What to study
The other end of the Overdrive system: the top bar reads OVERHEAT in red, the danger state the player manages by balancing actions, with the same turn-order and HP/TP chrome as the Overdrive frame so the two read as a pair. The whale enemies and flat teal arena keep the HUD unobstructed. Frame at 0:39 in the Accolades Trailer movie (Steam). Disclosure: none.
