39 Days to Mars

39 Days to Mars is an innovative co-operative and single-player steampunk puzzle-adventure game. Players take on the roles of Sir Albert Wickes and The Right Honourable Clarence Baxter, intrepid 19th-century explorers at the helm of the HMS Fearful, setting out on its maiden voyage to Mars. However, the journey is fraught with challenges: from a coal shortage in the steam engine to the ship's cat mischief that leaves the navigation chart in tatters. Without teamwork, the adventure becomes an uphill battle.

This game is designed for local co-op play, where two players must collaborate to solve problems and navigate the array of obstacles they face. Each character has unique roles that are crucial for progression, enhancing the cooperative experience. For those preferring to play solo, the ship’s AI-controlled cat provides companionship, ensuring that players can still enjoy the journey with dexterity and strategy.

With bite-sized adventures perfect for quick gaming sessions, the entire journey can be completed in a single evening or during a leisurely tea break. The game’s charming illustrated art style, atmospheric soundscapes, and soothing piano score immerse players in Albert and Baxter's world, making every discovery a delightful experience.
