October 16, 1972: Page, Plant and the Indian jam lost to history

It was a slow Monday in October 1972, and the Slip Disc nightclub in Mumbai could hardly be described as “jumping”.

Around 10 people were in the venue, which was the hangout for the city’s nascent rock scene. Slip Disc measured just 30 by 18 feet, with a third of its floor-space taken up by a stage and DJ booth.

That night, three strangers walked in. They were long-haired Westerners who’d just been refused entry into Blow Up, a far more staid nightclub underneath the grand waterfront Taj Mahal Hotel where they were staying.

Madhukar Dhas, aka Madoo, the singer in Indian psychedelic rock band Atomic Forest, was in Slip Disc that evening. “We didn’t recognise them as they walked in,” Dhas, now 72, tells me. “I thought, ‘Who are these guys?’”. But a second glance changed all that. “I thought, ‘Oh shoot. It’s Led Zeppelin.’”

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were the singer and guitarist in arguably the world’s biggest band. The Zeppelin members were en route home from a tour of Japan, which itself was part of a vast global tour to promote Led Zeppelin IV, their career-high album.

That year, the band had already played to hundreds of thousands of delirious fans from Tucson to Tokyo, and here were Page and Plant – along with tour manager Richard Cole – in a broom-cupboard dive-bar in downtown Mumbai. Not only that, but Atomic Forest and a handful of other Indian rock bands had made a career out of playing covers of Zeppelin, Stones and Jethro Tull tracks. These men were living legends. And they were now in their midst.

What happened next must rank as one of the more extraordinary “I was there” moments in rock history. It also yielded one of music’s most tantalising lost bootlegs. The evening had a broader cultural significance too. In the retelling and the myth-making that accompanied that night, the events at Slip Disc played a role in establishing Western rock ’n’ roll music in India.

As soon as Page, Plant and Cole arrived at the venue and sat down, it was clear to everyone who they were. Slip Disc’s owner, a man called Ramzan, sent over bottles of local beer: it had no head and glistened with what Dhas said looked like soap bubbles. The trio drank. “They were getting tipsy,” Dhas remembers, “but there was no entertainment. A band was there but it wasn’t their time to play. So this guy Ramzan comes to me and says, ‘Come on, sing!’”

Then just 22 years old, Dhas froze with nerves, telling the owner that his band wasn’t contracted to sing at Slip Disc. “I said, ‘It’s Robert Plant, I can’t sing in front of him.’ [Ramzan] dug his nails into my ribs and said, ‘Go sing, you bastard.’ He was desperate. So I thought, ‘What the hell.’”

Dhas took to the stage with a band comprising a musician called Willie on guitar and a drummer called Jamal (possibly from the band Velvett Fogg). Some reports suggest that the bassist with local band Human Bondage, a man called Xerxes Gobhai, also played. They’d never rehearsed together. After a brief conflab, the group launched into Honky Tonk Woman by the Stones, Dhas doing his best to channel Mick Jagger’s manic energy as one of the world’s greatest rock vocalists sat within spitting distance.

“Plant was about six feet away,” he says. “Jimmy Page was probably 10 feet away. They were enjoying themselves.” He dared to catch Plant’s eye. “Robert Plant gave me the thumbs-up. I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ It was the highlight of my musical career.”

As Madooo sang, word seeped onto the street about the VIPs in Slip Disc. The venue started to fill up. By the time the Stones cover was over, the crowd had swollen to around 50 people – or full capacity. The audience turned their attention to the Zeppelin men swigging beer. A chant of “Jam, jam, jam!” slowly filled the venue.

To everyone’s surprise, Page and Plant stood and walked to the stage. A frantic few minutes followed, as Cole tried to get the best possible sound from the amps and Page found that one of the guitars had been strung with piano strings. “You could only get what was available,” Dhas says. Ironically, Page and Plant had an aircraft full of the most expensive and cutting-edge musical equipment at the airport, but customs officials were refusing to release it. They tuned up and played.

Precise recollections of the impromptu set-list vary. It was recorded by Slip Disc’s resident DJ, Arul Harris, but the whereabouts of the only tape remain unknown. According to Dhas, Page and Plant started with a bluesy ad-lib about turning up at Blow Up, the club under the Taj, and not being allowed in. They had apparently gone to the club in traditional dress – kurta tops and Kolhapuri chappal shoes – and the doorman had dismissed them as hippies. By the time they arrived at Slip Disc, they had changed into Western clothes.

Plant sang in his distinctive high voice, with his trademark vocal stammer: ‘I was walking down / And the man wouldn’t let me in / The m-m-mmmmaaan…’ Meanwhile, Dhas remembers, the “dumbfounded” rhythm section tried their best to join in. After about ten minutes of the Blow Up jam, the band segued into Whole Lotta Love from 1969’s Led Zeppelin II. The crowd went predictably wild, although Dhas found himself with a job to do.

The microphone that Plant was using was called an Ahuja mic. It was the only type available in India at the time, and it was screwed onto its stand, unlike the handheld ones that Plant was used to yanking away. As the singer tried to untwist the microphone, its connection with the cable loosened, and his voice cut in and out. Dhas dashed forward to hold the cable close to the mic so it made a connection. He recalls: “I was literally six inches from [Plant’s] face when he was screaming ‘Loooooove’. I was deaf for about two hours after that. That high-pitched voice right into my right ear – oh boy.”

Others who were present have recalled the band starting with Rock and Roll and ending with Black Dog, with the Blow Up jam happening in the middle. Either way, Page and Plant played for just under half an hour. As the cheers faded, Plant promised the pair would return the following evening. “We listen to you, you listen to us, we’re all one in this music,” he is reported to have said.

They returned the next day as promised, only to find the world and his wife at Slip Disc, many with cameras. Page and Plant hated it, staying for around 10 minutes only. Dhas says it was a “fiasco”: “When the crowd turned up they became these rock stars again.”

Plant has acknowledged the role that the night played in spawning rock in India:

“Jimmy and I played in a club in Bombay in 1972,” the singer said in 2012. “Somehow or other we ended up in there with loads and loads of illicit substances. Some guy is writing a book about rock in India – and apparently it was born in this club, with Page and I wired out of our faces.” (He also recalled playing the drums, something other accounts don’t mention.)

In 1981, Plant appeared as a guest on New York’s WNEW 102.7FM rock radio station. Dhas was having a martini with his wife when they heard the show, and he decided to ring in. “I kept calling, and my wife said, ‘Forget about it, you’re not going to get through.’ I said, ‘No. Where there’s a will there’s a way’, and I kept on trying.” He eventually got through, telling the receptionist: “I’d like to say a word to Robert Plant. I am a guy from India, and we jammed.’”

The disbelieving receptionist hung up. But Dhas rang back on a different number and suggested they run his story by Plant. They did, and eventually the Led Zeppelin singer came on the line. “He remembered the night with fondness,” Dhas says.

The sheer joy of the Slip Disc jam is still present in Dhas’s retelling. Plant’s voice may have stopped ringing in his ear – but the memory of that Monday night in October on the Mumbai waterfront lives on.

Just thinking about her

I'm watching Around the world with Willy Fogg with my son since he has a project in school about travels and foreign countries. This is a Spanish cartoon from my childhood I remember dearly precisely because how aesthetically pleasant was looking at Romi (the equivalent to Aouda from the novel) and not only that, Romi is a good character, yes, she is shy, complacent and even a bit submissive, but she is hopeful, brave, kind and loyal. Maybe is not the perfect role model for a modern girl, but sometimes you only need to see someone who is, simply, nice.

Yeah this show is ancient and it's also depicting a novel with ancient values, so you have to overlook over it. It's enjoyable in any case.

And sorry, Princess Romi (a princess, of course!) is so cute so cute and has the most pleasing palette 🥹

Doing a rewatch of Winx Club and Around The World With Willy Fogg aka my two childhood shows. They hold up even now in my eyes. I want to see remake of Willy Fogg so bad!!!

As for non-animated shows.... Oh, Cherry Magic (2023)!

Such a good show. I watched the previous adaptation and was worried if I would constantly compare them, but I'm not. It's different and similar enough.

Currently drinking:

Ramsey's Ice Tea Green drink from Biedronka. I love it.

Currently craving:

More songs for my characters playlist. Blorbos need to have their moodboards made from songs!!

So, we have arrived to Paris safe and sound today and we have seen a couple of things already, such as:

We haven't been up there yet, only said hi. I also had to visit the Île de Sant Louis, vecause once I wrote a The Phantom of the Opera fic in which the de Chagny family used to live in a house on the Quai d'Orléans which is in that island. However, I can't remember what number I gave them, but still, walking down that street felt great.

(It could be this house)

And I ran into a really old friend today:

This wasn't the Île de Sant Louis anymore, it was in a small street I walked through totally unplanned, and he was just there. (He is Willy Fogg of 80 Days Around the World, one of my favourite TV shows from my childhood)

We watched the first episode of around the world in 80 days, and man. It's boring! It's boring, however, in the exact way that is compelling to me (well, compelling enough to write a post, though not compelling enough to watch more than the first episode, so take this with a grain of salt, bc perhaps they do address some of these things, but based on the plot summary they do not). Here’s what it is about it: as an adaptation, and even a transformative work, it to some degree needs to have a justification for existence The justification doesn’t need to be anything grand or philosophical -- if, for example, they made the adaptation solely for love of the aesthetics of 19th century transit systems, as long as that love shone through, it would be compelling! At least, certainly, to me. However, while it’s certainly not poorly put together or anything, I can’t say I observed much passion. The story performs a desire to retell and reframe: Passepartout is Black (and his family involved in radical French politics, something revealed and glossed over within the first episode) and Mr. Fix is instead a female journalist (and obviously the love interest, but we’ll get to her in a second) -- but neither of these identities are substantively engaged with. The show clearly wants credit for being an innovative and progressive retelling, but it doesn’t have any interest in engaging with it’s status as a retelling, of having any conversation with the original work, modern culture, the culture of the time, or really anything at all! It really shows its hands regarding the now Abigail Fix, whom they made infinitely more boring than the Mr. Fix in Verne (who wants to arrest Phileas Fogg for an alleged bank robbery and because of that alterantively want to keep him on or get him to British sovereign soil, which creates an interesting dynamic where their goals sometimes align and sometimes don’t) and, and i shit you not, she is the DAUGHTER of the head of the newspaper for which she rights. We’re meant to see her as radical and empowering but she is LITERALLY ivanka trump. She gets funding to accompany Phileas from her father. She decides to write under her mothers name in order to not be affiliated with her father, which we’re supposed to see as liberatory, which it is, for obvious reasons, not. It also plays the hero narrative straight. Phileas Fogg, who is able to immediately depart on an 80 day journey around the world, something already so unrelatable, is framed as someone daring to do the impossible, and meanwhile he’s out here, like. Taking trains. At least Elon Musk has the decency to build a self-made man mythos around himself, implying that when he can buy himself a trip to space it’s deserved. Phileas Fogg is literally an aristocrat who inherited his wealth and nothing is done to suggest otherwise. He has an ancient butler that he relies on well past when he should be retired whose story and personality is already more compelling from the 5 minutes he spends on screen than Phileas Fogg, even though Phileas is played by David Tenant who’s an excellent actor. His decision to go on the journey seems like a whim, and, I don’t know -- is it an escapist fantasy? Are we supposed to imagine ourselves in the shoes of someone who can make such staggering financial decisions willy-nilly? I don’t know. But even more so than the fact that the character doesn’t lend itself to be a hero, the story, at least in modern times, doesn’t lend itself to a hero narrative. Even if he was poor or a self-made man -- he’s travelling by existing transit systems. He’s not a pioneer or inventor, he is literally going on tracks laid by other hands. And this tension in itself would have been a WAY more interesting central conceit. Man thinks he’s going on a hero’s journey only to realize the age of heroes is long over and the future is barreling around the globe faster than he can circumvent it. There’s also an easy-picking answer to “why tell this story now” -- Phileas Fogg embarks on a journey in a world on the edge. The transit system that he uses fundamentally changed the world: many of the things we often take as fact now -- rapid globalization, borders, industrialization the very concept of the modern nation-state -- were shaped by 19th century railways. We, as a 21st century audience, are watching this knowing the outcomes that were only speculative in 1873. Watching it now casts the entire story with a tinge of dramatic irony. Additionally, the background of the pandemic makes the story especially compelling: it presents a world in which a character travels freely, not showing his passport or anything (at least in the first episode) while in our world borders are more present than ever before. This could have been such interesting commentary on borders, colonialism, masculinity, “heroism”, class. It could have been an in-depth look at my personal faves the railways. And yet it did none of that! Instead it added a nepotism girl-boss and the world’s most post-racial Black man and wants us to consider that an interesting modern adaptation. Why.

#watch the next 7 episodes be beautiful and incisive critique on exactly these topic forcing me to eat my words #i doubt it tho lol #stories with inherently fascinating premises that absolutely REFUSE to engage with them are so compelling to me lmao #i'm curious what kind of eyes you had to look with to miss it so hard

Weekend Top Ten #517

Top Ten Favourite BBC Programmes

Ah, the good old BBC. And I’m not just saying that because I work for them every now and again. Really, they are one of the few true British institutions, and a real reason to feel pride in this country and its accomplishments. I bristle at notions of nationalism – why should we celebrate a geographic area we accidentally happened to be born within? – but there are aspects of British life and history that are genuinely world-class (the NHS, William Shakespeare, Scottish swearwords) and the BBC is absolutely up there.

For all my adult life, it seems, the BBC has been under attack from, well, arseholes. There’s no other way to put it; these are bad-faith actors using false arguments to attack the BBC for nefarious reasons. Look, I’m not happy with everything they do; I’m less bothered, in truth, by any right-wing bias in some of their news shows shows, and more by their both-sides what-aboutery which gives us false equivalences between, say, actual trans people and bigots. But the BBC is huge; I don’t expect it all to be about me, or for me. That’s daft. No, on the whole, the BBC is fantastic. From news (and their live reporting is still world-class) to drama, comedy, documentary and science programmes, and their absolutely superlative children’s and education content. And that’s just me talking about their television programmes; they have a vast radio network, websites, and live events. They’ve made films and books and all sorts. Christ, I pay more for my Netflix subscription than my TV licence, and I think we can all agree that Iron Fist was a bit crap.

Anyway, I like the BBC and I wanted to celebrate it, so today we’re looking at my favourite BBC programmes. I’ve tried – to the best of my knowledge – stick to BBC-produced programmes, rather than stuff they bought or imported; hence some of the BBC stalwarts of my youth, from Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles or Around the World with Willy Fogg on CBBC, to the likes of Due South, Lois and Clark, The X-Files, or even Star Trek: The Next Generation. So these are BBC programmes from throughout my life – and a lot of them are more-or-less from my childhood, to be honest – that I’ve loved. Whatever else happens, I’ll always be eternally grateful for these shows existing, and that’s because of the BBC.

Y’know, now I think about it, the majority of “things” – IPs, franchises, stories, whatever you want to call it – were on the BBC. If I break down the big things that really hit me hard, you’ve got Transformers, Garfield, and Ghostbusters on ITV, but stuff like Red Dwarf, X-Files, Turtles, Doctor Who… these were BBC joints. And even then, there’s a strong argument that I loved the Transformers comic, the Garfield strips, and the Ghostbusters movies more than their shows. Yeah, okay, as I got older I gravitated to the edgier Channel 4 (although BBC2 held its own!) but even though I loved Father Ted and Spacedand Friends and whatnot, really I feel like I grew up on the BBC. When I think of British TV, that’s what I think of; the BBC. There’s the BBC and everyone else. And I just feel so grateful for them.

Anyway. My favourite BBC shows. Here ya go.

Doctor Who(1963-current): it’s probably true that I wasn’t a megafan until the 2005 reboot, but I did used to really enjoy Sylvester McCoy’s tenure (I even had the toys!). It was when Russell T. Davies took over that I really fell in love; the combination of fast-paced adventure, wacky sci-fi, and a whole lot of heart. The bonkers, balls-out, meta-fictional craziness that reached its peak in the Steven Moffat years is absolutely my jam. I love it to bits.

Red Dwarf (1988-1999): I think I pretty much fell for Red Dwarf right from the start; I even have vague memories of watching it back in ’88. That golden age – series three through five, I’d say – was incredibly, must-watch, week-by-week viewing. Hilarious, but also frequently really good sci-fi, with some mind-bending concepts.

The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer/Shooting Stars (1993-2011): I’ve cheekily included both these classic Vic and Bob shows, because I couldn’t quite draw a line between them. But their absolutely bonkers, batshit, surreal comedy was – and is – so incredible. I’m not sure I’ve seen anything quite as funny.

Blackadder (1983-1989): a combination of pitch-perfect performance and sublime writing, the various Blackadder series (and truth be told I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the first one) are a phenomenon. They click together like a work of literary genius, as if it was some kind of… cunning plan.

Sherlock (2010-2017):speaking of clockwork scripts… okay, it kind of fell apart a little bit towards the end, but the first couple of series were exemplary, er, examples of fiendishly complex whodunnits executed with precision. A tremendous cast, iconic performances for the ages, really helped seal the deal.

QI (2003-current):it’s not all comedy and drama! Although QI is very funny. But it’s a delightfully clever quiz show that revels in its delightful cleverness. A show that rewards that cleverness, it feels almost like watching a dozen mini documentaries each episode. Plus, yes, very funny, and a tremendous roster of hosts and guests.

Wonders of the Solar System(2010): the BBC is a powerhouse for documentaries and stuff, and this is probably my favourite. Brian Cox is a terrific host to explore complicated topics of physics and geology, rendering the fantastical in simple, straightforward terms. Mind-blowing stuff; educational, sure, but also genuinely wondrous.

The Private Life of Plants (1995):to pick on David Attenborough documentary is a fool’s errand, but I’ve plumped for this one over the more majestic likes of Planet Earth because I fell in love with it as a teen. Using cutting-edge technology to show plants growing and moving, it really opened my eyes to the natural world. But this could have been one of a dozen shows.

Hey Duggee (2014-current): where would we be without Children’s BBC? From the shows I watched as a kid to ones I actually worked on, it’s a monument. Duggee is amazing because, at a time filled with ropey CG, its minimalist aesthetic was gorgeous, but its humour and heart and great tunes were even better. Filled with genuinely funny gags – some for kids, some for parents – as well as bench of great characters as deep as The Simpsons’, it’s probably, on balance, the greatest kids’ show of all time.

The Young Ones (1982-1984): I struggled a little bit with how to fill out this roster, as there are so many shows, and I didn’t want to just pick something I liked as a kid. But the collective works of Rick Mayall and Adrian Edmondson are so great that I had to include this, my entry point, and a delightfully surreal slice of comedy gold. So many highlights – the dancing carrot, the nuke, the bath, Vivian losing his head – but it’s wild to look at it now, these children getting together and making this anarchic comedy. Blew me away as a kid, impresses me even now.

God, so many things I didn’t include. Maid Marian, French and Saunders, The Day Today… Monty Python! The last one I skipped because, really, as iconic as it is, I fell in love with them through their movies and songs first, and I reckon if I went back, I’ve only seen the episodes in dribs and drabs. One of the funniest, cleverest, and most influential groups of all time, but as a BBC programme, it didn’t quite register as much. Maybe I’m splitting hairs. Anyway: the BBC. Good, eh?

A person once stated a thing movies counter hindi dubbed alongside the lines that, Monty Python will be to ‘amusing’ what chartered accountants are to ‘tedious’. Who are we to disagree?

The legend of Monty Python emerged nobly within the dusty corridors of Oxford and Cambridge universities. Every one of the British Python users experienced their comedic commences in revue displays placed on by these universities. They soon rose to the ranks of obligation inside of these societies, “In bewilderment we observed a notice board informing us that we at the moment are officers!” recollects John Cleese.

Owl Stretching Time. A Horse, A Spoon and also a Bucket. The Toad Elevating Moment ended up all names from the managing. But as planning for your series grew to become far more chaotic, the BBC administration began to check with the team like a ‘flying circus’, encouraged via the Red Baron’s World War 1 fighter squadron. The Movies-Counter.Site troupe preferred the audio of it and randomly extra the phrase Monty Python from their expanding list of alternates. Humorous that.

No one knows what took place to them.

Oh wait, 3 new sketches of never ever prior to noticed Python materials were lately identified and performed with the Edinburgh Fringe Competition. The famed sketches were being composed by late Python star Graham Chapman and were being unearthed by a literary executor in L. a..

John Cleese rode a roller coaster of fame during the 1970’s participating in the part of pressured hotelkeeper Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. He continued his fame with films like Privates On Parade and Clockwise, then strike all over the world stardom with a A Fish Called Wanda in 1988. The observe-up movie, Fierce Creatures faulted to gain interest with audiences.

He'll upcoming be viewed playing father to Lucy Liu in Charlie’s Angels: Comprehensive Throttle and because the voice Fiona’s Father in Shrek 2, Fiona is voiced by Charlie’s Angel’s co-star Cameron Diaz.

Michael Palin has also rocketed to fame due to his turn With all the troupe As well as in 1977 he teamed with Terry Jones for making their particular comedy series, Ripping Yarns. Michael also appeared aside John Cleese in A Fish Known as Wanda, then went on to complete a truth show for BBC Television, called Around the globe in eighty Days, where by he tried to actually observe during the footsteps of your Jules Verne literary character, Phileas Fogg, by attempting to travel worldwide while in the allotted time, but without the need of flying – By the way, it’s Jules Verne’s 175th birthday this week. Throughout the Pole to Pole trip, he met up with Python lovers in Greece and ate snake in China while battling to satisfy his deadline.

Eric Idle ongoing his stint in the limelight by teaming with Neil Innes to generate Rutland Weekend Television, a parody of regional broadcasting. He later on appeared in Graham Chapman’s Yellowbeard, Disney’s Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and Splitting Heirs. His new novel titled, “The Highway to Mars” is about two comedians during the twenty second century. Supporters most likely know him nowadays given that the voice of Mr. Vosknocker during the animated movie, South Park: Larger, Lengthier and Uncut.

Terry Jones preserved a variety over and above mere comedy, by producing about historical past, presenting documentaries, penning kids’s textbooks and likely onto direct the 1996 Variation of Wind within the Willows, starring his previous pals – Michael Palin, John Cleese and Eric Idle.

Terry Gilliam lent his abilities to the troupe to be a director and by generating the quite unique animations that grew to become Monty Python’s visual trademark. We shortly followed it together with his aspect film debut, Jabberwocky, starring Michael Palin. Following helming the Considerably loved, Time Bandits, his fame skyrocketed in Hollywood. But his design led to quite a few conflictions while in the biz like an enormous toss down with Universal Studios in excess of his film Brazil and afterwards problems with backers around the extremely highly-priced, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which starred Eric Idle and showcased Robin Williams.

These 6 actors all gave a few of the very best performances in their job in Gilliam’s films.

“We weren’t becoming satirical mainly because it wasn’t the thing that fascinated us,” Terry Jones claims. “Ours was a rather far more summary humor – just being silly seriously. What satire there is, is much more generalized satire.”

Referring to your Lifetime of Brian – “Comedy is about reminding us of the truth of becoming human: all of us Have got a human body and all of us should die, and it is okay,” reckons Eric Idle.

“Monty Python is a wonderful mix of intellect and foolish”, concludes Robin Williams.

80 Days

Developer: inkle Ltd. Cape Guy Ltd Publisher: inkle Ltd Rrp: £6.99 (Steam, Humblebundle) and £7.79 (Gog.com) Released: 29th September 2015 Available on: Steam, Humblebundle and Gog.com Played Using: Mouse and Keyboard The book 'Around the World in Eighty Days' by Jules Verne, has been adapted numerous times. Its a play, a film, a radio show, several different television shows (including one cartoon where Philea's Fogg was renamed Willy Fog and was a lion in a suit and top hat) and now its a video game. How to describe this game? The best I can come up with is that it's part RPG, part choose your own adventure, part visual novel and part simulator. Its a strange mix but it works well. You take on the role of Jean Passeportout, Phileas Fogg's valet. As such its your job to attend to your masters needs, plan and pack for journeys and all manner of other tasks. As the games title (and the original source material) implies you have eighty days to traverse the globe. It isn't a wholly faithful retelling of the classic story due to the interactive nature of video games. The developers have also taken a few liberties with the source material by giving it what they call in the blurb 'a steampunk twist'.

You start with a limited amount of funds and of course time, which you will have to carefully manage. There are ways to get more money such as buying materials in one locale to sell in another or you can visit a bank. However, visiting a bank costs precious time. As you perform tasks such as planning trips, packing cases, shopping or even deciding what to do the time passes in real time, so you really do have eighty days. This isn't always the case though, staying in hotels, travelling and a few other activities are sped up and conversations or exploring the city have the time stopped (although exploring costs a certain amount of time regardless of what you do).

You discover more routes by conversing with people on your journey and through events that occur while exploring the cities you visit. Conversations also give information that can help you, like where to sell certain things at a good rate. As you play your stats (which are hidden from you) will change based upon the choices you make and you'll be making a hell of a lot of them. Your masters health is also tied into these stats and needs to be maintained. It's up to you to making sure you have the appropriate clothing for the situation and to keep him well groomed... I mean he is a dapper Victorian gentleman after all, can't be looking shabby and all that.

This is an experience that no other medium could perform quite as well. As much as I love reading a book, it can't compare to actually having to plan the journey, find out information, manage the statuses of your relationship and keep and eye on the funds. I feel this game gives a whole new experience and really allows you to appreciate the trepidation's of the characters. I don't think I could recommend this more the writing is on point and really sold the experience to me, its especially impressive when you realise how many different scenarios the writers must have had to create. All in all though, it's a fantastic game, one that I totally plan to get on my tablet. If this appeals to you perhaps try; Emily is Away Cinders Her Story
