Overclocked: A History of Violence (PC) Reviews

[RobRich]

You are David McNamara, a D.C shrink. For reasons unknown, your wife won’t have anything to do with you and almost everyone treats you like you were a deranged lunatic. Despite of it all, you are recruited to solve the mystery of five amnesiac teenagers locked in a sanatorium that looks just like “1960s Romania”, as one of the characters bluntly puts it. In order to complete your task, you’ve got a PDA that sends and receives messages, dials phone numbers and records conversations.

Adventure games are a dying breed. Sadly, what was once a staple of the PC gamer’s diet has now become something for only the most avid gamers. There is one company, House of Tales, bucking the trend and the latest from them is Overclocked - a psychological thriller which will not only give the adventure buffs something new to chew on, it may just convince some people that this genre is worth exploring. Overclocked may not bring anything new to the table, but what it does it does well and is sure to be one of the better adventure games of 2008.
