It’s the sense of humour that It’s Anecdotal, the one man studio, are going for. It hits more than it misses as well, I certainly chuckled a few times. It’s also the absurd tied into this, and the stereotypical British perseverance through any trials. Who else would think to fix a landing ship with a rusty bed screw, a rock, an old leather boot and a ball of gunk?

More than a good sense of humour, 39 Days to Mars doesn’t outstay its welcome with incomprehensible puzzles either. That’s what it is, first and foremost, a puzzle game. Only this is a puzzle game for two people. Much like Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, it is designed for co-op couch play. In an ideal situation you’ll have a person you can unchain from your dungeon for the purposes of controlling the second character. Unfortunately, I didn’t.
