As a student of Jules Verne's works I was initially skeptical, and hesitant, to be overly excited about this game before I even tried it. I purchased it as soon as I had heard about it, but it sat in my library, me waiting for the right time to play it. I thought maybe it would only take a few minutes of my time to decide whether or not it was worthy of keeping.

So finally I gave it a shot. And it happened. It captured me. I suddenly realized that already several hours had passed and I needed to go to bed. But it got me. I was on a mission to complete my first game.

I had played through entirely, without so much as a small break, for about 10 straight hours* (see below). I was so enthralled that it captured my imagination as the book did so many years ago.

...except with a twist...

Those of us that remember the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series of books from the 80's would definitely get a kick out of this. A CYOA version of 80 Days Around the World! How cool (and kinda geeky) is that?

Now if only the developer would make other adventure games similar to this, based on other inspiring adventure novels from the past...... That would be awesome!!! Continuing with the other works of JV course. ;)

*Steam Note: I KNOW I played for at least 10 hours, from 8pm to 6am to be exact, but it says I only have 5.0 on record. Strange bug.
