- Have you played Overboard? - 18 December 2021
Conceived of as a free expansion for 80 Days, Overboard! is a murder mystery with a difference. ... you're the one whodunnit. That's not a spoiler - you find out as much in the first thirty seconds of the game as your character, failed actress Veronica Villensey, pushes her tiresome husband into the sea while on a crossing to New York. Only one problem: there's an amateur sleuth aboard. You now have - not 80 days, but rather eight hours to get away with murder. Can you lie, cheat, steal, bribe, murder, seduce, manipulate, stealth, blackmail and charm your way to freedom? One of Polygon and the New Yorker's game of the year; nominated for a Writer's Guild award and a Golden Joystick - have you gotten away with murder?
- Meet Meghna Jayanth in Episode 2 of The New Eurogamer Podcast - 1 November 2021
Even when she was writing Harry Potter fanfiction as a child - something I'm sure she won't thank me for sharing - she was doing something she still does now: questioning the world around her and challenging the parts of she doesn't like. It's a mindset that would propel her to fame when collaborating on Inkle's celebrated narrative adventure 80 Days, as she unpicked the famous Jules Verne novel and the backwards colonial attitudes in it. Since then, she's only gone from strength to strength, working on renowned projects such as Sunless Sea, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Boyfriend Dungeon and, more recently, open-world adventure Sable (when we talked, it had only been out a day). She is Meghna Jayanth, a leading voice in video game writing and narrative design, and this, in roughly an hour, is her life. This is Episode 2 of The New Eurogamer Podcast, which you can find in all the places you get a…
- How the studio behind 80 Days made one of the best games of 2021 in just 3 months - 24 June 2021
Overboard is a devilishly clever reverse murder mystery designed by Inkle, the studio behind 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, and other top-tier narrative games. In 1935, aboard a ship making its way from England to New York, Veronica Villensey murders her husband—and it's your job to help her get away with it by spinning a complex web of lies. It's one of the most unique narrative games I've played on PC, and one of our favourite games of the year so far... Read more.
- 80 Days 1.17.8 Update - 15 January 2021
Five years since 80 Days was released on Steam we've turned off the ageing cloud servers. You will no longer be able to see other players' progress as you make yours but the game is still fully functional in all other ways. Changes since 1.17.7: Bug Fix: accented characters not displayed correctly (introduced in 1.17) Disable attempted download of cloud ghosts and incidents (as the servers are no longer running) and tidy up related UI

Changes since 1.17.6: Upgraded 80 Days to a more recent patch release of Unity Fixed the '(opens at 10am)' bug in city view
- New Game Coming Soon! - 24 April 2020
The year is AD 673. Camelot has fallen. Sir Mordred is due to meet Arthur on the fields of Camlann, and Arthur will surely die. Who can keep the dream of Camelot alive? Pendragon is our next step forward in the world of highly-interactive narrative. An epic Arthurian adventure, Pendragon is a strategy board-game that writes its narrative turn-by-turn around your actions you take. Will you step forward courageously, or cautiously retreat? Will you sacrifice one knight to save another? Will you flee, or triumph? Every move you and the enemy makes driven the narrative forward, one instant at a time - and what happens in the narrative unlocks new possibilities in the gameplay. No two games of Pendragon are ever the same, and with a huge cast of characters to find and unlock, each with their own stories to tell, we think it's shaping up to be something really special. You can check out the t…
- Heaven's Vault studio Inkle drops a strange message to tease its next project - 6 January 2020
Inkle, the interactive narrative studio whose previous games include Sorcery! , 80 Days , and Heaven's Vault , is teasing its next project—in a very distinctly Inkle-like fashion. Were it not for the fact that Electronic Arts has an exclusive licensing deal with Disney I'd say with solid confidence that Inkle is making a Star Wars game, but since that's off the table, perhaps something Arthurian is in the pipe? The legend of the Round Table fits the words in the list, broadly speaking, and would also be a good match for Inkle's style of illustrated storytelling. Or it could point to a retelling of the legend of Robin Hood: The absence of "bow" is conspicuous, but its inclusion may have been a little too much of a giveaway. It could also be "Sabufhr," although that's not actually a word. Inkle said on Twitter that it's the name of a small jellyfish ,…

- The PC Gamer Top 100 - 31 August 2018
For a constantly updated list of our favorite games on PC, check out our list of the best PC games right now .   Every year, the PC Gamer team embarks on an epic quest to choose the top 100 PC games. Where previously we voted for our favourite games, this year we talked: discussing each of our nominations and deciding which games should make the list. The result is a more honest, considered reflection of our conflicting tastes and opinions as PC gamers. This list represents what we think are the greatest PC games you can play today. We wanted to celebrate the breadth and variety of PC gaming, and so, for the most part, have restricted ourselves to one game per series. You'll also find a selection of personal picks: games we individually love that didn't quite make the cut. Enjoy! If you're looking for a list of the games that helped shape PC gaming as we know it, try…

- Have You Played 80 Days? - 5 September 2017
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. 80 Days is a great travel game. I don t mean it s a good game about a journey (although it is that). I mean it s excellent to play while on a journey of your own. On a plane, ferry, train, rickety bus. Observant folks might point out the absurdity of absorbing yourself in a tiny screen and its navy facsimile of wanderlust while the real world and its sights pass you by. Well played, observant people. But sometimes you look out the porthole and it s just 100% precipitation. What then? Read a book? Nah, go to Siberia on a steampunk blimp. (more…)
- The 23 best bite-size games for busy lives - 5 May 2017
I am dad, hear me whinge. Too many games, not enough spare time, for all my non-work hours are spent kissing grazed knees, explaining why you cannot eat the food in that cupboard , constructing awful Lion King dioramas out of toilet roll tubes and being terrified that the next jump from the sofa to the armchair will go fatally wrong. I’m lucky in that my job to some extent involves playing games, so by and large if there’s something I really want to check out I can find a way to, but I appreciate that there are many long-time, older or otherwise time-starved readers for whom RPS is a daily tease of wondrous things they cannot play. Now, clearly I cannot magically truncate The Witcher 3 into three hours for you, but what I can do is suggest a few games from across the length and breadth of recent PC gaming that can either be completed within a few hours or dipped into now and…
- Inkle s Heaven s Vault: a stunning sci-fi archaeology adventure - 7 March 2017
With 80 Days and Sorcery , Inkle have made some of our favourite games of recent years , but Heaven’s Vault might just be their greatest achievement yet. It’s early days, of course, but a half hour play session at GDC has already convinced me that this science fiction adventure is a very exciting thing indeed. It’s a game about exploring the past, in the future, through archaeology and translation, and it has a remarkable sense of wonder. …
