About Overlook
Overlook is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure with a cozy aesthetic and a focus on gentle exploration. Developed by indie creator omidjm, it launched on PC and Mac in November 2025. The game tasks you with finding missing people, lost objects, or helping folks with small tasks like delivering items. The vibe is intentionally low-stress and humorous, with quirky characters and a hidden cat that appears in bushes. It’s a short, lighthearted experience designed to feel like a warm cup of tea. No combat, no pressure, just clicking around to uncover secrets in a whimsical world.
Gameplay
You spend most of Overlook clicking around static scenes, searching for interactive objects or people to talk to. The puzzles are simple: drag-and-drop items into the right hands or locations. The environments are small but densely layered with hidden details, encouraging slow exploration. Each task feels like a mini-errand, find a lost earring, return a letter, track down a wandering neighbor. The controls are basic, with a highlight system to guide your cursor. The lack of time limits or difficulty ensures you can take breaks between tasks. The hidden cat acts as a fun, optional easter egg, but it’s not required to complete the game.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings sit at 4.3/5, with 82% approval. Average playtime is 5.5 hours, and 68% of players finish 100%. Moods are mostly relaxed (78%) and cheerful (63%), though 15% call it “too brief.” One reviewer wrote, “I wanted more cat scenes but respect the concise design.” Another noted, “The art makes every click feel cozy.” The game has 23 achievements, including “Found the Cat” and “Completed Every Errand.” Despite its brevity, 92% of players say they’d revisit the world for more side quests.
PlayPile's Take
Overlook is a $14.99 micro-adventure for fans of gentle, art-forward games. It lacks depth but excels as a 5-hour mood booster. The hand-drawn style and dry humor stand out, though the short runtime may feel underwhelming for the price. If you want a quick, stress-free way to unwind, this is a solid pick. But don’t expect a large story, stick to its strengths as a charming, bite-sized escape.
