Has any one tried it?
It´s possible that it´s only in german right now (the version I have is), but still a great game.
Humaity isn´t perfect and will never create anything perfect. But if our goal is ´´perfection´´ then at least we´ll do our best.

I am really looking forward to this one! I don't think an English language version has been released yet.
ETA: Myst32, can you give us a little info on what types of puzzles are in it? Inventory? Investigative? I've been intrigued by the storyline every since I heard about it!

well the game is simple, inventory at the bottom of the screen, space tells you what you can click on the screen, this has really helped me because the game´s german. And I´m a dane and have had german in school since forever but I still can´t understand any of it. Any ways the game up until now is really good, as you properly allready know you have to ´´probe´´ some mentaly ill people, but I won´t give it all up front and I haven´t gotten that far yet.
(I´m actually stuck)
so the basics point, click, talk and repeat.

I didn't get the impression that the JA+ preview http://justadventure.com/Previews/Overclocked/Overclocked.shtmwas negative. Despite the humorous first sentence and the complaints about the lack of people in the city and not getting wet in the rain, the reviewer did praise the strong plot and characters and the detailed environments. That sounds to me like more good than bad.

I've played the German demo and loved it, looking forward to the English release.
House of Tales have, by the way, just announced they are working on a new game. They have yet to release any details, all they want to say is they are "looking for better weather..."
I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

That sounds to me like more good than bad. I just read the same preview, and Randy's description of his frustration with the lack of common sense in the game meshes completely with my own feelings about the House of Tales games I've played before... the silly lack of realism that mars both the Mystery of the Druids and Moment of Silence. (my reviews are on this site already). On this do classics win, and also-rans lose. (this was the same issue as I had with Operation Wintersun, btw) Gremlin
