About the game

The quest genre rarely offers role-playing as a villain. Download Overboard! Through a torrent in Russian, the player gets the unique opportunity to play not as a detective, but as a criminal, or more precisely, a criminaless, for a change. The plot is fairly standard for a "classic" detective story: a confined space (a cruise ship to New York), a limited time (eight hours until arrival, after which the killer can "disappear into the crowd" upon disembarking), multiple suspects, and only one guilty. Even the setting (1935), the character's gender, and age (a young woman) are references to the stereotypical noir setting. The quest, depending on the character's behavior, may have more than one successful ending. You can try to frame someone. You can use feminine charms and turn the head of someone willing to take the blame. The gameplay revolves around dialogue with a large number of characters of varying genders, ages, and social statuses. All of them can play a role in the character's fate. Building connections will largely be intuitive, as the behavior of the other passengers on the liner directly depends on the protagonist's questions and answers. Fans of the genre will appreciate the variety Overboard! The rest can treat the game as a simple way to pass the time. It may take less than the character's allotted 8 hours, but it's still quite a lot. Especially since Overboard! You can go through the game again, playing a different role.
