Five years since 80 Days was released on Steam we've turned off the ageing cloud servers. You will no longer be able to see other players' progress as you make yours but the game is still fully functional in all other ways.

Changes since 1.17.7:

• Bug Fix: accented characters not displayed correctly (introduced in 1.17)
  
• Disable attempted download of cloud ghosts and incidents (as the servers are no longer running) and tidy up related UI
  

Changes since 1.17.6:

• Upgraded 80 Days to a more recent patch release of Unity
  
• Fixed the '(opens at 10am)' bug in city view
