In Overclocked, the adventure game veterans from House of Tales tackle a problem that is as archetypal as it is contemporary - violence. Set against the backdrop of a catastrophic thunderstorm raging over New York City, 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 the issue of 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 psychothriller with survival-horror flair that offers thrills, as well as plenty food for thought.
