Over Blood is an action/adventure game where you assume the role of Raz Karcy. Everything Raz discovers and uncovers about his identity, the genetic lab, and the scientists' plan is determined by your actions. Follow these basic rules to make it out alive. Reading Text
Although speech plays a major part in the transfer of information, text is equally important. When a line of text appears on the screen, read it, then press X. When the text is cleared, Raz can continue.
Explore Everywhere
You never know where Raz will uncover the next clue to his identity or tool for escape. Explore each hallway, room, and shaft to see where it leads. Check every shelf, desk, nook, and cranny to find out what secrets they conceal.
•
To walk, press the D-Button.
•
To run, press Circle + D-Button.
•
To open an unlocked door, press X.
•
To climb up to an opening or onto a ledge, press X.
•
To jump up to an opening high above you, press Square.
•
For a running jump, press Square + D-Button.
•
To crouch through a small opening, press Triangle.
Examine Everything
The articles Raz needs to accomplish his objectives are not always visible to the casual glance, so you must examine everything closely. Computers may contain relevant information; even corpses may possess key objects.
•
To examine an item above waist level, walk up to it, and press X.
•
To examine an item below waist level, crouch (Triangle), then press X.
Raz can pick up some objects and hold onto them for later use. If you come across one of these items, Raz will identify it for you. It's up to you to decide whether or not to take it.
•
To add an object to your inventory, highlight TAKE, then press X.
•
To leave the object, highlight LEAVE, then press X.
Raz's inventory has no capacity limitations, so it's in your best interest to pick up everything just in case.
Try Anything
Whenever you run into a barrier to your progress (a gap in your path, locked doors, etc.), check your stash to see if you have anything that might come in handy. Many times the connection is clear (i.e., you can usually open a lock with a key), but not always. Try different tools until you solve the puzzle.
To use an inventory item:
1. Press SELECT to access your inventory. To cycle through the contents, D-Button.
2. When you see an item you want to try, press X. Raz does the rest.
If the item is not effective, access your inventory and try something else.
When all else fails, resort to brute force. Raz can push some objects, as long as they're not too heavy or bolted to the floor. For example, if there's no clear path, try pushing something out of the way to get through.
•
To push, position Raz against the object, then press Circle + D-Button.
Pay Attention
There are no frivolous actions in Over Blood, so make sure you pay attention to everything. Everything you read, everything you hear, and everything you see is significant—even the cinematic sequences.
•
To bypass the cinematic sequences, press START + Circle.
Important Items
Although Raz must locate and use several articles as he makes his way through the laboratory, the Voice Recorder, Emergency Spray, and Hand Gun serve particularly vital functions—use them wisely.
Voice Recorder (Saving & Restoring Games)
The Voice Recorder is perhaps the most important item you'll discover as you play through the game. You need the Voice Recorder to save your progress.
You can save up to four games on a memory card. To save and restore your progress, you also need a memory card inserted in Memory Card Slot 1 on your PlayStation game console. Never insert or remove a memory card when loading or saving files. To save your progress:
1. Go to your inventory and choose the Voice Recorder.
2. When the memory card check is complete, highlight a save game slot, then press X to record. Your saved game is labeled by the time elapsed and your level in the base.
3. When recording is complete, press Circle to return to the game.
Saving to a slot with an existing saved game automatically overwrites the previously saved game.
To restore a saved game:
1. At the Over Blood title screen, choose CONTINUE.
2. When the memory card check is complete, highlight the save game slot in which the game you wish to restore is saved, then press X.
Emergency Spray
Anytime Raz finds himself in imminent danger, a health status bar appears. The health status bar remains on the screen until he overcomes the peril or perishes, whichever comes first. When your status bar is critically low, use the Emergency Spray to replenish your health.
Hand Gun
If Raz finds the 9mm Hand Gun, his combat odds improve dramatically. The first time you get a chance to use the gun its chamber is empty. Before you can fire it, you'll have to locate a full clip.
When an enemy confronts you:
1. Access your inventory and select the Hand Gun.
2. Press and hold R1 to draw the gun.
3. D-Button to get the enemy in your sights, then press X to fire.
Your enemies become more difficult to beat as the game progresses, and the amount of clips is limited. Save your bullets as long as you can so you still have ammo when you need it most.
