Let's start by saying I'm a huge fan of Jules Verne books (and actually Jules Verne itself) and this game grasps the very essence of "Le tour du monde en 80 jours". Everything in there it's like it was in the book, just different every time you attempt the travel. There's almost the same suspense when something unforeseen happens and you have to get out of some nasty situation while still looking for your 80 days goal. The narration is faster than a book but also kinda slow for a video-game, which I guess was the best compromise. Something I didn't like was that most of the graphics in the PC port where upscaled from the iOS version and playing at higher resolution looked kinda bad and that there was no linux port of this game even if it was made in Unity3D with very little graphic elements. With proper high-res graphics and a Linux port this game would have got a 9.

It’s a visual novel mixed with role-playing mixed with Rogue-like meaning each trip will be quite different from the next. It's also all set in a Steampunk re-imagining of Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days (meaning even avid fans of the original novel will have something new to experience here).

I was never a fan of the Verne's books and Around the World in 80 days is no exception, but i still enjoyed this game a lot. My best playthrough happened when i tried to cheat and just walked around the North Pole, it is great that game actually allows you to do so.
