Maybe I was just in the mood for it, but I thought this was one of the best games I've ever played.

Did anyone else enjoy Overclocked or was it just me? Wow... what a game.

For what it's worth the game played without issue under Vista SP1.

I thought it was a really good game, well put together with a great story line.

I really liked the game too! I was completely hooked by the unusual approach & thought the ending had a nice twist!

I enjoyed the game throughly and would like to see more of this type.

I loved the game. Very interesting storyline and intriguing characters.

I loved overclocked. I enjoyed its free flowing feel and thought provoking story. I hope we see more of this type of game provided timed sequences do not play a crucial part, or if present can be overruled by player if desired.

Am playing it at the moment and enjoying it immensly!

I am in the middle of the game, I like the story but I think I could never play it without a walkthrough. And i got a bit annoyed with

House of Tales make great games, and Martin Ganteföhr is a very talented narrator. So far, I enjoyed all his games; Overclocked probably even more than Moment of Silence or Mystery of the Druids because the topic was just so different from everything else. And there was no nasty final puzzle Currently, House of Tales are working on a new game but they just won't tell what it will be about. I guess we'll just have to wait

Loved the game, even though it was rather short! Keep them coming, Martin!

yes I like these sort of games but some times it is finding the time .You get involved with the story like watching a film and you have to concentrate and work stuff out .Needless to say I dont answer to my name the phone or the door

House of Tales will reveal their new game tomorrow, exclusively on German website Krawall.de
I'll report anything interesting.

Thanks Pollo!

Great news! I remember this time they said they planned a game with no rain in it.

No rain? I love it when the rain is pouring down, especially at the moment!

Me too, I was so engrossed in the story that I didn't like puzzles intervening, so played most of it re. MaG's excellent walkthrough!

Thank you PolloDiablo for the info & hoping that the game is as good as Overclocked & will get an English version release!

Got to say, I thought it was too repetitive in the middle parts.
Intriguing though.

The game is called "15 Days".
Preview for those who understand German.

Main protagonist is 30 y.o. Cathryn Hope. She and her friends Mike and Bernard steal art, but not for a living. Everything they sell is donated to organisations for developing countries and anti-globalists. You also get to play the role of Jack Stern, who is at first investigating the mysterious death of a British politician, but discovers something about an art theft in South Africa relating to that death. Our three main protagonists are behind that theft alright, but they don't know anything about the death, so they try to keep out of Jack's hands. From the article it seems there will be some timed sequences, as Martin Ganteföhr says he wants us (the players) to feel under pressure and having not enough time to do everything at a leisurely pace. Ofcourse, the focus remains on the story and the psychological development of the characters. The way an ideology can motivate people, even if it means they stray off the righteous path is what he wants to bring across.

I really enjoyed Overclocked, it took me a while to get into it but then I didn't want to stop, I look forward to a new game, but worry about the 'pressure' bit, however I'm sure I won't be able to resist.

Thank you Pollo, that sounds interesting!

An intriguing theme! Thanks Pollo!

Thanks for the translation, Pollo.

I don't know why they can't leave it up to the gamer whether they want the "pressure" or not. Maybe an option for timed or untimed when you install the game, as many hidden object games have. I certainly don't play games because I want more time pressure in my life. I've already got all I can take.

Amen to that Jenny! I couldn't agree more!

It's not like a well told story can't build up suspense. It's done all the time in movies and books.
Time pressure in a game actually has the opposite effect on me because every time I "fail" it reminds me I'm only playing a game -- sometimes several times in a row (or until I quit in disgust). Suspense is not the same as aggravation, and certainly not the same as boredom at having to repeat things over and over.

I know not everyone agrees, but why not let the gamer select which way works best for them?
