  Overboard! is a reverse whodunnit choice-driven game and it is incredibly fun to play. After killing your good-for-nothing husband in the middle of the night you must now avoid getting caught by any means necessary, regardless of who you have to frame or kill to get what you want. Despite being the murderer of this case, the game sets up an excellent mystery and each success you earn reveals yet another layer to unravel, drawing you deeper and deeper into the depths of its story. Everyone has a secret and Veronica is strangely self aware of her many second chances, allowing the player to easily go back and make new choices. It's a very stylish looking game. It looks fantastic and sounds just as good, truly immersing you in the time period that this game is set in. If any of this appeals to you, I full-heartedly recommended it. I’d love to see more games like this, as it’s just the type of game I want to get lost in for hours on end. 10/10 Would kill my husband again.

  There's a scene in overboard where you get raped. There is no warning.

  [h1]Not a [i]great[/i] branching-dialogue game, but a very good one[/h1] If you're looking for a quick, bite-sized game that you can tear through in less than an hour with the help of a guide, [i]Overboard![/i] has you covered. If you want a rich story full of layered characters that you can spend ten hours on or more - without a guide - it's got you covered there, too. But here's where I must caution you - if you want a complexly-branching narrative with several different endings, hyper-specific context-sensitive dialogue, and a game that will constantly surprise you with how the developers anticipated every outcome... You need to dial back your expectations. [i]Overboard![/i] is a small-scale indie title that is $15 at [i]full price[/i]. It has not been polished to a mirror shine, and it has a relatively limited scope. What's there is very good - the characters are charming and memorable, and the story is well-told. Although the game usually railroads you into only a few types of major ending states, they are generally very effective and the small flourishes are endearing. In the end, I suppose saying "it left me wanting more than it had" is a compliment, of sorts. That said - I still recommend it.

  After a long day of working retail in December, it's nice to come home and repeatedly murder my philandering husband and get away with it.

  It's like Groundhog Day meets a Poirot episode, but from the perspective of the murderer.

  A fun reversal of deduction games. You have to cover your tracks and make it impossible to solve the case. Lots of fun writing in this one.

  Fun little graphic novel-type game and a fun twist on the detective games I usually play since you're trying to get away with a crime instead of solve one. There are many different achievements you can unlock which are fun and don't necessarily even mean going trough the entire game again - once you get that achievement you can reset to the start of the day (and you can also get multiple achievements in one run). I recommend trying to get away with the murder once, then after that, look up what the achievements are and try to get them. Only downside is the game can get tedious when you're constantly repeating conversations and restarting over and over again. (You can reset to the start of a scene once each scene though if you don't like the choices you made, which helps). I stepped away from the game from a while before coming back to it to get the rest of the achievements, and that definitely helped it feel fun again. Overall, fun and kind of unique concept. Would play another game like this if they made one in a different setting.

  a dazzling little reverse-whodunit. like all of the best video games ever made, it takes place entirely on a boat.

  The premise is that you're a passenger on a ship, waking up on the morning after you've murdered your well-to-do husband. From that point, you're free to go anywhere on board to do whatever you can to avoid justice within the time limit. You could just try to play dumb and cover up enough evidence to put your guilt into doubt. If you're more devious you could try to frame one of your fellow passengers. You could even go the And Then There Were None route and murder everyone else on board just to be thorough, if you can pull it off. Overboard! was clearly designed for replayability. The ship is full of evidence and red herrings to tamper with, desperate schemes to attempt, and secrets to learn. The first playthrough reveals only a small slice of all this, leaving a collection of unsolved mysteries and unfollowed leads to pursue on the second. The second playthrough prepares you for the third, and so on, until finally you beat the game... but there's much more to it than that. Vague, but I don't want to spoil anything. This game was released today without any kind of announcement beforehand from inkle. As usual, their writing and design are superb. If you're captivated by the premise, even by a little, you won't regret the purchase.
