Set aboard the SS Hook in 1935, Overboard! casts you as Veronica, who has murdered her husband during a voyage to New York. With eight hours before the ship reaches port, you must keep the crime from being traced back to you.
Move between locations, speak with passengers and crew, and investigate cabins for clues or evidence. Conversations and other actions take time, while the people aboard follow their own schedules. Choose when to lie, befriend, blackmail, frame, or otherwise manipulate others, and keep your story consistent as characters react to what they learn.
Each run presents choices about how to handle witnesses, evidence, and suspicions, with multiple possible outcomes. Later attempts build on what you have learned about the ship and its passengers, letting you explore other strategies, uncover secrets, and pursue different endings.
Reviewers often enjoy the reverse murder-mystery premise and the puzzle of planning actions around the ship’s schedule, gathering information, and shaping an alibi. Some also praise the dialogue, humor, and varied outcomes. Others find the short repeated runs and strict timing tedious, especially when pursuing particular endings.
