The premise alone is already incredibly interesting so being able to execute it well and create such a thoroughly non-linear game is such a feat !! I love the writing and GUI and the art direction in general. I'm in suspense every time I play it
My detailed written blog post about Overboard! is at this linkhttps://mrdavepizza.com/overboard-genre-twisting-inkle-whodunnit-review/ Overboard! is such a romp upon the seas, such fun. I wasn't sure if I was going to like a murder mystery game, but the game has nothing but charm. I love how it plays like a classic whodunnit with all the nuances of an indie game in it. I don't typically critique "worth it" value, but the game is memorable and replayable, so it definitely is. The choices-matter gameplay is legit and every character has lots of depth. One of the top games I ever played.
Ok this game is challenging, but also kind of addicting. Also, I did pick this game up on iOS (mobile) instead of PC. I honestly think this is better off as a mobile game
The game is likely a great game and I look forward to playing it soon! The one thing that really grinded my gears a bit was the message that's splayed out for all ages to see (consider this for a moment):
(intended as friendly speculation of the marketing messaging here)
Absolutely loved the game. I love 'groundhog day' looping games, and this was so much fun. These types of games are so rare, and Overboard! pulled it off perfectly.
UPDATE: This seems to be bug in Unity / Apple’s code-signing, so we’re pulling the Mac build for now. If you’ve bought a broken copy, please let us know (info@inklestudios.com) with some proof of purchase and we’ll supply a Steam key (the Mac version on Steam is fine, for some magical reason). Apologies again.
Hi! I'm really excited to play this game, but as soon as I purchased it, I was given a notification that the file was damaged and unable to be opened (mac version).

Is there any way to get this game for Android without using the Google Play Store?

will it be available for mac
I love the visuals of this game and the art style, but $15 is too much for half an hour gameplay.
It says average game session is about half an hour yet this game is $15 wut!?
Pleaseee Spanish
Awesome!

do you have a soundtrack, or list of songs? the choices are fantastic
Do you have plans to release a Linux version? If this is made in Unity it's just an export away.
