Local Co-op
Join Sir Albert Wickes and The Right Honourable Clarence Baxter for an exciting 19th century adventure! 39 Days to Mars is a 1-2 player co-operative adventure game set in an alternate reality some 150 years in the past. You’re tasked with piloting the HMS Fearful — a masterpiece of unreliable engineering — on its maiden voyage to Mars.
Single Player AI
When playing as a solo voyager, the ship’s computer-controlled cat will keep you company. But when the tea gets cold, it becomes clear that interstellar transportation isn’t a walk in the park at all.
For instance, when the steam engine runs out of coal, the ship’s cat shreds the navigation chart. Therefore, without a second pair of hands, Albert will need an extra dose of dexterity to navigate the challenges of Victorian space flight.
Steampunk Puzzle-Adventure
Work together on the problems that arise to keep the two explorers alive and prevent their ship from falling apart around them. This task will ultimately take the talents of two working together on a mix of puzzles and action sequences to get to Mars in one piece (let alone in 39 days).
39 Days to Mars is also out now on Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac, and Linux platforms. As an additional treat for the console edition, they included the Victorian Adventures content update released on PC in 2018.
The HMS Fearful is ready to embark for Mars!
