I played all five of the Blackwell games in quick succession, which in hindsight, may have been a mistake. I had withdrawals for wanting something similar! This series is epic as far as story goes and I am not ashamed to say that I was truly sobbing by the end of the game. Having become so invested in these characters throughout the series it was so hard to say goodbye and though the ending left me with MANY questions, i do understand why it finished the way it did. Play the series and be forewarned you will be tissues for the finale!
As a book nerd I was familiar with Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in 80 Days", but hesitant about the game. The premise in itself is simple. Your master has made a bet and now you must help him keep it. Decisions on which path to take can affect health and the information you can find about potential travel paths. So far, on the two attempts I have made, I managed to beat the time of 80 days. There are still so many different choices to make that I can't wait to go back and replay it again. Even losing this game would be interesting if only what it means for the paths you will have traveled. Sometimes winning the game is overrated.
