PROVOCATION!

The peace was short-lived: someone began inciting Freemen to disorder all around town. It's not exactly clear what the rebels are after, and their deeds grow more vile by the day. Detective Ethan Connor takes the case, setting out to the Wasteland to interrogate the leaders of Freeman communes.

The "Looming Revolt" event will start on July 26 at 10:00 UTC, and it will only last for 1 week!

Complete quests, collect tokens, and use roulettes to get mercenaries and precious rewards!
But beware, after the end of the event, all tokens will disappear. Make the most of them while the event is on!

Hello, Overlords!

A few important updates are coming to Overlewd soon, and we wanted to share with you what to expect from us concerning the main events and skins distribution.

What should you know about main events, apart from well-known features like guest matriarchs and maps? All of them will last for 2 months (yes) and consist of 2 phases, one per month, to keep you nice and entertained.

Each phase will have its own featured character, a daily log-in calendar, and a battle pass. Each event's character, apart from their astonishing looks, will bring a set of equipment and thematic skins for your battle girls. Also, can't forget about the main guy - each event will bring new equipment for the Overlord.

We know, you miss skins, and we have some news for you. All of them will become obtainable very soon. We'll add a purchase option to the skins screen in the Harem, but you'll also be able to buy them in the in-game shop using resources. Some of them will be obtainable for basic resources, like wood and ore, others for crystals. The price will vary depending on the skin's rarity and current main event - skins featured in the current event will be cheaper, so don't miss out!

As always, please let us know what you think about the upcoming changes! News on the special event coming soon!

Dear Friends,

We are always looking for ways to improve the quality of Blood Raiders. This time we'd like to inform you about noticeable visual improvements that make the game look so much better now.

First, we've enhanced 3D maps of the game by adding more objects, like ancient ruins, altars, stones, statues, etc. More light sources are placed strategically for a more cinematic look on maps. And we've added shadows with higher resolution as well.



More detailed 3D character models for the main protagonist, enemies, and NPC are also part of the game now. They all have better movement animations, textures, and materials. With this update, we've moved from a chibi-like style to a semi-realistic one, which better matches the artistic vision of the game.



2D art has been greatly improved to make all characters, NPC and enemies on par with improved 3D style. All character sprites for dialogues and scenes have been enhanced. They not only look better, but also have a wider set of facial expressions to be used during interactions. Your friends and enemies have never looked better!



And of course, we've invested a lot of time into remaking all explicit and hardcore scenes of the game. Hot babes look stunningly beautiful during all kinds of sex scenes, and you can almost feel how wet and horny they are.



Dear friends, we're happy to work on such a great game, and can't wait to deliver a Steam demo for you to enjoy. Stay tuned!
