Overclocked Demo

[noman]

Overclocked is a third-person point and click adventure game from the
creators of "The Moment of Silence". The English-language demo came
out few days back and you can find it at FileFront and other usual
download locations. At 900+ megs, it's quite hefty.

Clearly the developers have learned a lot from their past experience.
The interface is very simple and going between different areas even
when separated by few rooms, takes no time at all. The exit hotspots
show up clearly and double clicking on them works, regardless of
character's location on that screen.

The game looks almost as bleak as TMOS. It's set up in a mental
institution with one clever gameplay device (and I don't consider this
a spoiler) where the doctor (the main character) can hypnotize the
patients in digging up past events and the gamer ends up controlling
the patients in navigating those memories or delusions. Specially in
the mental world, there's this sense of dread that you normally find
in suvival-horor games such as Alone in the Dark or Silent Hill.

It's an intereting looking game. If you like traditional adventures
and have the bandwidth to download almost a gigabyte, then try it out.
By the way, installed size is 1.4GB, so including the download and
installation, you should have about 3GB free.

The demo ran without any issue on Vista x64.

1.4 GB for a demo?

Yes, just the download is 900+ megabytes. Game installation is further
1.4GB.

The game is now available at Amazon for $30. If my backlog didn't
already contain Awakened, Tunguska, Ankh and Ankh 2, I'd buy it. I
should better finish those games first.
