Great gameGreat game but a short one.Version: 1.4.2

Surprisingly brilliantI personally need little persuading with Inkle’s interactive fiction apps (read 80 Days) but my fairly young son, who usually is indifferent to the printed page, got something of a buzz out of this dastardly dash too! Theme probably too much for younger children, though. As a big kid I can, however, only wait and hope Inkle will be back with more of these apps (I prefer iOS myself for this sort of thing) as they are terrific..Version: 1.3.0

Great game but seems a bit too shortLove the game just seems to be super short and replayability is a bit low as well.Version: 1.4.2

Bally fine game, what?An excellent example of run-based interactive fiction that works well (if a little hot) on mobile. The story can be run through once in ten or twenty minutes, but the next time will be entirely different. The tight, interconnected cast of characters populating the ship go about their days, offering trade offs of where to go when, and with whom. There are several ways to get your character, Veronica, off of the SS Hook. But how you go about it can determine not only her freedom, but her fortune in matters of the heart and the purse. The backdrop of interwar intrigue and upper class eccentricities provides an entertaining read the first time, and the Nth..Version: 1.3.0

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!.Version: 1.4.2

Great game!I love point and click adventure games like this and this game did not disappoint. Great graphics and many different endings and achievements. Definitely recommend!.Version: 1.3.0

Excellent Reverse Murder MysteryWith the amount of games about it out there, solving a murder is easy. Getting away with it is hard. This game confirms that. The forethought the writers did is excellent, I frequently found myself getting caught by assuming the fellow passengers would be stupider than they actually are. However, that made the eventual victory all the more for filling. The only problem I have with this game is the amount of my battery that it chugs through. In the worst case, this means you can’t play the game for more than an hour at a time; but conveniently enough, the game’s repeatable format works very well in short segments..Version: 1.3.0

Simply Great!More focused than 80 days. Great game..Version: 1.3.0

GreatThe battery issue has been taken care of..Version: 1.2.2

Incredible!This game is great! The music, the voice acting, the dialogue, the old glamor vibes! They really captured the atmosphere well in this little game. I think the game design is really unique too, and is something that I’ve never seen any other game do. Keep it up, Inkle!.Version: 1.2.2

Kill All Sinners?I REALLY adore this game, but I’ve tried it about 10 times now and cannot kill everyone? Is there a walkthrough on how to do this? Idk! But, all-in-all this is an amazing game..Version: 1.2.1

GoodI really like this, especially the rewind aspects and highlighting your previous choices - I took off a star because there’s no option to turn off sound completely, I use my iPad for white noise for my child and would like to play at the same time but can’t as the sound effects are still going, even with the music turned off in options.Version: 1.4.2

I’m enjoying it, but...... in about 10-15 minutes of playing my phone got very hot, my battery dropped about 20%, and I had to stop. But I was really enjoying it until then, and hope they get the heating problem sorted out in an update. I played on an iPhone 11 Pro Max..Version: 1.2.0

Another Inkle HitUPDATE: Bumped up to 5 stars thanks to the recent update to optimize battery utilization. This is - like all Inkle games - an extremely well-written game with a simple premise: get away with murder on a ship. For those unfamiliar with Inkle games, this is like a choose your own adventure with great depth. The dialogue feels natural; the graphics are clean and snappy; the sound is minimal and appropriate. Most importantly, the replayability and variety of choices is vast. The challenge is quite high, as you’re dealing with a large variety of dialogue options coupled with a time crunch to meet your goals. As you take an action, time passes. Each character is on a different part of the ship at a different time of day, so you need to be strategic about what you want to say / do / when you want to go to each section. Also with each replay, you learn something new and unlock new objectives. This adds to the challenge. For me, this is another slam dunk from Inkle that I’ll be sinking hours into..Version: 1.2.2

Inkle Is The Best!This is a jolly fun game I say. The trick is to keep playing and try every option. You will be amazed at all the fun twists and turns that unfold!.Version: 1.2.1

AwesomeI love this game! Ingenious and not so easy to beat, it wasn’t random and you have to put thought into it. My only wish is that it was a bit longer or there was more..Version: 1.2.2

ExcellentGreat little game with strong branching decision making and piecing together the full picture through multiple play throughs is very fun. The complete elimination ending is pretty special too. Definitely worth a purchase!.Version: 1.2.2

Not as replayable as 80 Days, but great for a couple hoursWould love to see more of these..Version: 1.3.0

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!.Version: 1.4.2

Missing saved gamesPretty interesting game so far, but the one thing it sorely misses are saved games. Multiple people in my family want to play, but we can’t without having to ‘fully clear’ the game’s status to reset clues and tasks. A simple solution would be to add the capability to save games and switch between saved games. Thanks!.Version: 1.4.2

Inkle does it again!Another great game from Inkle, this time clearly inspired by “The Last Express”, an interactive fiction classic. Overboard! is smart, fast, and intricate in great ways. Each playthrough goes quickly and reveals more and more, drawing you right back in. Everyone should play, and interact fiction nerds should study it..Version: 1.2.1

The best gameThis is the best game and I finally finished the game. The game is drawn really well. Definitely be playing again every day!.Version: 1.4.2

No achievements?I can’t figure out how/where to view achievements. Do they not get counted on the iOS version??? That seems like a real shame if true..Version: 1.3.0

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.Version: 1.4.1

Just wowThis 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.Version: 1.4.2

Great game one suggestionI really love this game it has some unusual so if you’re particular about your games keep that in mind. Great animation style and sound effects. There are lot of things you can do in the game that you won’t realize even after playing the game for a lot of time. It is $6 which is a lot for a game, but remember it’s made by a small indie studio. I think there should be around two new maps/stories added to the game to keep it interesting because it gets a bit repetitive..Version: 1.3.0

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!.Version: 1.3.0

Fantastic!!All the visuals in this game are very stylish and engaging- they're what drew me in initially and I was even more impressed once I actually played through the game. I went in expecting a relatively short game, but the time-loop style structure offered an incredible sense of replay-ability even after I'd completed the main goals. Overall, very fun and worth a go!.Version: 1.3.0

Cute GameIt took me a dozen tries just to get the insurance money, and I still have a blackmailer! Very cute game!.Version: 1.2.1

Took me six triesThis game was fun. Took me 6 attempts to “win.” I liked the variety of choices you can make as your character..Version: 1.4.2
