inkle's 80 Days & Overboard! now available for Nintendo Switch™ at Amazon and other retailers

Travel around the world and get away with murder in two award-winning narrative adventures bundled together in a boxed edition

 

Stuttgart, Germany - 28 October 2022: ININ Games is proud to announce the release of narrative game studio inkle's two most-beloved titles, 80 Days and Overboard!, in one bundled boxed edition for Nintendo Switch™.

Both games are award-winning narrative adventures. In 80 Days, a steampunk reimagining of Jules Verne, players assume the role of Phileas Fogg's valet, Passepartout, on a round-the-world journey with a hefty wager at stake. Meanwhile, the "reverse whodunnit" Overboard! takes place at the end of a journey, giving you just eight hours to find a way off a cruise ship after committing murder!

ININ Games is happy to honor these next-generation interactive adventures with a well-deserved boxed edition for Nintendo Switch, now available at Amazon and other retailers worldwide (a retailer list can be found at iningames.com). In addition, a Special Limited Edition is available for pre-order at Games Rocket and will start shipping in early November. The Limited Edition includes both games on one Nintendo Switch™ cartridge, as well as exclusive goodies from the two adventures:

  • Collector's edition box and full-color game manual
  • Complete 80 Days and Overboard! soundtrack on CD, featuring original music by composer Lawrence Chapman
  • Reversible double-sided A3 poster and a set of four postcards featuring key art from both games
  • Two 80 Days souvenirs: Phileas Fogg's comb and a European train timetable

Two Overboard! souvenirs: A ticket for the ill-fated voyage on the SS Hook and a set of playing cards pilfered from the ship's lounge
