Evaluation

80 Days launched on Steam on September 28, 2015 and received active post-launch support in its early years, including a content patch in October 2015 that added new story routes and cities. The developer continued updating the game with UI and performance improvements through 2019. In January 2021, inkle announced they had shut down the cloud servers that powered the live multiplayer ghost feed, noting this was a deliberate wind-down of that service while confirming the game itself remains fully playable. The most significant post-launch development came in December 2021, when inkle released Overboard! — a standalone murder mystery game originally conceived as a free expansion for 80 Days — effectively fulfilling any remaining expansion ambitions for the 80 Days universe in a separate product. Since then, inkle has continued to issue occasional maintenance updates: a Unity engine upgrade and touch screen fix in November 2025, and a native Apple Silicon patch in December 2025. These are compatibility and stability updates, not new content. There is no announced future content for 80 Days, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no developer statement indicating further story or gameplay additions are planned. The game was released as a complete, richly replayable narrative experience and has been in a maintenance-only state for several years. The most recent meaningful content milestone was the December 2021 Overboard! release, which closed the book on planned expansions for this game.

Playing as Phileas Fogg's loyal valet, Passepartout, you must balance your master's health, your finances, and the time, as you choose your own path from city to city all the way around the world. Bribe your way onto early departures, but don't let yourself go bankrupt or you'll be sleeping rough and begging for aid! Trade items for profit, and collect the equipment for the conditions you'll face: but too much luggage will slow you down...

80 DAYS is a breakneck race, with an in-game clock that never stops running. Trains, steamers, hot-air balloons, boats, camels, horses and more leave and arrive minute by minute.

Every city and journey is narrated via an interactive story where you control every action. Will your choices speed you up - or lead you into disaster? Will you earn Fogg's trust and respect? Will you uncover the secrets and short-cuts that can shave days off your time? Murder, romance, rebellion and intrigue await!
