  • Next-gen visual novel: go where you want, when you want, and say what you want
  • Simulated story-world: other characters move and act independently, remember everything they see and hear, and everything you do
  • Every minute counts: you have eight hours to escape justice. Time is always ticking
  • Who can you trust? Some characters are friendly, and some are out to get you. Who will you befriend? And who will you betray?

Built using the award-winning ink narrative engine, Overboard!’s narrative twists itself around every choice you make.
Play once for a thrill, or multiple times to uncover all the secrets and achieve an ideal ending.

One play-through lasts about 30 – 45 minutes, but achieving the perfect crime run will take a lot longer.
