"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."
