80 Days ($4.99) was a game we particularly dug, and has even gotten one Game of the Year award from an unexpected source, and was one of Apple’s best games of the year. Well, the globetrotting gamebook-inspired game from Inkle has just been updated with new content, featuring a new Arctic route that has opened up. This means that on your journey around the globe, you can now visit the northern reaches of Earth. The game is particularly dialogue- and story-driven, and this update skimps on neither, adding 30,000 new words of story to experience.
The update is rolling out now on the App Store. Inkle know their gamebooks, having produced the iOS ports of Sorcery ($4.99) along with this particularly expansive affair. This is a rather nifty game, and while it’s gamebook-inspired and very dialogue-heavy, it’s worth checking out as it’s got elements of roguelikes with its randomization through each session, resource management, and strategy. It’s also a gorgeous game. Even if it’s outside your comfort zone, it’s worth a look.
Awesome news!!!!
April 1st already?
Lol
WTF?!?
Good joke, now give us the 2nd Episode for Tales From The Borderlands.
This,
Telltale are a bunch of busy bees.
Weird?
This was... Unexpected... And I am still not sure what I think about it...
I...what? I don't even...
Wut
These games seem like opposites- what the heck could they have planned??
I can already see it now... you will have the choice of either punching an oak tree or a birch tree, and Creeper will remember that.
Or weather or not you will build a giant wang in world will have dire consequences, riveting stuff
Wat
I'm intrigued.
Just nope. Nothing for me.
DAFUQ
I love Telltale and I love Minecraft, but combining the two just seems maniacal. Curious to see how this pans out.
I love telltale, I love minecraft but I do not love Microsoft. When is that hammer gonna come down? Anytime now... The dust is starting to settle... That hammer is coming boys
I'm actually very interested to see why this is like.
Hmm. Can I get Minecraft, Arrow mode? As in putting me in control of Oliver Queen and dropping me on the island Lian Yu?
Can you compromise and settle for China?
Sounds a lot like Cube World to me.
Sweet! Can't wait to see what story they will come up with.
So excited!!!
I can't wait to see how they get creative with this.
How do you make a story based game out of a game with no story to tell? Sounds like a reach by Telltale.
They made a movie out of Lego, one of the most open-ended products in existence... I can't wait to see this!
Minecraft is pretty much like Legos if you think about it lol. A Lego game that allows creation of worlds using software replicas of all the kits they have ever released would be awesome! Of course people might not care cause they got minecraft!
Telltale made a movie? 😉
I have an idea, Minecraft already has a story, but it was small. While the credits roll there are gods or whatever that talk about the player and what they have done. Maybe they could add onto that? Who knows?
All I know is my boy will be all over this
They could do some clever shite with this, like you control the story with whatever you collect, and the story changes on what you create? Like you hear a creeper round the bush, and as you have mined some iron and wood, you can create a sword?! Or your lost in the woods on a rainy night but you have mined some iron and wood and you create a sword? Or... Your starving lost and injured, but, you have some iron and wood and you can create a sword?! I dunno... U get the picture?? Something like that....
They're doing what now?!
Game of thrones meets minecraft? How could that not be awesome
So whats next? Tales from the candy crush? The flappy Bird among us? The walking Dead Triggers?
Haha lol
They are making a story in the minecraft style the GRAPHIC Guys huh lol
This will take them I think a hundred episode anyone can make a story out of Minecraft.
Sounds good to me.
They put sh%tty Rpg elements into minecraft first,an idiotic attempt to turn a PURE SANDBOX GAME THAT INVOLVES A LOT OF CREATIVITY into an adventure rpg.Now they make this?
This sounds great. And it's something my son and I can share. I can't wait.
