Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })OverBlood is a Sci-Fi Survival Horror/Adventure game for the PlayStation. Developed by Riverhillsoft, it was first released in Japan in 1996 and was later localized by Electronic Arts for the west in 1997. While often seen as one of the first Resident Evil clones, it was actually in development around the same time and it's really more of a Spiritual Successor to Riverhillsoft's even lesser known 3DO Interactive Multiplayer game Dr. Hauzer (which in turn drew inspiration from Alone in the Dark, much like Resident Evil did).The game begins as the protagonist wakes from cryostasis with amnesia. After saving himself from the life-threatening cold of the room by wearing a small vest he calls a jacket, he learns from a computer terminal that his name is Raz (No relation) Karcy and that he was never supposed to wake up. With the aid of the robot Pipo he begins exploring the mysterious complex in which he is trapped, discovering the aftermath of an earthquake and the unfortunate results of a Super Soldier project. Things get complicated when he discovers he is infected with the mutation-causing ARNA Virus and that someone wants to make sure he never escapes...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It is notably more puzzle oriented than other Survival Horror games, having less than ten enemy encounters over the course of the entire game, counting the boss. It was also commended for its use of companions whom you could control at will for puzzles.While it was at the time considered rather average, it is now incredibly entertaining: the laughably illogical puzzles are just barely passable, the animations for everything from jumping to just standing still are ridiculous, and its otherwise interesting but forgettable plot is chock full of Narm.The game is later followed by a sequel, OverBlood 2.If you actually looked up this forgotten game, there's a good chance its because you watched either the Super Replay of it on Gameinformer.com, or the Wrongpurae of it by Retsupurae.These games have no relation to Blood Over, a 2D Beat 'em Up game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Unexpected Gameplay Change: At one point Raz and Milly have to ride a hovercraft through a cavern, where the game suddenly turns into avoiding stalactites and stalagmites. Mercifully your health bar works here instead of instant death, but it isn't exactly smooth to control.

Chekhov's Gun: Pipo's chip. Seems extremely pointless to take it? Yes, but Pipo is at the very end uploaded onto Zeus (the giant computer) who lets Milly and Raz out of the base that is about to explode.

Guide Dang It!
 OverBlood (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: There is nothing that indicates what objects can be interacted with. Many items are not even visible in the game, you just have to interact with one of several identical environmental objects to find the item needed. Crouching and interacting with an object has a different effect than interacting with it standing up, to the point where while standing up you will get "There's nothing here" and while crouching you will find a crucial item. Completion requires you either check every single thing, from desks to boxes to walls, twice, or you use a guide. It's also entirely possible that, without a guide, you will miss the only item in the game that allows you to save your progress. Which happened in the Game Informer Super Replay.

Super Soldier: This has been Lystra's original aim, creating clone soldiers who carry the ARNA virus that gives them higher sensory perception. This is why the zombies are very strong. Obviously, it backfires until the original Raz shows how to do it... and then you have to fight him.

Magic Antidote: Once the Viral Transformation mention below is in full effect, Milly takes Raz to get treated and completely reverses the virus. This essentially wastes the subplot, since there was a decent amount of build up but is never mentioned again after that event.

Press X to Not Die: Without much warning a tram-like machine activates behind Raz and Milly and advances towards them, with nowhere to go. Don't press the interact button in time and they're run over on the spot with a Gory Discretion Shot. Of course, the game doesn't indicate whatsoever that this is what you have to do.
