# Overview
Overlook is a game of moves plays and observation skills. It’s ideal for a small or big group of friends. Put your skills to the test and find out who can outplay the rest! You will often have to keep a cool head and try to mislead the opposite team in order to achieve victory. It’s not an easy task – the clock is ticking and time isn’t always in your favour. You will have to split into two teams choosing between infected robots and overseers. Thanks to game’s flexibility and party gameplay features Overlook supports 2-16 players on a single PC or console (up to 8 gamepads required).

Don’t get caught red-handed!
## Overseers
Your job is to find players from the other team and remove them from the game. Move your marker along the map and try to locate infected robots. You can examine the status of
