Indie developer inkle is announcing that their upcoming narrative game 80 Days (http://www.inklestudios.com/80days) will release for iPhone and iPad on July 24. That's next week!
80 Days takes you on a real-time race around the world set in a reimagined steampunk version of the Victorian era. With a massive script of around 500,000 words and more than 10,000 choices to make, every player is guaranteed to experience their own unique story during each round-the-world voyage.
Besides giving players the ability to choose their path -- which of 150 cities to visit, how to get there, which subplots to pursue, etc. -- 80 Days also has a live feed that shows all players' progress in real time. This lets you see what path others are taking, get ideas for your own journey, and compete for the best time around the globe.
