Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice · Deflection Co-Pilot
Over 68% of Sekiro players never finished the journey.
There are no spirit summons and no grinding levels in Ashina. When you hit a wall, you either learn the rhythm or quit. Overlord runs beside Sekiro on your PC, watches your screen, and talks you through the rhythm: when to jump a sweep, when to Mikiri a thrust, and how to break a boss's posture before Genichiro or Sword Saint Isshin ends your run.

The numbers behind the quit
It is not that the game is bad. It is that most people never see the end of it.
These are public figures, not marketing. They describe a very large group of players who paid full price and stopped before the credits rolled.

We cannot promise you will finish it. We can put a guide that knows the fights beside you while you try.
No completion, score or outcome is guaranteed. Overlord gives guidance, not results.
“Many players will find themselves quitting early on and ultimately feeling cheated for their purchase.” — player discussion, r/ShouldIbuythisgame
What Overlord is
A guide that talks you through, not a tool that plays for you.
Overlord runs on your computer, beside the game. It is built for single-player play and it is deliberately simple about what it touches and what it does not.
Reads the screen
With your permission, it watches your screen: the view a person sitting beside you would have. It doesn't read or change game memory, it doesn't inject code into the game, and it never presses a key for you.
Speaks in real time
It calls the next objective, the item you just walked past, and the fight that is about to turn — out loud, while you play, instead of on a second monitor.
Researched the first time you play
Sekiro isn't preloaded yet. The first time you play, Overlord researches it from public guides: its areas, items, bosses and how to beat them.
Three in-character voices
A celestial goddess, a field commander and a shadow guru, each with its own voice from Google Cloud Text-to-Speech.
On your machine
Runs on Windows 10/11 or Linux beside the game you already own, with every feature on both. Answers and the voice come from our cloud service, so it needs an internet connection.
Built for single-player
Overlord is made for single-player games. It isn't meant to give anyone an edge in competitive online play, and we don't make guides for competitive multiplayer games.

Does Overlord change or control the game?
No. Overlord watches your screen, with your permission, the way a person sitting next to you would. It doesn't read or change game memory, change game files, inject code or press keys for you. Each game sets its own rules about outside help, so check the terms of the games you play.
What do I need to run it?
A Windows 10/11 or Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) PC beside the game you already own. Every feature works on both. There is nothing to install into the game itself and no patch to manage. You also need an Overlord AI account and an internet connection for answers and the voice.
How much does it cost?
The demo is free: 30 minutes of live play with no credit card, one trial per person. After that, Subscription is $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year for one machine, and Pro is $39.99 a month or $399.99 a year for three PCs. You can cancel any time.
Does it support Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice?
Yes. Sekiro isn't preloaded yet: Overlord researches it from public guides the first time you play, and the map fills in as you go.
Get past the boss that made you quit.
Thirty minutes free, no card. See whether a co-pilot that has read every fight is the thing that finally gets you through.
