| | In Overclocked, the adventure game veterans from House of Tales tackle a problem that is as
archetypal, as it is topical: violence.
Set against the backdrop of a catastrophic thunderstorm raging over New York, Overclocked mixes
frightening fictional thriller Elements with real research findings on war simulation and
psychology. As a US army psychiatrist, the player is tasked with exploring the memories of
several characters as he finds himself in a true psychological thriller.
Using innovative narrative structures, Overclocked charts the diffuse areas where memories and
illusions, dreams and reality, perpetrators and victims meet and deals with an issue that is as
topical as it is ancient: violence.
Technically, Overclocked takes the engine from The Moment of Silence to the next level with an
innovative character animation system, improved facial expressions, more real-time camera
movement, cinematic dialogues and lots of interaction – the results are strong visuals and an
involving story. Overclocked is a political psycho-thriller with survival-horror flair that
offers thrills, as well as plenty food for thought.
