80 Days

80 Days is an interactive novel/fiction game released by Inkle. The game is based on Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in Eighty Days.

80 Days was released for iOS platform on July 31, 2014, and Android on December 16, 2014. The game is set in the year of 1872 and players must travel around the world in 80 days. Why? Because Phileas Fogg has a big mouth and last night, he bet a fortune on being able to do so.

The gameplay involves the players as the loyal valet, planning routes, managing your inventory, and making decisions as the story plays out, all while Fogg gripes and drinks, the lazy swine.

The game has a rating of 89/100 on Metacritic. Phil Cameron of The Daily Telegraph described it as “one of the finest examples of branching narrative yet created”.

It was named as TIME’s 2014 Game of the Year. Despite being a game, The Telegraph newspaper also named it as “one of the best novels of 2014”. The lead writer, Meg Jayanth, won a UK Writer’s Guild award for her work on the project.

The game received four BAFTA nominations in 2015, for Best British Game, Best Story, Best Mobile Game and Game Innovation, as well as three IGF nominations in 2014, for Excellence in Design, Excellence in Narrative and in the Grand Prize category.
