OVERDOSE Steam Charts & Stats

Worth the price.

It’s like Groundhog Day… if groundhogs lived in a haunted asylum and screamed every five minutes. I loved the setting the spooky asylum vibe and flickering lights had me genuinely spooked (in a good way). The repetition kinda kills the game honestly and the Jump scares are on the “pop goes the weasel” level.  It’s a rough-around-the-edges indie horror with some genuine cool moments and atmosphere but it’s also like a spooky hamster wheel. worth a play-through if you’re into quirky horror and can forgive a little repetitive loop. Don’t expect polished perfection, but if you’re cool with atmospheric jank, basic scares, and some replay value. Overdose scratches that indie horror itch just fine.

OVERDOSE is a creepy, minimalist survival-horror management game where you're dropped into a rundown hospital and tasked with keeping a group of experimental patients alive (and contained). The game begins with a short but functional tutorial led by a doctor, who shows you the layout and tools you'll rely on: where to grab coffee (your sanity meter), the bathroom you'll need to visit because of it, the surveillance computer to monitor patient vitals and a lurking killer, the medication files to learn each patient's case, and the storage room where you’ll prepare and deliver meds. Each night, your job is to balance a few repeating systems: administer the right drug at the right time, make sure no one overdoses, sedate and return any escapees, and upload a surveillance video to your anonymous dark web employer at the end of each hour. The tension slowly builds through subtle sound design, dim lighting, and occasional hallucinations or jumpscares tied to your sanity level. The killer occasionally appears as a roaming threat, but the horror is more about dread and unease than non-stop action. What OVERDOSE really is, at its core, is a grim time-management sim dressed in psychological horror. The scares are mild but effective, and the vibe leans more unsettling than terrifying. It's not a fast-paced game, and it definitely won't be for everyone — especially those expecting intense horror or deep narrative. But if you enjoy slower-paced games that involve monitoring systems, micromanaging tasks under pressure, and surviving shifts in a hostile environment, OVERDOSE might scratch a unique itch. —The Ember Archives https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45601239/
