The House of the Dead Overkill is a really fun modern take on HOTD.
It's not as serious as the first games in the series and has a more dark and more humorous side that is not suitable for kids!
It's available on Steam included with The Typing of the Dead Overkill, and works out of the gate with the Sinden light gun. But it does require a few tweaks to get working!
Buy HOTD - Overkill (Typing Of The Dead) on Steam Download/Buy
Setup Guide
HOTD Overkill will work from the get go with the Sinden Lightgun.
However if you are running on Windows 10 the game will probably crash when you load it from the Steam GUI.
Thankfully its a really easy fix!
Simply navigate to the games installation directory, The default is usually:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Typing of the Dead Overkill
Next find the HOTD_NG executable and rename it to "HOTD - safemode"
Thats it!
Now launch the game directly from the executable, If you try to play via the steam GUI it will update and overwrite the changes you have just made.
Crosshair Removal
Crosshair removal patch (Thanks to Argonlefou) download from Mega.nz
To install the patch just overwrite the files in the games main directory with the ones inside the zipped archive.
If you use the patch you no longer have to rename the executable but you still need to run it directly.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. Where can I get some?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
