Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-puzzle players who want fast decisions alongside logic challenges

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who need a relaxed puzzle pace may hit a wall when dodging and solving must happen quickly
- Players seeking a fixed, predictable sequence may bounce off the changing traps and room choices
- Players looking specifically for climbing-focused exploration may prefer Jusant
- Players wanting multiplayer shooting action may prefer Abyssus
Our take on Overhaul
The likely bounce point arrives when puzzle solving is paired with real-time evasion. Players who prefer to study logic challenges without hostile creatures or time pressure may struggle once movement, enemy handling, and object use must be coordinated.
What is Overhaul?
Overhaul is a top-down action puzzle game in which Ikalee enters an abandoned Power Plant to restore power to a village.
Progress combines logic challenges with quick movement: players dodge threats, carry objects, pick up enemies, and use interactions between strange entities to survive. Each time the Core is reached, the Power Plant shifts and creates new traps for future ventures. Players choose between more difficult rooms for better rewards and easier rooms for a smoother run. Collected energy can be spent at the Energy Well to unlock abilities, while items provide further growth. The hand-drawn 2D setting presents the plant’s mysteries with music that moves from moody passages to energetic melodies.
