A playable tale of a journey
This is a wonderful classic tale with a bit of an additional steampunk-type addition. I completed the journey in 61 days for my best time. This is a good game that is not complicated. Some games may take 40 hours just to get going. This can be played through in about 10. Sometimes being successful is nice.

Feels like a demo
Minimalistic style is an art choice and can be liked or not, but in this case the design is so simplistic and reduced to the bone it lacks any personality. The world map design is bland and navigating is just boring. The static 2d illustrations have a completely different style, black and white with high contrast, which clashes yet again with the face to face portrait dialogues with colored gradients. User interface and basic user experience are completeyl lacking: in the first minute the palyer is presenetd with three different interaction prompts: a dark-blue link with a dark-yellow hover intearaction; quickly followed by a down pointing gray arrow that barely changes intensity on interaction: third and last is round button, already checke out , that needs to be clicked again so it switches to a green background. Basic errors that no prefessional should ever made. Gameplay wise the most common ineraction is reading text, which is too thin and has bad aliasing. Same problem suffered by the only 3d object in the game and even the 2d illustration. No settings to change that. Storywise, the random encounters often start and finish in the span of a few days and its ok, but there is a major accusation point against the traveling protagonist and it gets never addressed, not even when failing the journey and immediately prompting the users to start a new run. Careful planning can be destroyed by rng encounters and can quickly tranform a somwhat passable gaming experience in a waste of time. It feels like a project slapped together by a bunch of high school students at its first year.

Good Made Bad Experience
The game's build is great, fine music and graphics with small size. The overall playing is no problem. But the biggist issue is there is no choise to make routing by player, the player must try to fullfil the SYSTEM's plan, and the rail locked and not reversable after the map obtained and line revealed. Very unhappy game. Frustrating design mistake!

Wonderful adventure
This is brilliant adaptation of Jules Verne classic that gives great feeling of adventure to anyone willing to read a bit of (very skillfully written) text. Essentially you travel from city to city, where you can buy things and sell them later, find out about various routes (these are not known at all and need to be discovered along the way) and plan your next leg. Along the way there are many conversations written in style that mimics Verne's very well. These can give you new items, new routes or slow you down and lead astray. Everything flows rather natural and I didn't find it repetitive at all. The only little gripe I have is that game takes place in steampunk alternative history, so at times it feels too unrealistic and over the top. If you can live with it, I highly recommend this game.

Easily overlooked!
I love this game, and only found out about it recently from a game blog. I've always liked interactive fiction going back to Zork 1 and choose your own adventure books. I recommend this game to everyone. However, as you play you may decide, as I did, that Fogg is pretty much just ballast. If there was an option to throw him from a ship, I'd choose it in a heartbeat.
