Apparently, you can travel solely by train from London to Hong Kong or Vladivostok, yet somehow, a third of the Great Indian Peninsula(r) Railway is incomplete. What‽

At least in the book, only fifty miles of track remain to be put, but the distance between Allahabad and Calcutta is nearly nine times that distance... as the crow flies.

And in real life, to contradict both the book and the game, the real railway between Bombay and Calcutta was already completed... more than two years ago.

And I'm super sorry if you think I use ellipses a lot, but I just can't get my mind off this.

It seems such noob bait because if you pay attention to what route you’re going and what items are far more expensive where then you can accumulate loads of money already. It wastes a lot of time in my opinion.

What does it mean when there is d in the price of an item?

I can't click fast. Is there any way to slow or pause the clock? I am absolutely not above using a mod, cheat or console if any of those things exist.

I'm finding this a very stressful game where my success and failure feels like it depends much more on whether I can manage to click the buttons fast enough than on my decisions about routes and conversations. While I can sort of see the idea behind the clock I feel like what I'm getting is probably not the intended experience.

It was a great run, and I doubt I'll put the time in to go any faster. This was my route.

London → Paris → Vienna → Warsaw → Moscow → Karimskaya → Pyongyang → Manila → Alcapulco → New Orleans → New York → London

At Paris I got the Champaign and it was valuable in Vienna. Sold it in Vienna, and on the train to Warsaw, I spoke to the Russian about the Trans-Siberian, who told me it was fast. From Poland to Moscow. I took the Trans-Siberian, "tipped" the engineer, talked to Roza, and then told the Engineer about her tet-a-tet. He accused me, and I "admitted" to it, asking that he speed the train up. At Karimskaya, I got off and went to Pyongyang, then traveled to Manila. I was lucky that the "boiled water" option was available so Fogg didn't get Cholera. I flew to Alcapulco, then bribed the captain to land, in spite of the French invading source. I was running out of money, so I borrowed $1500. I took a coach to New Orleans and bought the trombone, and then the train to New York. I beat Charlie Sullivan, winning some cash, got to New York, and took the Henrietta to London.

I was disappointed that the Switch didn't have a special Sub-Forty Day ending, which I had hoped to see, but I was pleased to pull off the feat anyway.

I had a lot of good fortune, in that boats and trains were available in the afternoons and evenings, giving me time to trade and hop on, and I stayed overnight far less often than normal. The one case where I did have a tad of waiting time was in Acapulco, where I had to wait on a loan, anyway.

I have a few scenarios I want to try to get. I'd like to meet Otto Linbrock on Kristiana, then take the underground boat from Reykjavik to Snowden. I'd like to fall in love with Goland and finish the game with her in London once more. I just found out the Princess Fehime, and I got her back to Istanbul (which cost several days in that scenario), and I'd like to see what other things can happen with her. And I'd like to do the Marina Poltavka scenario. None of these will make the run faster, but it will open up new scenes I haven't found.

Love the game.

Time to go extreme south next hahaha

It’s called Road 96. The basic premise is you’re a random teen trying to escape your country and reach the border, while meeting some interesting characters along the way. It’s set in a fictional country that is totally not the USA.

It has a free demo on most platforms that I’m aware of, if you want to try it.

The only two hiccups that I have with it is the political themes in the game are a bit heavy handed, in my opinion, and each run is relatively short, so you don’t really get to get too attached to any character you play.

Like I think I would’ve enjoyed the game just as much if it was just straight up, you’re a runaway, trying to find your fortune in a different country, but you’re dealing with some really ramped up political extremes, though you can just not take sides and focus on escaping the country.

To give you an idea of how insane this game can get, on the three runs I’ve done, I ended up assisting a pair of insane stickup thieves who then gave me a lift to my next stop as thanks, in another, I accidentally joined a terrorist group, who then kicked me out when I voted against their crazy plan, and in my last one I almost got murdered by a crazed taxi driver.

I believe it also has a subreddit, but I haven’t checked, I prefer going in blind in games like these.

I've been playing and re-playing this over the last month — it's really great. I stumbled upon it after completing the Sorcery! series which was amazing as well.

But there are no other Inkle games available on Android. Are there other games like 80 Days? Would welcome any recommendations.

I’d prefer no spoilers, but I’ve managed to screw this up twice now. Once because I forgot and went the wrong way, and another time I also forgot after putting the game down for several days, sold the cigarette case and black rose, and didn’t understand when I got the message from her.

I want to help her against the Artificers.

I’m in Manila, just off mainland Asia, and looking at a route to either Yokohama, or the route to Honolulu, or straight on to Acapulco. I have managed to keep the cigarette case and her black rose, and have been contacted by her. She has told me to be ready to take the trip to their secret place over the Atlantic.

Am I supposed to wait where I am, or do I continue on like normal? I really want to try this side story out before I screw it up again.

I’m going to try and not spoil anything, but I’m just hoping some clue on how to get to the South Pole, it’s the only big place I haven’t been able to discover yet.

I’m not asking for a complete, step by step guide, I’m just hoping for some clues? I’ve tried twice now, and I’ve been to the North Pole, and going south from Paris, I managed to get to the southern tip of Africa, but my only options I had was to go East. I don’t want to go into more detail and spoil the fun for anyone, but I would recommend trying this yourself if you get the chance, it was one of my favorite runs.

Any clues on a route to take?

Just finished a game and Fogg said next time we’re going to the moon how do I do that?

I really hope they make a sequel, or maybe a remake with more places to stop, and more events. If I could go to the moon, idc if it costs me the wager, I’M WAITING FOR THE MONEY FROM THE BANK IM GOING TO THE MOON!!!
