Prepare to face your deepest aquatic fears in Overboard, a free-to-play VR action game that throws you into a relentless battle against hordes of bloodthirsty sharks. Developed by Jack Southard and Nathan Jew, and published by Trass Games, this indie title offers a unique blend of intense action and satisfying gore.

The core gameplay revolves around fending off increasingly massive waves of sharks using an arsenal of increasingly ridiculous weaponry. You'll start with basic tools but quickly upgrade to outlandish gadgets like laser-guided bazookas and propeller attachments that let you soar through the air.

The game encourages creative destruction, allowing players to "stab, blend, and explode" their foes in a visually chaotic spectacle. Scavenging for new weapons from the very creatures you're fighting adds another layer to the progression.

Overboard isn't confined to just the ocean depths; it expands its battlegrounds to the skies and even the vacuum of space, offering three distinct endless environments to test your survival skills. The cartoonish gore and violence, while intense, are presented in a stylized manner, making the carnage a spectacle rather than purely disturbing.
