In '39 Days to Mars' you and a friend will go to Mars in the 19th century's most unreliable spaceship

I had to double-check I read the info right for this one! A released date has just recently been announced for the couch co-op adventure 39 Days to Mars [Steam, Official Site].

That's right, it's the 19th century and you've decided to build a spaceship to travel to Mars. Sounds like an amusing experience, but for those of you who don't have someone to play with you're in luck, as the ship's computer-controlled cat is also around to "help" you on your journey.

The release date has been announced for April 25th and Linux is included day-1, so not long to go, check out their recent trailer:

The game will involve a healthy mix of both action and puzzle sequences, with it supposed to be enjoyed in short sessions. The developer says the entire adventure can be played out in a single evening, so good for those of you with little time, but you want something to amuse you.

I look forward to having a cuppa in space.
