Overclocked: A History Of Violence Hints

  • 1 of 11: You're going to need to look around the cell for possible means of escape.
  • 2 of 11: The door is locked securely, and there isn't any way that you are going to be able to escape through it.

  • 4 of 11: The ventilation shaft at the opposite end of the room is your answer.
  • 5 of 11: If you look closely at it, you will see that there is a knife just beyond it, which someone has clearly left there.

  • 7 of 11: You need to find a way to get that knife.
  • 8 of 11: Once you have the knife, you need to use it to escape.
  • 9 of 11: There are four screws on each of the four corners of the grill covering the ventilation shaft.
  • 10 of 11: You can use your knife to unscrew each of these.
  • 11 of 11: And once you have, you can climb down into the tunnels.
