About this episode

John and Andrew change things up with a reverse detective game today! After committing a crime, we have to cover our tracks in Overboard!, from Inkle studios. This time loop game has you running around a ship, ferritin out other passengers secrets and using those to escape your crime. We also discuss the GDC talk given by Jon Ingold after the release of the game, where he talks about detective game storytelling in general, and Overboard specifically.
