Featuring stunning art by Jaume Illustration, a half-million word script by Meg Jayanth, original music by Laurence Chapman, and built using the same inklewriter engine that powers our critically-acclaimed Sorcery! series, 80 DAYS is an interactive adventure created by your choices, on the fly, and is different every time you play.
Playing as Phileas Fogg's loyal valet, Passepartout, you must balance your master's health, your finances, and the time, as you choose your own path from city to city all the way around the world. Bribe your way onto early departures, but don't let yourself go bankrupt or you'll be sleeping rough and begging for aid! Trade items for profit, and collect the equipment for the conditions you'll face: but too much luggage will slow you down...
80 DAYS is a breakneck race, with an in-game clock that never stops running. Trains, steamers, hot-air balloons, boats, camels, horses and more leave and arrive minute by minute.
Every city and journey is narrated via an interactive story where you control every action. Will your choices speed you up - or lead you into disaster? Will you earn Fogg's trust and respect? Will you uncover the secrets and short-cuts that can shave days off your time? Murder, romance, rebellion and intrigue await!
The app is network-connected, with a live feed that shows you the position of all the other players of the game, their routes, triumphs and disasters. You can race to be the fastest - or look ahead to learn the secrets of the world.
Share your own journey with friends, and load other's routes directly into your app so you can race head-to-head.
80 DAYS is a complete experience, with no in-app purchases, and was made by a core team of just four people. If you enjoy it, please leave a rating, and check out our Sorcery! series.
Reviews
This game was boring!
Jen Nevlyn
I was so disappointed! I haven’t bought a game in YEARS and I researched this one before I bought it. I read all the reviews. I’m so mad at myself for spending $5?. I want my money back.
Very nice!

I do like video games, but this is so well made! It takes you around the world, and you get to make choices with you master, Monsier Fogg. I think that this is a amazing game!
Awesome story line!
Placid Bull
With many interlocking stories and interactive people’s this game excels at modernizing the classic book with many new stories and perspectives. This game requires multiple play through to be able to enjoy the entire game and the amazing story writing.
Great Journey

This 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.
Uh...no

This is a text game like Zork with simple graphics but a more limited UI. Not sure where the hype came from. Not worth my money.
Great game

Fun game, played it on android, but why can’t I turn off the music in IOS? 5 stars on android.
Great Story-based RPG, Strategy, and Resource Management Game

Pros: - 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.
Not worth the hype.

I feel like it should be amazing, and it starts VERY good, but i don’t know ... it just isn’t worth money, I think if this was $1.99 maybe I would rate it 4+ stars but I gotta compare it to other games from this price point and sadly it falls short, I played it, for bored and tired of reading the story after day 50. Wouldn’t play this again as 80 days is WAY to short of a play through maybe if it was a different game mode or something.
