a nice albeit short game, personally i find it gets quite boring quite quickly as there is very little info you can then apply to later runs other than schedule times but it still makes for a interesting play for a few hours, i would reccomend aiming for two of the endings (they're near fully exclusive so don't try to do both at once) being the true ending where you get the full payout and the ending where you murder basically all the other players
Overboard is a neat little title that turns the "Whodunit" genre on its head and makes it into a "Youdunit". The story is simple: You decided to murder your husband during your trip to America in the early 30s and it is now your job to cover it up until you reach port and make a new life for yourself. What starts out very interesting and ends in just a short run of about 10-15 minutes becomes essentially a timeloop where you replay the game over and over as the game gives you hints to figure out the going-ons on the ship and eventually know the game in and out to the point that you can get away with not just murder, but perhaps even more than that. The game was quite interesting to me at first but I quickly grew bored of it because of how short each run is. It feels frustrating and arbitrary in many ways where it feels like it is trial and error, and it is quite literally impossible to actually "get away with it" on your first run due to how many roadblocks are put in your way and get you caught. After a while I just started looking up a guide on how to do things and found out that you really just have to do things in a SPECIFIC way and in a certain timeframe with little deviation to get the BEST ending, and I feel like if there is only this one specific way to actually fully beat the game in the way that the developer's decide gets you to the credits, is a bit of a gut punch. it doesn't distract from what is essentially a good game and its still for sure recommended to be bought and played, especially thanks to the stunning visuals and art direction at play. But the magic doesn't last forever and the game's flaws become more obvious with each subsequent run.
