys, characters, fantastical inventions and adventures. It's a game created to be played again and again, since more possibilities appear on subsequent plays. This is an amazing game . ).Version: 1.25
✓ AMAZINGThis game is amazing. That’s all I need to say. It is completely brilliant. Get it!!.Version: 1.27
✓ 67 days!!!Played this through quite a few times before doing it in 67 days with no bank visits! The first time the story is interesting and adds to the adventure. After a few goes though it can be a bit repetitive and it would be nice to have a quick or cut-down option for the text as it would still be a fun game to play. It is different from nearly all other games I have purchased, played and enjoyed recently. I also love that there are no in-app purchases. Well done for that..Version: 1.25
✓ Great conceptGreat concept. Need more of this multiple choice replay value in gaming. The writer made it a point to present women as positive heroines, and men as emasculated eunuchs, inept bafoons, or malicious psychopaths. One issue that needed a fix was you buy an item in Nice that sells for 2200 in Berlin. Berlin isn't where you want to go, but you go there for the totally different route and luckily figure out how to get there, doing this so you can get that huge shot of money necessary to help cross the ocean later. But then pirates steal your suitcase. Or you can throw it off the train to ward off the Pirates. Either way, you missed out on the route you wanted to take AND lost the 2200..Version: 1.27
✓ Rather BrilliantA fantastic format for a choose your own adventure type game. The best of it's type I have played by a fair margin. Can't wait for another one by the developers..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Best Interactive Strategy GameEach time around the world differs. Choose your own path, buy and sell to get yourself and your master around the globe, but be sure to be a respectable valet. The only disappointment I have is that no other games can live up to this one. I've even purchased games by the same maker and they don't even come close..Version: 1.25
✓ Never gets oldYou could play this til the day you die and still discover something new each time. Insanely good and in-depth..Version: 1.27
✓ Spent and enjoyable couple of days playingLovely stylised graphics and interesting plot. Engaging until you make it round which took three attempts for me but I’ve not played it since..Version: 1.27
✓ Stylish and characterfulA fun romp across the globe where you manage funds and relationships as you chart a course to winning a wager. So many different routes to take and decisions to make, all underpinned by snappy writing, colourful characters and a fun dash of steampunk..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great game!Great game that can keep you interested for a long time as there are endless possibilities.Version: 1.25
✓ Wonderful game... As in, "full of wonders"! What a remarkable achievement, this is one of the best games I've ever played on an iDevice (and I find it works well on iPhone or iPad). A rich, textured world to explore while you herd your oblivious employer around the world..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Brilliant storytelling and art styleThis game has a great art style, great atmosphere in the different locations and a great, developing, varied story. The writing is fantastic and really paints the picture of the adventure and the setting. Well worth the time and money..Version: 1.25
✓ An incredible gameThis is just an amazing game. Maybe the best I've played on iOS. It's fresh, smart, and compelling. The production value is very high, and it's so atmospheric and evocative. It does an excellent job of communicating the excitement and adventure of a time when the world was just starting to open up to travel, but before the homogenization brought about by mass communication and affordable air travel. This game would be a bargain at twice the price..Version: 1.25
✓ Excellent, amusing and re-playable!I’ve owned this for a couple of years and every time I come back to it I’m reminded again what a great game it is. So many stories, so many choices. In my top 5 apps ever!.Version: 1.27
✓ GreatLove this game! Cool gameplay, interesting plot, great replay value. One of the only games on iOS that I keep coming back to. Wish it kept track of all my routes though, not just the last one..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Believe the reviewsI heard people talking up this game for months. I finally took the leap and it is as good as they say. One of the best games I've played on iOS. Won't be for everyone, but if you love to read and appreciate great game design it is money well spent..Version: 1.23
✓ Tres bon, oui?Very amusing. Good replayability. Like it a lot..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Absolutely riveting!80 days is one of the most riveting games I have found on the app store. Perhaps THE best game on here. I bought this back in 2014, but I find myself coming back to it time and again. You'll never get sick of it! If you want to have a game on your phone, make it this one!.Version: 1.27
✓ Truly outstanding!I first played this game when it came out. Since then I have re-installed it to play again every six months or so because the game is just that good! Endless hours of entertainment. Trying to win the 80 day wager is only the start. This game is incredibly rich in substance and I can’t recommend it enough..Version: 1.27
✓ WonderfulI still think about this game years after I first played it. A great game but it's the writing that I loved the most..Version: 1.25
✓ Incredible!Inkle has done it again! They have created another absurdly, masterful creation. I can not wait until sorcery 3!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ JoyfulThis is the best iPad game I've played. Very imaginative, also nostalgic and unbelievably replayable! Please make many more games like this one. Thank you!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ DisappointedPlease bring more LANGUAGES its high level English here and not everyone can fully appreciate. It's the least you can do at this price....Version: 1.25
✓ Loved this!Third time lucky with beating the clock! Highly entertaining and transports you to another era. One of my favourite apps. I hope they create spin-offs with new storylines..Version: 1.25
✓ Beautiful GameThis game is incredible, created in the spirit of true gameplay. The makers take pride in the fact that the game is completely stand alone: it isn't necessary to be online to play; and it doesn't make use of in-app purchases ( this game certainly provided opportunities for further profit). You pay for a full, unlimited experience. And what a rich experience it is, too. The balances of difficulty, pace, need for comprehension, and potentials for failure and reward have been judged brilliantly. The subtleties of the interactivity are frightening. Three times I have played the game, and three completely contrasting, yet appropriate, sides of Mr Fogg's persona and temper were on show because of the decisions I had made. I first became aware of Inkle's work in my work as a Primary School teacher, using Sorcery to illustrate the potentials of interactive fiction. It stirred the children into writing a brilliant collaborative class story and I can't wait to share this with them in the new academic year. For a game so complete, we are very fortunate for the low price. I hope it continues to enjoy continued success and that the folks at Inkle continue to produce brilliance like this in the future..Version: 1.0.3
✓ One of my favourite games80 days has a rich story world and due to its choice-based action its very replayable.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Really goodGreat game, a rare one that is great fun without in app purchases.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fun, if I could playI downloaded this around an hour ago and it keeps crashing right at Paris. I go to the hotel and it crash and will not open again. I deleted, tried it on my iPhone and iPad, yet I can not get past Paris. I see it is a good game an I would like to play it, but I can not progress more than 5 minutes in..Version: 1.26
✓ Best game on the App StoreThis is by far the most fun I've ever had on a iPhone! My only criticism is it completely drains your battery life. I could start at 100% get half way and have to plug back in because I only have 20% left. Overall I still give it 5 stars as it has hours of enjoyment, just remember your charger!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Highly recommendableThis game has a simple concept, travel around the world within 80 days. But it is so much more than that. It is a hectic race against time to get around the world. There are many different routes to take it and so much story behind it all. Can’t recommend this enough for the price it is..Version: 1.27
✓ Just one suggestionI really enjoy the game, going around the world seems like a fantastic adventure. At times I wish I was traveling with them using those fantastic traveling machines. My only suggestion would be to make the clock more accessible, many times I try to type it to make the time go faster but it would work at ransoms or not work at all..Version: 1.25
✓ A game I didn't know I neededI am obsessed with travel and prefer games that require little skill. You can fail at this game but it won't stress you out, you'll jump right in again and play another round..Version: 1.25
✓ Awesome !!!If you love the original book then Inkle will not disappoint as they bring this classic tale to life. Can't wait for their next release..Version: 1.0.3
✓ BrilliantHasn't left my iPhone since the day it was released..Version: 1.25
✓ Choose your own adventure at its finestThis game harkens back to the old choose your own adventure novels that I loved as a child. Based on the Jules Verne classic "Around the World in 80 Days", this text based adventure has you choosing your own route around the world in the fastest time possible. I spent hours poring over the map and I loved every second of it. This is an absolutely stellar entry into the choose your own adventure franchise and I cannot recommend it highly enough..Version: 1.1
✓ A charming gemFor the price of this app, I’ve gotten more than enough value for it. After such a long time, I’m still getting new experiences and surprises. You start with a meager suitcase and rush off to race around the world in 80 days. But the journey will be nothing that you expect. The game play is simple. It’s a choose your own adventure with some inventory management, time management, area exploration, and keeping Fogg alive and well. You can buy and sell curio items for profits. You can buy items to make the travel less strenuous. You can buy items that allow conversation during travel longer and more fruitful. Managing your inventory is a large part of a successful journey. For downsides, I wish the app had more documentation. You gain statuses like “steadfast” or “well mannered” but there’s no indication of how these affect gameplay. To me, they’re 100% useless as I have no idea of why I would want them or what it does. Maybe it opens new choices? Who knows. For upsides, the adventures are epic. But I enjoy the fact that you can find romance with a man or a woman, making it more LGBT friendly. Also, it seems that your character has African decent, and it certain areas race is taken seriously. These touches really made me happy. You won’t be disappointed if you buy this app. My suggestion is to take the strangest routes, try to always hit different cities, and have an adventure!.Version: 1.27
✓ The best 'Choose Your Own Adventure' ever written!This book/game is infectious. As soon as I finished my first perilous journey, I immediately set off again. The app even encourages it by not waiting to start you over. I've done it three times now, deliberately trying a different path each time. Each journey was unique. Amazing writing. Flawless gameplay. 10/10..Version: 1.24
✓ Great gameReally fun gam, especially on the first couple tries when you're still figuring out the right strategies. Replayability would be improved if I could compare journeys to my previous ones. It would be fun to try and beat previous high scores of money remaining, speed, etc..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Loved it!I am finding this really engaging... Am still trying to do it in under 80 days... Always seem to make it to America, and run out of time!!! Really great!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ You beautiful people you!Thanks for adding iPhoneX support, this game is so good I have been playing without the support, but always hoping. Now it’s here and the it looks beautiful. One my my all time fav games..Version: 1.27
✓ Amazing! Worth the money!As someone who has read 80 Days Around the World about 80 times, I love this game! It develops the story just like in the book, no matter what route you take! Totally 100% recommend, but I must say it can get a bit boring after several play throughs..Version: 1.27
✓ Fantastic storyThis is the best game on my iPod. It has a fantastic story. You should include an Everest adventure or go around the opposite way..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Excellent GameCompared to other games available in the App Store, this game stands its own. A diamond in the rough, it's an original game with quite a lot of enjoyable qualities that gives plenty of game time. While there is plenty of reading involved, if you've enjoyed Jules Verne's works such as 80 days around the world, you should be able to bear all the text at the very least. I'd recommend this game to anyone who likes a good story, but it's highly recommended to those who've read and enjoyed reading Verne's novels..Version: 1.25
✓ 59 days : addictedExcellent game! Don't be put off by the black and white graphics and strong loyalty to the tone of the book, (assuming you know this was a book, I'm looking at you, the under 25s). It's a slow starter but 100% worth it, it grows on you and you find yourself looking forward to getting home to play it. Once completed, (no mean feat), you can play again and again using different routes, different answers to conversations, different reactions to problems/attacks/love interests, it's a real spider web of possible outcomes - and on top of all the adventuring you can buy and trade in the markets, to fund your journey. If you're playing this right you should never need to stop at a bank! And the cherry on the cake - you learn some geography and some history..Version: 1.25
✓ Hearts in my eyesThis game is a true delight, with excellent replay value!!! an all time favourite and all time great..Version: 1.25
✓ BrilliantA great game, with an incredible amount of content-ignore the people's complaining about repetitiveness, you just have to venture off the beaten track to find new adventures..Version: 1.25
✓ Yes yes yes!!I am having a wonderful adventure distracting myself from study. This is extremely replayable and makes you more 'worldly' literally..Version: 1.2
✓ Amazing.I've played it through maybe 20 times now and it never gets boring. Always something else to try or a different way to go. Highly recommend..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great Story-based RPG, Strategy, and Resource Management GamePros: - Easter eggs and plot twists galore - Factual landmarks (Was pleasantly surprised by the game's accurate depiction of faraway lands when I visited Istanbul and Marrakech for myself last year) make for great travel planning IRL - Thought-provoking dialogue and humanism, eerie dictatorships and the anarchy of revolution. I especially loved the piece on the untold stories of people that "progress" leaves behind. - Still can't tell if I love or hate the Artificers Guild, but the politics are intriguing and got to love the explosives - Making money from great sales - Bribery through costume to get some cheap tickets Cons: - Time passes too quickly to be able to effectively buy or sell before morning departures, forcing you to stay the night - Some options become less relevant later in the game, like socializing at the hotel - Starting items are pretty random - No bonus points for having your boss like you - If you want to "win" and take the most efficient route you miss out on cool stories :( - Hard to keep track of the politics and "quests" Protips: If you selected wrong on one of the text selections, close out of the app and relaunch to reset your choices for the current scene. Only works if you haven't finished the scene. Also, stay away from Muscat..Version: 1.27
✓ Great game!Just got this game and have been drawn right in. I can see already I'm going to get heaps of value out of it..Version: 1.2.1
✓ A Glorious Trip!Having already played this for many hours on PC I was more than happy to buy it again for iPhone, due to the incredible depth of experience it offers and the boundless opportunities its gameplay beckons you with. Suffice to say I love it; love, slavery, war, lost civilizations and more make certain to fuel a markedly different experience each time you play it. Hurry if you want, languish if you prefer ... the point of this game is not the destination, it is the journey. Inkle's best yet..Version: 1.25
✓ Worth 80 starsA brilliant adventure game around the world! And not just the ‘normal’ world but a steampunk version to boot! Love the characters and setting. Will recommend.Version: 1.27
✓ Clever game...entertaining and written like a choose your own adventure story.Clever game...entertaining and written like a choose your own adventure story. Opportunity for more options & outcomes to be added later, and more extensive routes designed..Version: 1.25
✓ Charming GameGood writing and options do matter so choose carefully!.Version: 1.25
✓ FANTASTIC GAMEI have been enjoying this game immensely. I love the steam punk storyline and the ability to replay the game over and over again. I've only discovered one minor problem so far in the storyline. Why would the German king name his new railway the Reich (German for Republic) Railway? One suggestion would be to let users have control of the audio source and volume. My best time so far is 54 days..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Text Adventure in 80 Days!An awesome text-adventure. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews; this is a game of fantasy and imagination. High replay value. I wish there were more games of this style to this high quality standard..Version: 1.0.4
✓ FantasticMore modern take on interactive fiction, lots of replay value and the lore is interesting. Only wish there was a mode that made ‘leisure travel’ easier, sometimes it is a bit lengthy speedrunning through the beginning to get to a particular voyage/city you want to see..Version: 1.27
✓ Choice and Consquence with a good storyIt plays like an interactive short story with plenty of player choice and consequence along with some random events. Excellent value for the current asking price, I really enjoyed replaying it and making different choices..Version: 1.24
✓ Jules Verne would be proudI just finished playing this game through for probably the thirtieth time or so, and I have once again discovered new stories, new interactions, and a new route across the world. It is reading intensive, but I love the rich, detailed world that was created for this game, it keeps me interested in replaying so that I can learn something new about it. 10/10 will play again 🙃.Version: 1.25
✓ An incredible game!After two playthroughs, this game is great. There are some many choices. It still feels new and exciting. I have come across so many interesting stories and I can't wait to see what happens next!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ 10/10 Must Have!!!I saw this on sale in the featured section of the App Store. It was only $2 and looked fun, so I decided to get it. The game is similar to a choose your own adventure style. You start in London as a valet to Phileas Fogg and have to choose the areas you will go to in order to get around the world in 80 days while managing funds, Fogg's health, and other dilemmas that arise along the way. I will admit, I gave up numerous times😂😂 But finally, I did it in only 56 days!!! (almost killing Mr. Fogg in the process lol) Tl;dr - Get this game (especially if it's on sale.).Version: 1.25
✓ Fantastic gameThis game is beautifully designed and executed. I have played it a few dozen times to try different routes, strategies, etc. and I'm still enjoying it. It has a well-crafted, seemingly endless generative narrative and an unusual design schema of steam punk and automata. One request to the developers- the sound is all ambient but can't be turned off in settings. I would like to play while listening to my own music please. Please add an option to turn off the sound..Version: 1.25
✓ This is the best game I ever played, no lieI first heard about this game from my cousin, this one and invisible inc, (which is good too). Once I started my first adventure, I could not put down the game for 2 hours, it was that intriguing. The graphics are very beautifully done and the storyline is very well thought through with solid characters. The fact that there are 100+ different routes definitely added the extra star, otherwise making it 4 of a way to short story. I love that Inkle can do multiplayer after you do pretty much all the story options (like I have) and It would be cool if Inkle could do updates to advance the story? THAT WOULD MAKE IT SOOO COOOLLLLLLLLLLL. And once you get bored of the story, to you gamers, I advise you create your own achievements for the game or try playing the character in different personalities. Great job Inkle, an astounding masterpiece..Version: 1.27
✓ There is a bug in the newest updateBut it sounds like they are working on it..Version: 1.26
✓ Great replay value & plays offlineThis is a beautifully produced visual novel with some fun trading and travel dynamics and a ton of replay value. A very fresh spin on steampunk / alternate history. Added bonus no connection required so good for flights w/out data. Can’t recommend highly enough..Version: 1.27
✓ A great find!I usually don't take the few games I have loaded on my phone seriously, (only playing them on occasion) until now that I stumbled on to 80 days. Once you start playing, it's hard to stop. I've been totally disabled since 2008 and don't get out very much, so this has been a great way to pass the time. I never knew there were these types of games available. I wish I would have discovered the game sooner. I can't say enough good things about the game so I will simply say thank you inkel team. You're genius! I look forward to many adventures. I'm also looking forward to playing Sorcery sometime soon. Cheers!.Version: 1.25
✓ BeautifulReccomended.Version: 1.24
✓ The best iOS game ...... I have ever played. The author is literate, eloquent and manifestly erudite, and the game is a joy to play, getting better as an understanding of its possibilities is gained. I recommend playing it with a globe of the world or an atlas to hand..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Fab✌️👍👌.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Easily best game on mobileI've probably gotten more than 60 hours of enjoyment and replay ability from this game and will get more in the future. It is a great choose your own adventure where you manage your own resources. There are so many cities and sub-plots around the world. Once you've finished the game in 80 days, try doing it in 40, then try going to the north-pole, find a teleportation device, go to the moon, get to the center of the earth and mutiny a ship. This is just the tip of the iceberg of a great game. There are certain endings (such as finding out the murder mystery on a ship) that I am still trying to complete today. Purchase it, unless you're illiterate you won't regret a single cent, and good luck with your master's wager..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Very good! This is a 4.5 Rating! 🤔I think it needs a few minor adjustments, but still amongst one of the best games I've played, (one player wise). I agree with another reviewer on here about having to go through the titles every time you re-start, kills it a bit! A few other similarities. Only for frequenting players, wanting to improve their trip time. You are taking to much of my time!! Otherwise - Tres bien!.Version: 1.25
✓ Very good. Better than all Fortnite crapAstonishingly beautiful description of cities. Very formal, but also excellent, wording. I have one suggestion to make. Perhaps you could make other games like this; for example, you could make another version of the game, based on the same storyline but set in, say, the 1970s, with modern-day versions of Fogg and Passepartout. It would be cool to have the possibility of travelling into space. I achieved a time of 76 days on my FIRST try. My fastest time is now 46 or 56 days. I am trying to complete the journey in 20 days or even less (that is my goal)! Hope you use your talent to make more games like this. Kind regards, Baldi's Schoolhouse P.s: Could you make it so that the Icewalker isn’t rigged to break down; I end up losing 2 weeks of travel, and I find that the journey could be achieved in 20 something days if it would just reach the North Pole, where it is only a 2-3 day wait until Fogg finds a couple of airships. I love this game! Keep going guys!!.Version: 1.27
✓ Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Amazing game, so worth the money! you can take so many different paths and engage with different recurring characters, also in my opinion the simple graphics and colour palette complement the atmosphere of the game so well. seen a few reviews talking about struggling with the financial side of the game, but honestly if you just concentrate on what you are spending money on and make use of the bank it’s really hard to screw up. similarly some dislike the format of the game, to me it was like an interactive book, so if you don’t enjoy reading then I wouldn’t recommend. otherwise an all round amazing game, with potential for many replays, on of my favourite mobile games!!.Version: 1.27
✓ In my top 5 everOne of the most re-playable games I've played (and re-played...). If you have an imagination you will love it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Gorgeous, elegant, zero profanity, FUNI love this game. I've played it at least 100 times and still finding some new twists. But! I would love an update, with more cities and travel options, ability to travel west, or change direction when necessary- and maybe rewind ability like in the Sorcery games? Definitely more cities though, please!.Version: 1.25
✓ One of the deepest and adventurous games I've ever playedThe second the game tells you to grab whatever you can and travel the world is amazing. The brief insight to local cultures in the marketplace to speaking to people on your adventure I had a great time finding all different ways to travel the ways under 80 days. Loved it and would absolutely love if a sequel could come out.Version: 1.25
✓ LOVE it!This is one of my favourite games ever. Not only is it delightful to play and beautifully written, but it’s pretty much a game that counts as a book. You can read it wherever or whenever you want, whether you’re in the mood to relax or be excited. The absence of ads, bugs, and glitches really helps absorb you into the story. I also love the idea of turning a book into a game, and I hope that the creators of 80 Days continues to make more beautiful book-inspired games like this one!.Version: 1.27
✓ 80 daysSo far so good ,found it hard to put down once I started..Version: 1.0.2
✓ I always come back to this game.I bought this game about two years ago and it’s still the best game I’ve ever played on the iPhone. The writing really brings you into a really interesting steampunk world and you’re always on a new adventure every time you play it. I pick this game back up every few months and I’m always surprised to find a new story because of how small things like one new city, your relationship with Mr. Fogg, and even just the things in your bag will change your travels. I mainly wanted to write this to thank the developers - I’ve passed time on numerous flights and car trips with this game without feeling time pass by..Version: 1.27
✓ I like itInterface very smooth and professional. A joy to play..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Replayablity wins!A choose-your-own-adventure book far bigger than paper could ever account for! Trade and travel your way around the globe in a steampunk age, where things can and will go wrong. You can't see it all in one play through; it's different each time too. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.1
✓ AmazingThis is one of the best iOS games I have ever played. I got completely stuck into the story for 3 hours before I realised I had to do stuff..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Truly, epic.This game is a tiny speck of light in world of dark and horrible mobile gaming. Thank you for making this wonderful game and restoring some of my faith in humanity..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Glad I took a chance on this game!I’m weary of games you have to pay for before you can even play. I wish iTunes allowed you to try games out for a short period of time before you decided to purchase. Which is why I’m always reluctant to play games you have to buy before you can even download them. This game sparked my interest and I took a chance on it and am so glad I did. I absolutely loved it! It’s unique, easy game play, makes you think and plan ahead, choose your own path/story - basically everything I love in a game! Download it - you won’t be disappointed!.Version: 1.25
✓ Great little gameWould have had 5 stars if it weren't for having to sit through the intro every time you start. Intensely annoying..Version: 1.25
✓ The pinnacle of iOS development!The consistency with which Inkle continues to support this stellar app represents the gold standard of iOS development. What a wonderful experience this interesting spin on a classic story has proven to be. As such, it has become one of the few permanent fixtures on my device (iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.x)..Version: 1.25
✓ AmazingGreat game, so varied on each play through with such subtle nuances to keep you interested time and time again! Truly fantastic Cannot wait for more from inkle.Version: 1.0.2
✓ A fantastic journeyTakes me back to Choose Your Own Adventure books of my childhood. Fun and clever, I've completed two trips around the world but am yet to make it happen in 80 Days. Luckily the game is replayable..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Perfectly executedHonestly couldn't have hoped for better, but I think it is slightly overpriced, having been out for so long. I feel $2.59 would be better value. Other than that this is a perfect game.Version: 1.1
✓ Worthy of the bookGreat interactions that actually have an impact on your game play. I like that should you chose to be suave or snooty your journey is affected..Version: 1.25
✓ Thank you inkleNot just a wonderful game -- great storytelling, art and music -- but an inspiration in real life. Reminded me what a joy travel is and I'm booking a far-flung holiday in the near future!.Version: 1.25
✓ Beyond AmazingThis game , How to even begin. It is so engrossing. The sound, the story, the endless replay value. Truly a force to be reckoned with. Would love to see a sequel of some sort updated for newer devices, one of my favourites have had it on every phone since it came out..Version: 1.27
✓ Adventure!80 Days takes literate interactive fiction, which already was an excellent fit with iOS, and adds an elegant, robust series of currencies. It's not quite open ended; more of an interesting, almost unique rolling story full of memorable action. Too good for kids, and extraordinary with its care. Highest recommendation..Version: 1.25
✓ Such an adventure!This is the first choose-your-own-adventure, or interactive fiction "novel", where I've felt truly along for the ride. The descriptions are vivid and full of detail, the characters well formed, and the mechanics game-like enough to give you some strategy-meat to chew on - in my latest run I was constantly running out of cash, and made the bold decision to go to Auckland to make a buck off a wooden box, leading to disaster and white-knuckled tension as I lost days in Oceania. I can't recommend this game enough!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Does the source material justiceThis is a fantastic game with some of the best writing you will ever find. It is very replayable, as you can go through the game a dozen times without exploring every part of the story. This is simply one of the best games out there..Version: 1.25
✓ Took a while to warm up to, but very innovativeI must admit, it took about 40 days in my first play-through before I warmed up to this game. My disappointment was because I was expecting an interactive fiction game, but this is really a resource management game. But the innovative gameplay really grew on me over time. This is a fantastic game and you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Gameplay: The ultimate goal is to make it back to London by day 80. You have to manage several variables/resources: Fogg's health, money, time, discovering transportation routes, and your relationship with Fogg. Of course, trying to increase one variable may cost you others (for example, selling an item in Cairo may earn you a lot of money, but you'll have to take the extra time to plot a path to Cairo). And you'll get opportunities where you can only increase one variable (for example, sometimes when you stay at a hotel, you can choose to attend to Fogg, do extra work to earn funds, or socialize and learn more transportation routes). Further, there are mini-stories in most cities and on some transportation routes. Some stories are small and have no impact on your overall journey, some stories give you a "side quest" that you have to go to another city to fulfill, and some will completely mess with your journey by taking you to a different destination than the city you intended. As examples: I got teleported from the middle east to Africa; kidnapped by a submarine captain; led a mutiny; crashed in an airship and almost died; and discovered a floating city. Visuals and UI: the visuals are gorgeous. They're quite simple--just pictures that move around a little, not even real animations, but the game does it so well that it never felt boring. Every city looks a bit different, and there are probably ~20 methods of transport all with their own pictures. My only complaint is the map--although it's pretty, it's also quite clunky to use. I wish there was a flat map option, and an option to turn off other players' progress markers, since those also clutter up the UI. Sounds and music: the sound effects are varied and really help the game come alive. Every method of transport has its own sound effects, and cities in different regions have their own music/sound effects. It didn't bug me that I couldn't play my own music, because the sounds felt like part of the experience. Story: the weakest link for me. There's no overarching story beyond the fact that you have to return to London in 80 days. Mini-stories in cities rarely carried forward after you'd left the city, although there were a few instances where the game remembered my past actions. For example, in one play-through, a chinese mechanic taught me some mandarin, and later on, I had the option to speak some mandarin to chinese workers; in another play through where I didn't learn mandarin, I didn't have that option. However, this example is a rare instance--most of the time your past choices don't matter once you've left the city and its mini-story. Further, I found most of the mini-stories bland. The ones I listed above under "gameplay" were the best examples--most of the time, it was just something simple like meeting a gondolier who doesn't like machines, sheltering a rebel who gives you a flag, etc. (As an aside, I did like that I could smooch a lady in one story and flirt with a gentleman in another) Characters: unfortunately, most characters in this game are just your drivers/pilots, who you can talk to to discover more transportation routes. These aren't real characters, just a clever mechanism to uncover routes. Other characters appear in mini-stories, but only appear in the mini-story and are never heard from again. I found the main characters, Passepartout (you) and Fogg quite interesting though! You can dictate Passepartout's personality through your decisions, though that doesn't seem to have any effect on gameplay. Fogg took me a while to warm up to, especially when he told me he doesn't like socializing with servants. But once you get past that stern English demeanor, he really grows on you. My favorite moment was when he told me I could call him Phileas since we were both dying. Hah! Battery usage: this app is a huge battery drain! It burns through 100% battery in an hour. I have a crotchety 4S, but I've never had problems with my battery. As a comparison, I can play interactive fiction games like Choice of Games and Tin Man Games without much impact on battery, and browse safari or listen to music for hours..Version: 1.2.1
