Reviews

“Fast paced, fabulous looking and full of opportunities to wreak havoc, Overboard!’s endlessly entertaining choice-driven story of murder and deceit aboard a 1930s ship will have you falling hook, line and sinker.”
5/5 – Adventure Gamers

“Overboard! conjures something that feels expansive and alive, something reassuringly familiar but also strange and surprising... A quite scintillating success.”
5/5 – The Guardian

“Takes the fun trappings of mysteries and whodunnit puzzles but turns the genre on its head... Overboard! is the kind of game that’s impossible to put down once you start it.”
Kotaku

About This Game



JULY, 1935. A MURDER HAS BEEN COMMITTED aboard the SS Hook, eight hours out from New York.

Only one problem: you did it.

Can you get away with murder?



GAMEPLAY

Overboard! is a tense, highly replayable detective game from the creators of 80 Days and Heaven's Vault.



Blackmail a spy. Fall in love. Murder a rival. Cheat at cards. Drug a witness. Lie, befriend, betray, console, sneak, seduce, steal, borrow, pray, eavesdrop, kill...

There are clues, evidence, suspects, accusations, secrets and lies.

You’ll need all your cunning, coercion and charisma to ensure that someone else takes the fall.

DYNAMIC NARRATIVE CLOCKWORK



* Next-gen visual novel: go where you want, when you want, and say what you want
* Simulated story-world: other characters move and act independently, remember everything they see and hear, and everything you do
* Every minute counts: you have eight hours to escape justice. Time is always ticking
* Who can you trust? Some characters are friendly, and some are out to get you. Who will you befriend? And who will you betray?

Built using the award-winning ink narrative engine, Overboard!'s narrative twists itself around every choice you make.

Play once for a thrill, or multiple times to uncover all the secrets and achieve an ideal ending.



One play-through lasts about 30 - 45 minutes, but achieving the perfect crime run will take a lot longer.

Can you get away with murder?
