Managing the money, luggage, time and Fogg’s mood all add up to a unique and engrossing game that captured my imagination. Managing the money comes into play also, as you start out with approx £3000 but as you travel and stay in hotels and choose various means to get to other cities, this fund will quickly deplete. During my playthrough I didn’t pay attention to the time when I was wandering the city late at night, leaving Fogg and myself without a hotel for the night. Travel aboard the luxurious Orient Express in a comfortable cabin and Fogg will likely be pleased, however, travel on a rickety old car and he’s likely to be less so. Managing Fogg’s mood plays a part and how and when you travel can play a big part in this. A vintage bottle of wine from Paris can fetch a huge sum of money in another city, jewellery and scents can be used to butter up other characters you meet in the game to reveal key pieces of information. There are some interesting and unique game mechanics in 80 days such as bringing the right amount of luggage, managing relationships with your master and trading. The objective of the game is simple – get around the world in 80 days on time ad within your budget. There are over 200 cities full of stories, side quests and interesting characters to meet. From there the game opens up and you can go all over the world, ultimately trying to get back to where you started in London. We start the game in London in 1872 and soon we’re off to Paris. The player takes on the character of Passepartout, Phileas Fogg’s assistant on this grand outing of global scale. Phileas Fogg and Jean Passepartout start off in London, where Fogg has made a wager saying he can get around the world in 80 days… so the race is on.
