Mike writes, "The visual style of Overcast is reminiscent of the recently released (and reviewed) Montague’s Mount. This game’s use of extreme film grain has a similar effect; it makes things very hard to see, and actually becomes annoying and distracting rather than creepy. Unfortunately, the option to turn it off in this game was not available which meant I was forced to deal with it. In all honesty, I was a bit let down by the overall look of this game."

Survival horror games are meant to be played on dark nights with headphones/surround sound, possibly with a friend. They should make the player scream like a child, muttering “Oh Jesus oh Buddha oh help me crapcrapcrapcrapCRAP!”
Maybe that’s just my own way of enjoying a horror game. The classics and modern greats all elicited the same reaction, and the poor examples of the genre left me unimpressed, underwear dry. Where Overcast: Walden and the Werewolf lies is somewhere in between, managing a few scares while failing to deliver a solid experience.
