Independent studio Inkleknown for adventure games 80 Days and Heaven’s Vault, without preliminary announcements, released its new project on PC, iOS and Nintendo Switch. This is a text detective adventure Overboard, in which the main secret is immediately known: the murder was committed by our heroine.
The game takes place aboard the SS Hook ship, which will arrive in New York in eight hours – and we will be lost unless someone else is accused of murdering the heroine’s husband by that time. Players will have to resort to any means to get out of the water.
The developers are betting on the infinite replayability of Overboard: the game has many possibilities and unexpected turns, and all characters in it act independently and remember everything they saw and heard. One playthrough will take 30-40 minutes, but it may be far from ideal.
