Overclocked: A History of Violence on PC DVD-ROM

Distributed by
Lighthouse Interactive

Posted: April 25th, 2008.

Set against the backdrop of a catastrophic thunderstorm raging over New York City, Overclocked explores an archetypical, yet actual condition of mankind: violence. This psychological thriller mixes frightening fictional thriller elements using innovative narrative structures.

Army psychiatrist, David McNamara, is called to the Staten Island Forensic Hospital in New York City to consult on a case that requires his expertise in forensic psychiatry. Tasked with exploring the minds of five young men and women who were found scared, screaming, and without memory, players make alarming discoveries as they begin to cautiously explore the psyches of their young patients.

Throughout the game, players will switch between six different characters in this chilling interactive psycho thriller.

Features:

• Play as six different characters throughout the game
• Explore 45 different locations with densely animated pre-rendered settings
• The thought provoking and controversial story is revealed via an innovative narrative approach
• Meet and interact with a cast of intriguing characters, each with their own distinct personalities
• Exceptional visuals enhanced by real-time particle FX, shadows and shader FX, and dynamic lighting
• Uses the same game engine as The Moment of Silence, with an innovative new character animation system and facial expressions created with EMotion FX 2 technology

The game is released on PC DVD-ROM on May 2nd for £19.99, and is currently on Amazon.co.uk at the above link for £14.98.
