OverBlood is a survival horror video game starring Raz Karcy as he tries to find his way out the secret research centre belonging to Lystra Laboratories while dealing with the remnants of their genetic experiments, which might explain why Raz turned British in the sequel. It was described as the first survival horror game to make use of a fully three-dimensional environment. This didn't impress critics.
