*/"Overclocked is the unfortunate and sad reality of the adventure game
genre today -- a genre populated by cheaply produced and really quite
uninteresting titles made primarily for Nordic and German audiences
where they somehow manage to cling to the fringe of popularity.
There are many problems with / /Overclocked, not least of which is the
off-kilter and often irrelevant dialogue. The interface is also a little
unwieldy at times and there are a whole slew of smaller errors and
tweaks that really should have been done to the game as rudimentary
courtesy for players.
And yet, it retains some level of charm if only on a slightly
masochistic level. There is a strange pull to the story of these five
people who were mentally broken from their experiences and the gameplay,
while staid, is enough to make the story accessible. / /Just.
At the end of the day though, the cons clearly outweigh the pros and
while / /Overclocked will no doubt maintain some appeal with the
adventure game enthusiasts, the majority will want to walk on by and try
something a little more polished."/
