Nah
Confused by the 30-45 minute advertising…this game is like 10 mins for one run, maybe 15 max. 😭
Pretty Good!
Pretty good! I wish there was less dialogue, but that's just my personal taste.
Such a good game
Love this game so good for the airplane! I still haven’t beaten this game and I’ve found new things like a year after downloading I love it

I need more!
Heats device, needs fixes
My iPad is extremely hot. Drains battery.
Also Music doesn’t work , and some text is cut off.

Disappointingly short
I got hundreds of hours of fun out of 80 days and expected the same here. I was severely disappointed. With only three endings and 10 minutes per loop, this game can be beaten in only 30 minutes. I want my money back.
Fantastic game, albeit a bit short!
This game is very well designed. Excellent graphics, music, gameplay, and characters. Beating the game will take probably less than an hour (like it did for me), but there are many side stories and achievements to be discovered, making this game extremely replayable!
This game is so good!!!
I wish they’d make a sequel or a spin off it’s so addicting, entertaining, well crafted, beautifully designed, ahhh I can’t rave about it enough! Give us more inkle this is the best phone game I’ve played in years!
One of those Mac magazines says this is the greatest game!
I have no idea why. Spoiler alert: nobody saw any thing, she didn’t confess and she was convicted.
great game
great game but a short one
Just wow
This is what I believe peak mobile gaming looks like. Unique concept, great art and art style, just fantastic. I really want to see more from these developers and story based games like this as I haven’t seen anything like it. Most story games on the App Store are cash grab garbage. This is truly one of the best most unique games on the App Store. Of course not without its flaws, but for a mobile game of this ambition, it deserves 5 stars

If only it were less repetitive
Starts out strong, but it eventually reaches a point where the fun exploration phase is over and I’m trying to optimize my day, which involves lots of repetition. If I want to change one small thing and keep the rest the same, I have to redo the entire day much the same as before. Would be much less tedious with an undo button.

The sound isn’t working for me?
Hello! I just downloaded the game and I was excited to play but I don’t hear anything? My sound is all the way up on my phone and it works on other apps but not Overboard! I have the volume in game all the way up as well but still cannot hear things? I haven’t played it passed the beginning monologue because J want to get the story in full storytelling gameplay. I bet it’s good and I’m excited to play but I just want some sound help before I begin? Can anyone help me with tips or anything? Thank you!

Super !
Super jeu, j'espère qu'il y en aura d'autres. J'enlève deux étoiles car il consomme beaucoup de batterie pour une app qui n'affiche qu'une suite d'écrans statiques.
Very Disappointing After “80 Days”
If you are coming to this app from 80 Days, lower your expectations. Lower. Lower. Keep going…
Despite the high price point of $5.99, this game only lasts about 15 minutes on the first playthrough. There isn’t much variation, either. After two or three plays you’ll be experiencing more old than new material. The total word count must be roughly equivalent to a chapter of a YA novel.
There’s no reason, from a user-based perspective, to fill a game with so much repetition. The advantage is entirely the designer’s. Imagine that you have to create five unique paragraphs, but that the sentences within those paragraphs don’t have to be unique. If you were lazy, you’d save yourself a lot of effort by repurposing the same sentences in different arrangements.
That’s essentially what Inkle has done here. Instead of putting forth the effort to create a rich game even a fraction as good as 80 Days, they’re counting on players getting focused on slight variations to create different outcomes—even though that means that after a few short plays, most of what the players are experiencing is tired and repetitive.
For some players, this is obviously working. For me, it’s a cheap trick. I thought for a moment that the story was going to continue with her life beyond the boat with new scenes—but no, it’s just that same dumb boat with the same handful of characters and rooms. If you’re going to provide so little material, fine, but drop the price several dollars.

The best game
This is the best game and I finally finished the game. The game is drawn really well. Definitely be playing again every day!
Missing saved games
Pretty interesting game so far, but the one thing it sorely misses are saved games. Multiple people in my family want to play, but we can’t without having to ‘fully clear’ the game’s status to reset clues and tasks. A simple solution would be to add the capability to save games and switch between saved games. Thanks!

Seems to capitalize on actual murder
Let me explain: anyone who self-raised on hart to hart and later on realized natalie wood jokes were a thing and so was a great deal of money dependent on people knowing someone got away with murder — will watch the 1978 TV movie with Angie Dickinson eventually, and then buy this game the next morning. The choices they allow you are all suspicion-inviting. So it’s not a game just a kind of clickbait.

Great game but seems a bit too short
Love the game just seems to be super short and replayability is a bit low as well
