Review:
Get the full game guide for Overclocked: A History of Violence for PC. Absolutely all online walkthrough strategy guides are right here!
In Overclocked, you play as a military psychiatrist named David, you start the game out in a hotel in New York city amidst a terrible storm, you must o to the hospital because five patients are all suffering from amnesia. Through a series of sessions you are tasked with trying to unlock the rather peculiar mystery. From there, you play as each one of the characters in a sort of flashback gameplay, while trying to piece things together in the present as David. This being a game that has a pretty decent idea going for it, the game is not spelled out linearly, rather bits and pieces of the crazy crud that these people dealt with and experienced. Sort of a cheap man's version of a Quentin Tarentino film, only not that clever and with a lot less swearing.
The game makes no bones about it, this is a title for the game player who embraces mysteries and could care less about gameplay, yes this is a point and click adventure. Preparing to go out in the storm, our hero David must inspect everything in his hotel room and the lobby. This means, inspecting every section and engaging in some rather blathering conversation with the entirely-too-pompous-to-be a hotel staff person. Failure to find everything will not allow you to exit the hotel. To me this is a real turn off, and I am a sucker for a good story and adventure, but to me the gameplay is lessened when you must run the cursor over everything on the screen in the hopes the icon will change and you can inspect it. Granted, this game takes the whole point and click interface to a new level by having multiple icons appear over object when applicable and having you select items from you inventory on the bottom of the screen and placing them on to object in the game portion.

GUIDE FOR PC
Overclocked: A History of Violence Overview:
The classic point & click adventure game breaks new ground in order to tell a story revolving around psychiatrist David McNamara and five young patients. These patients are found barely clothed, the apparent victim of a traumatic act of violence, in the rain-drenched streets of New York City. McNamara is called to help as an expert psychiatrist. At the Staten Island Forensic Hospital he is tasked with treating the young patients – who all suffer from severe amnesia. Dave begins to carefully probe their memory, trying to reveal their obscured past. The story-telling approach of Overclocked sees the player take on the role of the patients as they are questioned, playing and exploring their memories one by one. In reverse chronology, the player makes his way through the shards of their past and experiences frightening events that seem incoherent at first. The insights gained can then used back in the role of Dave McNamara to piece together the interconnections between the victims and open up new lines of questioning.
