About

Overblood is a 3D action-adventure video game developed by Riverhillsoft and released in 1997 for the PlayStation console. The game takes place in the future, where the player takes on the role of a man named Raz Karcy who wakes up in a cryogenic pod with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As Raz, the player must explore the futuristic environments, solve puzzles, and fight enemies in order to uncover his past and the secrets of the facility he finds himself in. The game features a mix of third-person exploration and combat, and also includes survival elements such as managing hunger and oxygen levels. Despite its initial commercial failure, Overblood has gained a cult following over the years for its unique gameplay and intriguing story.
