Overboard! for Negative User Reviews

✓ Can’t Even PlayThis game keeps crashing about a couple minutes into the game. Disgraceful..BonairemermaidVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Waste of moneyI 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 ajsVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Not worth the $Game took like 5 minutes to finish and I beat it on the first try, I don’t find if replayable either.UrlocallesbianVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Short and DisappointingThe story, art and action were all excellent, but the options as to how to respond were too limited. Ultimately, a contrived reason was given for the murderer's guilt. This was very disappointing. It isn't worth playing twice and the purchase price was far too much..Barryh45Version: 1.3.0

✓ If only it were less repetitiveStarts 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..Lingrush24Version: 1.4.2

✓ 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!.<3 Kimmy <3 :)Version: 1.4.2

✓ Not Worth ItEven 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..MtlynVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Limited replay valueThere is so much repetition, and the mini goals you are set run out so quickly, that this is a bit too clunky for repeated playthroughs. I love Inkle and nearly everything they do but this feels like a cross between Groundhog Day and the murder mystery section in 80 Days and isn’t really worth the money, although it’s a nice idea..MrNEvans101Version: 1.3.0

✓ 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..APenNameAndThatAVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Clever idea, disappointingThe premise is unique and could be really cool. The dialogue is good although I often felt obvious responses weren’t available. For the price of the game I expected it to be fully voice acted and to have interactive backgrounds, but essentially it is a text adventure with character artwork. If I had known that beforehand I would not have bought the game at this price. I would say wait for a sale if you want to check it out. The storylines are entertaining and I can see how the game would have decent replay value..BdbinoVersion: 1.3.0

✓ 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..KataloghVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Soooooo boringI guess I don’t like a role playing game, this was just incredibly boring for me. Bought it an hour ago and pushed myself to get to the end. It’s just choosing dialogue…obviously a lot of people enjoyed it, but a bit waste for me, I’d never play it again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.KitkitluluVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Flat, two-dimensional, and far from a fully realized game!I had really high hopes for this game, but honestly it wasn’t worth the money. I got through the game in about 20-25 minutes, and I was taking my time. It’s a very interesting premise for a game, which is why I downloaded it, but I wasn’t impressed at all. I think the creators were going for an illustrative, storybook effect, but it really was just a disappointingly flat and two-dimensional UI. There is no interaction in this game at all (seriously). When you’re “searching” for evidence, you can’t actually see the rooms you’re supposed to be looking through or the evidence itself. The entire game is set up like this: a flat, unmoving illustration of your character is on the screen and you must choose from 3 simple options for the given dialogue or action in that particular scene. The dialogue appears on screen like chat bubbles from an old comic, and you never hear any of the voices or narration of the characters at all. You also can’t see anything inside the ship at all. You can replay the game different ways to find different outcomes. However, even in doing so, there’s a lot of redundancy and overlap in the plot lines and it becomes boring because you know what the characters are going to say next. I want to reiterate that I really did want to like this game. I understand that it’s hard to build a fully realized game world within an iPhone app, but this game really fell short. I didn’t find myself invested in the plot, the characters, anything. Wouldn’t recommend!.Hannah9734Version: 1.3.0

✓ AnnoyingPluses: -Art is good. -Obviously effort was put into the storyline. Issues: -Overpriced for what you get. -There’s no way to mute the sound only some of the background music. -Every time you reset the game back to 8am (and you will often) you have to watch the opening & credits all over again… & again… & again… & again… -While im sure its probably possible to win its quite trying to have to repeat things over & over trying to figure out the exact magic sequence that will let you win because theres apparently only one. -Logic doesnt seem to play any part in this. Im debating if itd be worth the effort to try to create my own flow sheet to track the responses. A big part of me doesnt think this game is worth the effort tho. So. 1 star for art & 1 star for effort. Minus 3 for so many annoying issues..TamberlinVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Why so much hype… and so little help?I don’t do many games but Overboard sounded like fun. However, despite the very long introduction showcasing all the voice actors and sound effect artists , I couldn’t hear anything. IS there sound? No way to get help. The app support link just goes to the website store. Annoying to see all the production staff but no help..Really-really-this is a messVersion: 1.3.0

✓ DullI 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....QUAD3Version: 1.3.0

✓ Seems to capitalize on actual murderLet 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?Version: 1.4.2

✓ Can’t see wordsThe font is so tiny - if there was a setting to increase the size I could try it?.RobustyoungsoulVersion: 1.3.0
