Odessa is a location in 80 Days. Fogg and Passepartout find the city rather chilly, thanks to the weather and the Russian influence on the town that has been felt ever since the Tsar invaded.
Events[]
Passepartout may approach a group of local drinkers, sharing some vodka at the top of a large staircase. He can ask them about the city and themselves, like why they are all so subdued with alcohol. They respond that this is them at peace, a rare thing in Odessa ever since their city has been overrun. When asked to specify what it has been overrun with they simply respond, "with Jews". At this Fogg makes known his desire to leave, but Passepartout can leave a parting remark about how it was the Tsar who invaded, not the Jews, if he wishes; it will not change their mind.
If a different conversation route is taken Passepartout can discuss the group's drinking habits, either advising them to drink in moderation or buying a bottle of Vodka from the group. After buying a bottle further conversation choices can open up the route to Novorossiysk, as one of the drinkers suggests that his brother has a cart going that way.

Trivia[]
- Should one learn of the drunkards' anti-semitism, an event marker labelled "That man is a bigot!" will appear over Odessa.
- It is possible to arrive in Odessa from Minsk (thus preventing travel to Novorossiysk) having already visited Istanbul and Moscow (usually by failing the event aboard the Mail Airship), in which case no routes onward will be available and the game will be soft-locked. Travellers beware!
