An incredible work of art.
If you are one who is bored of the same garbage the App Store keeps churning out, demanding IAPs and really adding nothing new to the table, look no further than 80 Days. For one, its original. There are choose-your-own adventure games out there already, such as A Dark Room, but this one achieves something more. It feels like a game, while also being an engrossing, emotional story of two people simply trying to go around the world. Along the way, you are met with certain choices that affect the rest of the playthrough. All the while, you have RPG elements such as money, inventory, and trading that give it a video game feel. Even if you are not one for reading, and it is text heavy, you will forget all about that and become immersed in the decisions of these two brave adventurers. Tens of hours of gameplay are offered here. Ive played through twice (I circumnavigated the world in 79 days on my 2nd try) and cannot wait to play it through again. I see myself playing through at least 5 times to maybe see all the game has to offer, but I dont know if even that will suffice. Thats 15 hours of gameplay (or more) for $5. Im very stingy yet still extremely satisfied with my purchase. Thank you for this amazing game, Inkle.
Update: Ive now played through the game 6 times (my record is 64 days) and am still amazed by this game. Ive put in at least 20 hours so far. Thank you Inkle for the update that added many more cities and much more text. 6/5 stars.
