Overload is an upcoming video game being developed by Revival Productions. The game has been described as a 'spiritual successor' to the video games Descent and Descent II. Members of Revival Productions include founders Matt Toschlog and Mike Kulas, who started Parallax Software, the company behind the first two Descent titles, as well as Luke Schneider from Radian Games.
Music and sound effects for the game are being developed by Dan Wentz and Allister Brimble, who worked on the original sound design and MIDI music of Descent. In February 2016 Dan Wentz released previews for the game soundtrack via his Soundcloud account.
The project received partial funding from a Kickstarter campaign, which raised $306,537 from 4,896 backers on March 12, 2016.
A 'playable teaser' for the game was released on March 7, 2016 via the Steam distribution platform. A second demo showcasing VR features of the game was demonstrated at PAX west in September 2016.
