## Overboard! Reviews in United States

### ****- "Pretty Good!"
Pretty good! I wish there was less dialogue, but that&#039;s just my personal taste.
-- Kalei NC, 2025-02-01

### ****- "good but chinese pls"
please add Chinese language
-- 我简直在放屁, 2024-11-15

### *---- "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.
-- Nednoble, 2024-05-26

### ***** "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!
-- sharonkeelyyy, 2024-03-11

### ***** "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!
-- jackiemichelle35, 2023-10-14

### ***** "great game"
great game but a short one
-- urgentasap, 2022-11-22

### ***** "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
-- TaqweemUH, 2022-09-28

### ***-- "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.
-- Lingrush24, 2022-09-27

### ***-- "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!

### **--- "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.
-- Katalogh, 2022-08-20

### ***** "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!
-- hdudydhd, 2022-08-16

### *---- "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.
-- Ifyournicknameistakenyouhavetorewritethewholething?, 2022-07-17

### ****- "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
-- Ghetto Lenin, 2022-06-13

### ****- "Took me six tries"
This game was fun. Took me 6 attempts to “win.” I liked the variety of choices you can make as your character.
-- HerculesMulligan, 2022-06-08

### ***** "Will They Ever Be Another Ending?"
I got all the endings, and I’m wondering, will they’ll be another ending, I have a great idea, after killing Clarissa, the ghost of Malcolm comes and tries to gives us a scare, Veronica wakes up only to reveal it’s been a dream, we then can take two choices by telling Malcolm that they had a dream or ordering champagne for Malcolm, leading into a route to poisoning Malcolm, that’s my idea
-- iluvmymama127, 2022-05-19

### *---- "Waste of money"
I played around the world in 80 days. This game doesn’t even come close. The options are repetitive and boring. The graphics are terrible. I paid 5.99 for this garbage.
-- player ajs, 2022-03-27

### *---- "Dull"
I loved 80 Days but this game was predictable, pretty boring and repetitive.  Feels like it could have been more interesting and engaging, but falls short...
-- QUAD3, 2022-01-09

### **--- "Can’t see words"
The font is so tiny - if there was a setting to increase the size I could try it?
-- robustyoungsoul, 2022-01-04

### ***** "Phenomenal!"
I truly love this game. It’s beautifully designed, SO clever, and devilishly hilarious! It took me more times than I can count, in order to “win” but I’ll be playing again to try other combinations. LOVE IT! More like this, please!
-- pyt18587, 2022-01-02

### **--- "Not Worth It"
Even when taking a new path a lot of the game seemed pretty repetitive. Each round also seems to go really quickly to me. Cool concept, but just not my favorite for how much it costs.
-- mtlyn, 2021-12-30
