Sorcery! studio Inkle invites you to journey around the world in 80 Days
Inkle, the acclaimed studio behind the short story anthology app Future Voices and the epic Sorcery! and Sorcery! 2 games for iOS, has just released a new title on the App Store.
Simply called 80 Days, Inkle's latest offering is a steampunk-inspired strategy game adaptation of Jules Verne's “Around the World in Eighty Days”:
1872, with a steampunk twist. Phileas Fogg has wagered he can circumnavigate the world in just eighty days. Choose your own route around a 3D globe, travelling by airship, submarine, mechanical camel, steam-train and more, racing other players and a clock that never stops. 150 cities to explore. Detailed research and techno-fantasy combine in an 1872 of tensions, inventions and exploration. Climb the Burmese mountains, trek the Zulu Federation, sail up the Amazon and disappear under the Indian Ocean - but don't fall behind the time!
In 80 Days, you assume the role of Fogg's valet, Passepartout, and play to win by balancing your master's health, your finances, and your time as you take part in a race around the world against other players. Bear in mind that you're playing a game of choice and consequence, where every decision you make is of the essence.
