Around the World in Eighty Days

London, 1872. Phileas Fogg reads that the last gap in the world's railways has closed, and stakes twenty thousand pounds that he can circle the globe in eighty days. A parser text adventure across twenty locations in five regions, following Verne's route eastward from the Reform Club through Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, the Nebraska plains and New York, and home across the Atlantic. Fifty-six objects, eight characters, nine quests, and a day clock that spends exactly the eighty days Fogg recorded in his memorandum. Detective Fix follows the whole way with a warrant that has not yet arrived, a servant vanishes into an opium den, a typhoon rises in the China Sea, and at the last a ship is bought outright so that it can be burned for fuel. The finish is not decided by arithmetic alone.
