OVERSEER
A Tex Murphy Mystery
A Walkthrough
by
P. Hart
In Overseer - and as in many adventure games of this type - there
are many items to take into your inventory. In Overseer, whenever
your cursor goes over something it can interact with, the cursor
will turn into a crosshair. So whenever you see the crosshairs,
check it out. Also, check out items that you find in your
inventory. Examining items will sometimes yield more items. There
will also be times when you need to combine certain items to make
another item. So search around your environment carefully and
meticulously. Open doors, drawers, and cabinets. Sometimes you
have to get down low in your elevation and look under things.
In Overseer, Tex has the Vid-Phone on his desk that has the
feature, the American Information Database (AID). Whenever you
find out some new information, new name, etc., it's a good idea to
enter it into the AID. Then Tex's fax machine will automatically
spit out the information requested. Read these in your inventory.
Also in the game, there will be times where you have to choose a
conversation path from three choices. In the early part of the
game, it doesn't really matter what choices you make, the outcome
is the same. I offer, though, the choices I made. There are times
later, though, where you must choose the conversation paths I give
in order to complete a scene. In a certain instance, if you don't,
Tex dies. Also, when you get to the "Ask about" list, it's
advisable to ask characters about everything that's available.
They may not always have information on what you ask, but it's
better to be safe than sorry. Besides, sometimes it can be
humorous to hear some of the responses. And don't worry if a
certain character or two becomes impatient or angry while you are
asking them things; you will not get cut off no , matter what they
say.
This walkthrough can be used for the Entertainment level or the
Gamers level, but especially the Gamers level. There are no on-
line hints in the Gamers level, or the ability to type in the
"911" code to pass over a given puzzle as there is in the
Entertainment level. So here goes. And remember to search your
environment thoroughly and carefully.

Tex's office.
Turn on Vidphone and dial into the AID; Ask about Jim Slade;
Larry Hammond; Samuel Q. Jones; and Greg Call. Retrieve and read
faxes in inventory. Then Travel to Gideon's house.
Ask about Samuel Q. Jones. (You can also if you want, ask/show
photo of Sylvia and Schimming, but Gideon won't want to discuss
it). Then Travel back to Capricorn.
Ask About all available topics. Then Travel to the Fresno office.
Immediately turn around and look down at the floor in front of
the door. Pick up the UPEX package; examine it in inventory to get
the STG note and the braille alphabet. Examine note in inventory
first. Then in inventory, combine the braille alphabet with the
plastic tag you got from Eve Clements. Use the braille alphabet to
find the word: NEXUS. Then Travel to Gideon's house.
Choose conversation path: Where to? Then Ask About NEXUS. Then
Travel to Greg Call's lab.
Turn to your right and notice the autoclave. In front of you to
the left of the autoclave, pick up the passcard reader. Then make
your way all the way around the other side to where the computer
is; look down and get newspaper article and examine in inventory.
Then go around to the examination table; get down low in a
crouched position till you find the clipboard; get the notes, and
then get the passcard. Examine in inventory. At the foot of the
examination table is a machine; get the syringe lying there. Then
go back around to the autoclave, get passcard from inventorey, and
scan the card in the reader to the right of the autoclave; all the
doors will pop open. Go to autoclave: N216, which is on the top
right. Take the bottle of Saline solution. Then continue around to
your left to the alcove where the Implant removal Station is; in
inventory, combine Saline solution with syringe. Then examine
loaded syringe in inventory; this will trigger a video sequence in
which Tex wil!
l inject himself with the syringe. It might be good to Save Game
here. Then click on and turn on the Implant Removal Station. The
goal here is to guide the needle/syringe into the brain which will
then turn your cursor into a little blue cross. Guide the cross
through the "network" until you get to the glowing little green
diamond in the center. Avoid the other little glowing orbs that
chase you along the way; contact with these will drain some of
your power. The best entrance for your syringe is down near the
front left lobe of the brain. After successfully reaching the
green diamond, there will be a long video sequence with the
mystery guest, Larry Hammond. Afterwards, examine inventory to get
another STG passcard and an envelope. Examine envelope in
inventory to get Call's note and chess moves note; examine them in
inventory. Then head back around to where you came in. To the left
of the doors is the autoclaves, but to the right is a light panel;
turn on the switch next !
to the light panel; notice the dark shape down at the bottom
right han
d corner of the light panel. Move the light panel and retrieve
another STG passcard. Then go over to the computer and attach the
passcard reader; then scan passcard "D". From examining Greg
Call's letter, and the STG note that you got in the UPEX package,
decipher Greg Call's letter to get the password of: Gambit. Type
this in computer interface. After a long video sequence, you will
end up back at the Law and Order Party Headquarters.
At lobby, go forward and get behind the front desk to where the
open door is; enter the reception hall. Inside, go all the way
around the back to the buffet table and get the chopsticks out of
the Chinese food. Then head around to the patio doors and get the
music stand; examine it in inventory to extend the music stand. In
inventory, combine the Law and Order Party pamphlet with the
extended music stand. Then go over between the two sets of doors
where the Law and Order Party emblem is; look above it and notice
the video camera. In inventory, get stand with pamphlet and click
it on the camera. You have fooled the guard. Then go to the side
of the room where you see what looks like a curtain with the Law
and Order Party emblem on it; when clicking on it and using the
Observe icon, Tex will say it looks like a beach towel. Move the
"beach towel". Then notice the ozonator next to the door to the
right; use the chopsticks from inventory to open it up further.
Then use your top!
level ID badge on this scanner. When doors open, enter. Inside,
approach John Klauss's desk. Get photo of Sylvia and Gideon on
desk; examine in inventory. Then look down on floor in front of
desk and get the note from Klauss; examine in inventory: this note
will be useful for getting out of the Law and Order Party
Headquarters. Then go to the opposite side of the room and click
on the tape player on the desk; turn it on,, listen, turn it off.
Then open the drawer on the far right hand side of the desk; get
the cat picture. Then notice the book on the tray that is hanging
over top of the examination table; you can open it up and read it
but not take it. Then examine cat picture in inventory; this will
separate it and give you a frame and passcard pieces. In
inventory, examine passcard pieces and assemble the passcard. Then
exit Klauss's lab. Then go over to your left in the reception hall
to the desk that has the telephone. Then dial in extension 107
(from Klauss's note). T!
hen exit reception hall back out into the lobby. In lobby, turn
to fac
e the doors and use your top level security card to open doors. Go
forward and Travel to Tex's office.
At office, answer the Vidphone. Answer both messages. Then Travel
to Rank and File Chess Shop to find out about your message. Read
message on computer screen. After reading message and exiting from
the computer screen, you will automatically Travel to the San
Thomas Mission. Once inside, immediately turn around, look down,
and pick up rock that is in front of the broom. Then turn to your
left a little bit, and notice the old tool box that is on the
floor; open it and get the penknife that is on the left. Then if
you try to operate the elevator that is behind you, you'll
discover that it doesn't work. Instead, go back to the far right
where the shelves are; move the boxes there to the far right.
Behind the boxes, open the electrical panel; then turn on the
power switch. Then, before entering elevator, it would be
advisable to Save Game. To open elevator, click on buttons to the
left side. After the long video sequence, you HAVE to choose the
following conversation paths to s!
urvive: Choose conversation paths: Make a last request; Ask for
one last kiss; Give penknife to Sylvia; Challenge Slade; Go for
the light switch, then hide; Use rock as a diversion; Grab shield,
run for the landing; Buy some time; Toss STG passcard into clock
gears. After long video sequence, you will go to Gideon's bedroom.
Go forward straight in front of you, and on the little bench get
the schematic drawing; examine in inventory. Then, facing the foot
of the bed, go up the left side. Open the box on the floor in
front of the bed side table; get the chess pieces. Go around the
back of the head of the bed, and on other side, get the barbell on
the floor. While standing up near the head of the bed, look out
onto the floor area in front of you; you'll notice that it is a
chess board. And note the pillars that are around this chess
board, and the chess pieces that stand atop of these pillars. So
take note at which "positions" that these pillars are on, which
"square". Now approach the actual chess table in the middle of the
room that is surrounded by the three little benches. Keep in mind
your orientation; that is, where the foot of the bed is located in
relation to these three benches. Then get chess pieces from
inventory and click them on top of the chess table; this brings up
the interface. In!
the interface, drag the appropiate chess pieces to the position
they belong in when you observed the pillars around the room, and
the chess pieces that sat atop them. Remember to keep in mind the
positioning of those benches, and where they were located in
relation to the foot of the bed. The view of this in the puzzle
interface is slightly different than from when you were looking at
it previously. When chess pieces have been placed correctly, a big
door will open at the other end of the room.
Go through big door, turn around, and you'll see that it's an
elevator. Press the button on the panel; you will now go to
Gideon's Gallery. Standing on the balconey, notice the chandeliers
overhead. Turn to your right and go over and notice the little
switch on the wall; click on the switch to lower the chandeliers.
Then, make like you're heading to the elevator, but start to head
to the left hand stairway. Click on the brass railing at the top;
you can remove a piece of it to your inventory. Do the same thing
at the top right hand side stairway; you should now have two brass
pieces of the railing. Then in inventory, combine - one at a time
- each piece of the brass railing with the barbell; after both are
combined, you have one long railing. Then turn back around and
approach the edge of the balconey. Then click the long railing
onto the chandelier; after the short video sequence, go to the far
right corner of the walkway, turn around, and look down to the
left to see the !
panel. Click on the panel to open it. It's advisable to Save Game
here (Now, remember the schematic diagram from inventory). Then
push button inside of panel to activate the test pattern. Then
following diagram below, hop down to the center area of the floor
below, and go to position "B".
At position "B", face the doorway to the North. (Throughout this,
it's best to keep your view just slightly downward so as to keep a
better eye on the floor). Watch floor till the 4th test phase
ends. After the 4th test phase, the rear half of the floorway is
dark and unarmed. When the 5th phase begins, the entire doorway
darkens; then move forward through doorway to position "C". Turn
left and face the doorway to the West, but keep your distance,
because the floor just inside will be armed. Wait at "C" until the
end of the 6th test phase. At the end of 6th, the floor just
inside doorway to the West is white and armed. When the 7th test
phase begins, the entire floor through the doorway darkens; go
through the West doorway to position "D". Turn back around to face
the doorway which is now to the East of you. Wait till the end of
the 9th test phase; the floor just to the East will be white and
armed. When the 10th test phase begins, the entire floor through
the doorway darken!
s; go back through the doorway to position "E". Again, turn back
around to face the doorway to the West. Wait here till the end of
the 11th test phase. The floor through the doorway is white and
armed. When the 12th test phase begins, the entire floor through
the doorway darkens; go through West doorway to position "F" and
face North. When the 14th test phase begins, the square to the
North turns dark and unarmed; move forward to position "G". Turn
right to face East. The next phase - the 15th - the ENTIRE gallery
floor is dark and unarmed. Now, hurry to the door at position "H";
quickly, open the door and EXIT (Phew !).
You are now in the hallway. Turn right and head down the
corridor; a little of the ways down, notice the bench on your
left: look down on bench and get the CD. Then turn to your right
again, go straight, and open double doors in front of you. Enter
Gideon's Study.
Upon entering, go over into the far left hand corner; find the
false section of books on the top shelf of the bookcase amd Move
them. Retrieve the metal cross. Then go to the opposite side of
the room to where there is a stained glass version of a sword. Get
metal cross from inventory and click it onto the stained glass
sword; this brings up the puzzle interface. You need to place the
cross in the bottom left hand corner square; this will open a
panel. Retrieve the little blue security card. Go back to the
middle of the room where there is the semi-circular desk; note the
Dinosaur/Dime-O- Saur. From inventory, get your coin and use the
dime on the Dime-O-Saur. Then retrieve the key that the Dime-O-
Saur drops. Exit Gideon's Study back out to hallway.
Start to go forward and make your first left. Go down this
hallway and go left again and approach the double doors. Use the
key you got from the Dime-O-Saur to open these doors. Enter
Gideon's Game Room.
In the Game room, if you want, for fun, go to the far right hand
corner of the room, and yopu can play the video game, Mean Streets
(although, this is not necessary to the game itself). Otherwise,
turn and face the pool table. Click on the various pool balls; you
will be able to take eight of them into your inventory. Examine
the pool balls in inventory; note that the numbers and the colors
do not match up with standard pool balls. Also note which color
goes with which number. Then turn and head for the fireplace, but
notice the little table on the right hand side of the sofa. Look
down and get jigsaw puzzle pieces. Examine jigsaw puzzle pieces in
inventory to bring up the interface. Complete puzzle to get a
picture of Alcatraz. Then, examine this in inventory to see the
eight passwords; make a note of them. Exit the Gameroom back out
into the hallway.
In hallway, go forward, make your right, go straight, then make a
left, and make a left again. Approach the double doors, but then
turn to your left. Note the access panel. Click on the access
panel to bring up the interface. Using the pool balls as a
reference, enter this code: Click on colored squares first - Red
square, 1; Blue square, 6; Orange square, 4; Purple square, 7;
Black square, 3; Yellow square, 8; Magenta square, 5; Green
square, 2. This will de-activate the alarm. Turn to your right and
open the double doors. Enter Gideon's control room.
Upon entering, note the graphic of Alcatraz behind the computer.
Then raise your height elevation and get the CD from atop the
computer monitor on your right. Then, just below this monitor,
notice the little slide drawer; open this up and place in Gideon's
disk # 1; read all information carefully and make a note of it.
Then get Gideon's disk # 2 and place it in the drawer; read this
information and make a note of it. Now turn around and face the
exit door. Note the security over-ride panel to the right of the
door. This will de-activate the Gallery floor so you don't have to
negotiate that again. Get little blue security card from inventory
and click this on the over-ride panel. Then open doors and exit
back out to hallway.
Go all the way down hallway and make your right. Then, when you
get to the flower vase on your left, turn right and face the
double doors and open them; go back into Gallery. The floor is now
unarmed. Head straight up the middle, and then go up one of the
sides to the top of the balconey. Click on the brass elevator
doors; enter. This will trigger a video sequence. After the video
sequence, you're in the Alcatraz jail cell.
Move the cot that's to your left; then Move the loose bricks on
the wall. This will bring up the interface. Manipulate the bricks
so that you have a perfectly square hole in the center with no
gaps all around. Once through to the other side, in the next cell,
turn completely around and get the loose brick. Then turn around,
notice cot, and take the hook chain on the right hand side. Then
look out cell bars to your left and see the shelf. Use brick from
inventory and click on shelf. After you dislodge shelf, tilt view
down and see the tarp on the floor. Then get chain hook from
inventory and use as a make-shift grappling hook to drag the tarp
towards you. Then get laser torch and electrical tape. Then use
laser torch on bars. When in cell block "A", immediately go to
your left and get into the open cell on your left (Note: when in
Alcatraz, it's a good idea to Save Game after successfully
completing anything). In cell, while facing rear, look up on the
left hand side of the !
wall and get barbed wire; examine in inventory to get it
unrolled. Then turn around and face opening of cell. Then wait for
the droid to pass from Right to Left; then follow it, BUT, at a
respectful distance. Follow it around the corner, but then as you
do, start bearing to the right; look through the bars and see the
key on the floor. Use the unrolled barbed wire from inventory to
retrieve key. Then use the key on cell door to cell block "B".
Once in cell block "B", turn to your left, open the door to that
cell, and go through to the visiting station. As soon as you cross
through the doorway, look to your left, notice the overturned
chair, Move it, and retrieve the gas mask. Then turn to your
right, go to the end of that cell, through the door, turn right,
then use your key to open cell door. Inside cell, look down, and
get the Gideon security passcard. Then turn around and head to the
double doors; open them and head into cell block "C".
Once through the doors, a guard droid heads toward you. Quickly
turn to your right, against the wall, and go down to the corner.
For now, as long as you stay in that corner, the guard droid
cannot "see" you. Then, wait for that guard droid to go back DOWN
that corridor. Then, follow at a VERY safe distance, then go into
the empty cell two thirds of the way down on your left (if you
don't feel as though you can make it to that one in time, there is
a cell a lttle closer; get in that one and wait till it's safe.
Then go to that next one). Inside of cell, get the key hanging on
peg; this is the key to cell block "D". Turn and face opening of
cell. Now, in case you didn't notice it on your way down this
corridor, at the end - high up on the wall - is a canister; you'll
be needing to get this later. Facing the opening, again, wait for
the droid to pass from Right to Left. Then go quickly back up the
corridor from where you came. Then go to cell block "D"s door,
which is on your !
left when you make your left at the end of the corridor. Use the
key you get from the peg to open the door.
Once you enter cell block "D", make a left, and go down the line
of cells; go down to cell 7: this is the supply room. Then go back
to the entrance of cell block "D". Look at the control panel; open
it and look at the directions on the inside of door. Move the
right-most handle down to position 10. Return to the now open cell
7 supply room. Enter and look down at floor at the tiny explosives
crate; open it and get the explosive/detonator device inside. Exit
cell and turn right and go down the set of stairs. Open the door
at the bottom and enter the Dungeon.
Upon entering Dungeon, turn to the right and click on the metal
door; Tex smells a foul odor. open the door, enter, and get the
garbage bag. Examine the bag in inventory to get the dirty air
filter. Exit this room, start down hallway, and take your first
right. Go down to the "strangely ominous door". Open door and
enter. The droid in here is dead. Look down on floor in front of
droid and pick up the Tool; it is a filter removal tool. Exit this
room. Go to the end of this hallway and make a right. Go forward
and click on air filtration unit just below the fan but use the
Observe icon; watch the little video sequence. Then make a right
and go down towards the end of this corridor hugging the right
hand side wall. Move the crates that are against the right hand
side wall; then, get down into a low crouched position, and go
around this right hand corner. Follow this all the way around,
come up in elevation just a little bit, and get the screwdriver
that is on top of the crate !
at the end. Then Travel to cell block "C".
And again, immediately turn right, and duck up against the wall
on the right hand side and go to the safety of the corner (It's
advisable to Save Game here to save the progress you've made thus
far). The plan now is to follow the droid again - at a VERY safe
distance of course - and ducking in to open cell to open cell as
necessasary. When in one of the open cells, wait for the droid to
pass from Left to Right - and for the droid to be a fair distance
away - then come out of the cell, make a left, and go to the end
of this corridor. Up high on the end of this wall is a gas
canister; use the screwdriver from inventory to retrieve it. Then
once again - and quickly - duck in from open cell to open cell as
necessasary, making your way to cell block "D". Open door and
enter cell block "D". Once inside of cell block "D", you may NOW
Travel to the Dungeon.
Once again, it is advisable to save your progress thus far. Once
in the Dungeon, make your way to the air filtration unit. Then, in
inventory, combine electrical tape with the timer/detonator to get
a taped explosive. Then combine the gas canister with the taped
explosive to make a gas bomb. Then combine the dirty air filter
with the gas bomb to make an air filter bomb. Then use the filter
removal tool to open the air filtration unit's cover. Then use the
air filter bomb on the clean filter. Watch the video sequence.
Then make a right down the corridor, heading towards the crates;
make a left, then get behind the guards desk. Retrieve the
hairbrush on the desk; examine brush in inventory to get Gideon's
hair. Then come out from behind the desk and use your guards
passcard on the security card reader to open the set of double
doors with the sword on it. Then go through doors and head down
towards the end to the DNA scanner at the end of the hall. Then
use Gideon's hair from !
inventory on the floor of the DNA scanner; watch video sequence.
Then, when prompted, use each of the passwords from the STG
passcards:
A = Queen
B = Draw
C = Castle
D = Gambit
E = Bishop
F = Resign
G = Checkmate
H = Knight
Then watch video sequence. Then, in order to win the final chess
match, you MUST make the following moves in the following ORDER :
1 = RD1
2 = RXE7
3 = QXD7
4 = BF5
5 = BD7
6 = BXE7
This is it : Checkmate; System Overlord - De-activated. You have
won the game. Watch the end video sequence.
And, there is a very obvious "hint" for a sequel.
THE END
