There is murder at sea in 1935, a man overboard. You know who dunnit from the get go because you dunnit. You spend the next hour or so of playtime trying to get away with it. Find out how to get away with murder in flotsam's review of ******** Overboard ********

I don't know, oldbroad. I went to the Steam discussion forum for Overboard and didn't see anything, so I asked. The game is only about an hour long.

I have the game in my Steam library and I'm glad I do now! It sounds like a fun escape! Thanks flotsam! Thanks, Drac! Ana

Hi oldbroad The short answer is no. When you exit it will save which is where you next start. If you have only played a very short bit (eg go to restaurant) you might have to do that again, but as far as I could tell once you made a choice the game moved you on. You can choose to reset the day, or to wipe all data (the game keeps count of your attempts and might adjust accordingly) but "resume" is the stock in trade and works quite well. Hope that helps 
Quantity has a quality all of its own

I also found this on the Steam forum: The game autosaves every time you finish interacting with a room in the ship. You don't get manual saves, but if you're worried about having to do the same thing over and over, there's a button you can hold to do all the same actions you did in that area in the last playthrough.

It is about an hour long, but has great replay value and multiple endings.
I love playing adventure games like Gemini Rue on my ipad mini and Gray Matter on my PC Netbook.
