Overclocked: A History Of Violence Hints
How do I get past the ventilation fan?
1 of 12: The fan blades are spinning too quickly for you to be able to simply crawl through at the right time.
2 of 12: If only we had a way to stop them spinning...
3 of 12: We can't control the fan by switching it off or anything like that, but there is a way to stop it.
4 of 12: A rather more forceful way, but a way none the less.
5 of 12: You need to jam an object into the blades of the fan in order to cause it to become jarred and stop spinning.
6 of 12: The only item in your inventory is the pistol, but this will not work.
7 of 12: You need to look around the few screens you have access to here to see if you can find a more suitable object.
8 of 12: Something heavy and blunt would be ideal.
9 of 12: Perhaps an item we recently dislodged from a wall elsewhere?
10 of 12: Go back to the brick wall and take one of the loose bricks from the floor.
11 of 12: This will work perfectly. You can now head back to the fan and use the brick with the blades.
