Looks cool but I still hope for a classic release today.

^ This.
I watched a livestream about it and it seemed fun (but also quite unforgiving).

TIME Magazine's Game of 2014 and winner of the IGF award for narrative? Incredible!

Hopefully paving the way for more visual novels and gamebook-style games on GOG, especially since Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf and the like are experiencing a kind of digital revival these days.

This looks very interesting :)

I agree. While 80 Days does not appeal to me it would be nice to see better gamebook style games like <span class="bold">The Forest of Doom</span> on GOG.

And it would also be cool to have some more Visual Novels here.
Besides a lot of crap there are some really good ones like <span class="bold">Loren The Amazon Princess</span> or <span class="bold">Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~</span>. Though GOG did reject Loren The Amazon Princess IIRC.

I need to check my tablet... I am pretty sure I have this (haven't played yet). Looks fun to me. (I'd also like Tin Man games on GOG)

do want!

i hope those new ports of the books on computer come to gog/go drm free.

them being trapped by steam makes me sad.
also:

oh, indies. i love you guys, and i would totally give you money, but...

...if you decided that your game was worth $4.99 on ipad and you're charging $9.99 on pc...

...i'll wait for the price to drop to $4.99. sorry :(

It's really a must have, winner of a ton of awards, IF reborn, etc, etc. Not even remotely niche.

Well, how could any self respecting gamer pass up the chance to travel around the world in 80 days.

Not meaning any offense to people who arn't interested.

Interesting concept, but I think I'll pass.

I like my indie titles to be of the platforming variety.

EDIT

Redacted for stupidity reasons and total lack of respect on my part for Matruchus -- for which I sincerely apologize.

Still, please try to understand that all the whining and complaining every. single. time. GOG releases an indie or adventure game is starting to get really old and annoying. I did the same thing on the "highly acclaimed" SSI D&D release thread just because I'm really tired of this patronizing and senseless complaining, and felt like... "returning the favour" by complaining in a release thread of games that some people wanted but I didn't. Was that fair? Most certainly not, I was just being a party pooper and got downvoted to hell and back for it.

If you're not interested in this or that kind of game, that's totally fine, but, please, understand the world doesn't revolve around you and a whole lot more people might be interested in the games. So what if adventure games are "Gog's main genre"? Adventure games are great, I'm glad they're "Gog's main genre" (which they aren't, it's just a broader genre than your elitist snob CRPGs and/or strategy titles, hence why there are more "adventure" titles than any others), if you don't want to buy or play them, don't, there's just no need to come into every single thread and complain that you don't want the game. Fine. Don't buy it. Don't play it.

I would go as far as to say that the GOG Forum community is hardly representative of the entirety of the GOG customers, I believe a lot of GOG users never even use the forums, and those speak up as well: by buying the games they want to play, not complaining about the ones they don't want to play.

For the record: GOG doesn't even list the game as an adventure game, they say it's a strategy title, so, please, save your sarcasm and patronizing, please. If it was me having that attitude on a CRPG or strategy game release thread, my post would have been labeled as low rated already, so don't come in here trying to be all ironic and claiming adventure games are "Gog's main genre", because at least adventure fans don't go around downvoting every whiney post we see in the adventure games' release threads. Perhaps because we would have a lot of trouble keeping up with all of that.

Happy gaming playing Hegemony.

YEAH!
Please more adventure-books, GOG. ( ... as long as they are NOT in manga style. Sorry guys.)

I like 80 Days on my Android tablet and will like it even more on the big PC monitor - especially as the game got more contend.
