A true adventure
This is a true adventure game. You - as a loyal valet - are dragged into a foolhardy wager that your master made, and in the process you will have to travel the world and make sure your master (and yourself) makes it through in one piece within the 80 day limit. You will meet people and get dragged into the strangest situations: some comical, some sombre. You will win some, you will lose some, you will laugh, you will make a fool of yourself. It's all part of the job :) The game is, at its core, a "choose-your-own-adventure" type game with an incredibly simple interface and a simple goal: you have 80 days to go around the world. Achieving this goal is not hard, especially after you understand how the game works, but that isn't really the "point". The true joy is in exploration and just trying different things. After a few play-throughs you will start challenging yourself "what if I go via south america this time?" or "what if I just don't use trains at all?". You will find an assortment of strange and amusing situations. The writing is excellent and the setting is just so great for this: it is steampunk, in an age where everyone is just experimenting with new technology and wacky concepts in transportation. The game is very low pressure and casual. Even if you miss the deadline, you can just continue the trip as normal until you finish. I think it is possible to die, but in like 20 play-throughs I've only ever come REAL close once (and only because I messed up badly). Even running out of money isn't a huge deal (it will delay you a lot, but it isn't game over). You can just leave your trip and come back - the game autosaves. But even when things look bleak, you can still sometimes snatch victory from defeat. The only real downside is that you will eventually start seeing repeated dialogue (a limitation of the medium, of course: since it is all text, eventually you will get repetition). But that is a small issue. I highly recommend this game.
