Plot
39 Days to Mars takes us on a journey to the alternative steampunk version of the 19th century, the year 1876 to be precise. The main characters of the game are Sir Albert Wickes and Clarence Baxter, inventors, who on board HMS Fearful, a steam spacecraft, make a virgin journey to Mars. However, things don't go their way, which means that they have to face various problems during the interplanetary expedition.
Mechanics
In 39 Days to Mars the action is shown from the side. In the course of the game we take control of the heroes, who have to cope with subsequent challenges. The ship's components break down in the least expected moments, the ships' cat tears the map into pieces and the coal ends too quickly; as if that wasn't enough, our characters must find time to brew tasty tea in all this chais. Running on board the HMS Fearful we solve various puzzles (consisting both in manipulating the devices installed on the ship and in more prosaic activities like the aforementioned tea brewing), helping the protagonists to reach their destination.
Game modes
39 Days to Mars is designed for cooperation on split screen. The production also enables us to play solo in Albert's shoes.
Technical aspects
39 Days to Mars features simple, hand-drawn graphics. The gameplay is accompanied by catchy music played on the piano.
